The Moores
We are John and Nancy Moore. We are beginning a new church in Johannesburg, South Africa, named New Hope Baptist. We have a good core group of believers who are growing in the Lord. Our most recent progress is in the growth of member involvement in outreach.
We “reproduce and replace ourselves.” Our most valuable time is spent with believers, discipling them that they may do the work of the ministry (Eph 4:11-12). Our discipleship includes: the character of God, basic new believer, marriage, and parenting. Our church membership does more work now than when we began nine months ago. Thus our outreach is progressing as initially we worked with a few, and now those few are working with others. A man with whom we worked initially is now discipling another for the first time and may soon be ready to take the step of working with youth.
We use Bible tracts and have produced our own church literature. One unique resource unknown in our area that we use is sermon CDs. We take several sermon CDs with us in our outreach times and give people an opportunity to “visit” a service before coming for the first time.
