D+A cognosce Deum, cognoscere a Deo, et notus esto cognoscendo Deum

A hello from us to you and what we're up to
<<< A letter from us to you, Winter 2025 >>>
We are officially launching our non-profit ministry, David + Alena Moore Ministry, The Sanctuary!
Since leaving full-time staff at Gateway in the summer of 2023, we began serving in itinerant ministry, seeking the Lord, clarifying our dreams, and recalibrating our hearts.
We know we are clear on this:
We're always talking about how ministry should flow first from our healthy and flourishing households and friendships.
We love the local church!
We burn for:
-
Genuine friendship with the Lord and reverence for His Presence
-
Pure worship offerings
-
Pastoring and imparting to creatives
An alive dream in a dead language:
cognosce Deum, cognoscere a Deo, et notus esto cognoscendo Deum
know God, be known by God, and be known for knowing God
>>> In this present season of ministry, we have come alongside friends who pastor beautiful church communities in the US and abroad and are helping build their worship and church ministry. We have seen a tremendous need for friendship, encouragement, mentoring, resourcing, and support. We've also seen a significant need to invest in and develop worshippers within the local church communities.
Our hearts beat for this! We have given ourselves to serving in whatever ways we can.
This is how we're doing it:
Weekends -- we are traveling and worship leading, teaching, and preaching at churches, events, and conferences.
Weekdays -- we are in video/in-person meetings mentoring, coaching, pastoring, and even leading worship ministries.
Our involvement is based on the church's needs.
>>> And for the new
We want to host a worship offering called Sacred Sanctuary.
The Hebrew word for Sanctuary is מִקְדָּשׁ (miqdash).
It means a holy place where God is present.
Isn't that what we all long for -- to dwell in His Sanctuary?
We feel so stirred for corporate worship experiences that feel unexploited, creative, and extravagant. We feel like the start of this is to host a worship night called Sacred Sanctuary. A night where everyone who comes will bring their own offering of worship to the Lord! No phones, photos, posting, podcasting, streaming, or album recordings... Just unexploited, extravagant, creative, and wasted worship offerings! After the night, there will be no digital record of what happened, only what God did in our hearts. We're dreaming this up and want it to be with you!
#1 is coming soon.
In addition to the non-profit ministry, in the season ahead, we are working on writing! We feel so pregnant with songs, resources, and books and feel so very ready to deliver these projects!
We have been diligent in praying, working, and preparing.
We are so very grateful and are full of hope.
This season of seeking His lead has clarified one thing: we've already obtained the prize, and it's Him.
And if you already have Him, you have everything you'll ever need.
We want to know God, be known by God and known for knowing God.
Wherever you are in your faith in the Lord, we pray renewed courage, strength, and joy - that the sacred would find a place in your life, even now, and that today would have fresh hope to dream for tomorrow!
our love,
d+a
