Project 98055P - Doris L. Moore Emerging Missionary Scholarship<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Doris Lorene Moore was a true servant leader and a role model.\u00a0 Her energy and vision for women in ministry was profound.\u00a0 Her ideas about the home, family life, and the responsibilities of women in becoming the Godly leaders of their homes will continue to shine as many young female missionaries are blessed with this scholarship.<\/p>\n

Doris graduated from Laurel Hill High School and continued her formal education by enrolling at Holmes College of the Bible in Greenville, South Carolina. Later, after moving to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and working on the campus of Southwestern College of Christian Ministries, Doris graduated from the school with a Bachelor of Arts degree.<\/p>\n

At Holmes, she met Ronald Quentin Moore, a fellow student. Ron and Doris soon agreed they were meant to be lifetime and ministry partners and were soon married.<\/p>\n

Immediately following Ron\u2019s ordination into the ministry in 1961, Ron and Doris received their first pastoral assignment from Upper South Carolina Conference, where they served in three other churches throughout their ministry.<\/p>\n

Wherever they were appointed, Doris was always involved in Women\u2019s Ministries. When Ron agreed to move to Oklahoma City to serve in World Missions Ministries as the Assistant Director, Doris soon volunteered her services at the IPHC headquarters. She was instrumental in organizing and opening the denomination\u2019s Archives and Research Center. Doris also served as secretary on the Women\u2019s Ministries Executive Board. During this period, Doris made it a priority and found delight in serving missionaries and their families, and soon became a trusted confidant to many. Her passion for missions and missionaries never wearied.<\/p>\n

Doris was elected as the president of the General Women\u2019s Auxiliary in 1989. She served in that role for two terms (eight years). During her tenure, she was also a member of the IPHC General Board of Administration.\u00a0 In the 1990s, Doris was the First Lady of Southwestern College of Christian Ministries. This assignment enabled her to continue to invest and mentor generations of younger ladies.<\/p>\n

In 1998, the Moores returned to their home conference, Upper South Carolina.\u00a0 In 2002, Ron was elected to serve as its Conference Superintendent.\u00a0 Doris, always by his side, continued serving and supporting the women, families, and missionaries of the Upper South Carolina Conference as First Lady.<\/p>\n

The one character trait that marked Doris\u2019s life was that she found great purpose and pleasure in investing in the lives of young people, particularly young ladies.\u00a0 She not only invested her time in them, but she was also a very generous financial supporter to many, especially to those involved in missions.<\/p>\n

This scholarship, named in her honor, will assist young missionary ladies in getting to the field for their first full-time assignment and continues her legacy of generosity.<\/p>\n

World Missions Ministries, in consultation with Rev. Moore, will make all scholarship recommendations\/awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Doris was a role model and mentor to many young ladies.\u00a0 My wife, Stephanie, and I thought so highly of Mrs. Doris that we asked her and Rev. Moore to serve as Godparents for our daughter, Kathryn Elizabeth (KatieBeth) Gardner as she epitomized the kind of woman that we envisioned our KatieBeth emulating.\u201d - Bishop J. Talmadge Gardner, Executive Director, IPHC World Missions Ministries & Corporate Secretary<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"La<\/a>Valley Harvest Ministries (VHM) en la Conferencia de los Apalaches proporciona un estudio de caso sobre los beneficios de formar una sociedad entre la iglesia local y el campo misionero.<\/p>

Los misioneros Jeff y Verna Willhoite se convirtieron en miembros de VHM despu\u00e9s de haber ingresado a la IPHC desde otra organizaci\u00f3n misionera. Naturalmente, VHM apoy\u00f3 financieramente a los Willhoites, as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n ayud\u00f3 a otros misioneros y varios proyectos. Sin embargo, hace unos diez a\u00f1os, el pastor Steve Willis y la junta de misiones de la iglesia fueron llevados a alejarse de un enfoque de \u201cescopeta\u201d en sus esfuerzos misioneros, con la esperanza de lograr un mayor impacto al concentrarse en un solo proyecto.<\/p>

Despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de rechazar muchas invitaciones para visitar el campo misionero, el pastor Steve finalmente visit\u00f3 a Jeff y su trabajo en Tailandia. \u201cEl viaje me cambi\u00f3 la vida\u201d, dice el pastor Steve. Una cosa es escuchar historias y ver fotos en una pantalla. Otra cosa es experimentar las vistas, los sonidos, los olores, los sabores y el clima por uno mismo, as\u00ed como dedicar tiempo a conocer a los nacionales y aprender sobre su ministerio y forma de vida.<\/p>

Desde entonces, el pastor Steve ha llevado a varios miembros de la congregaci\u00f3n a un viaje anual a Maesai, ubicado en el \u00e1rea del Tri\u00e1ngulo Dorado del norte de Tailandia. \u201cEste tipo de experiencia pr\u00e1ctica y pr\u00e1ctica les ayuda a apropiarse de un proyecto\u201d, dice.<\/p>

El enfoque de sus esfuerzos ha sido el Centro de Discipulado del Mekong (MDC), una instalaci\u00f3n para capacitar a l\u00edderes, pastores, plantadores de iglesias y misioneros para Tailandia, Myanmar, Laos y China. Los equipos anuales de VHM realizan capacitaci\u00f3n en liderazgo y \/ o trabajos de construcci\u00f3n en la instalaci\u00f3n.<\/p>

Junto con la junta de misiones de la iglesia, el pastor Steve se ha fijado la meta de recaudar $ 10,000 durante el a\u00f1o para el proyecto MDC. \u201cSobrenaturalmente, la financiaci\u00f3n siempre entra, al igual que los gastos de viaje para aquellos que han viajado al campo\u201d, dice. En diez a\u00f1os, han invertido alrededor de $ 100,000 en el MDC, as\u00ed como entre $ 500 y $ 700 por mes en apoyo misional. Los resultados sobre el terreno en Maesai son claramente visibles, tanto en el campus del MDC como en los diversos ministerios que tienen lugar all\u00ed.<\/p>

Aunque los Willhoites se fueron de Tailandia hace varios a\u00f1os para tomar un pastorado, la asociaci\u00f3n entre VHM y el proyecto MDC ha continuado sin interrupci\u00f3n. El pastor Steve y otros l\u00edderes de VHM han desarrollado una relaci\u00f3n de tutor\u00eda con Chang, el joven preparado por Jeff para servir como Director de MDC. Chang, un hombre de muchos talentos y mucho celo, comparte su visi\u00f3n con el pastor Steve y lo busca en busca de orientaci\u00f3n y aliento. Los dos pueden mantenerse en contacto durante todo el a\u00f1o a trav\u00e9s de las redes sociales.<\/p>

\u00bfC\u00f3mo ha afectado esta asociaci\u00f3n a la congregaci\u00f3n local de VHM? \u201cEstoy convencido de que Dios ha puesto su mano en nuestros esfuerzos y nos ha bendecido enormemente al obedecer su mandato de llevar el evangelio a todo el mundo\u201d, dice el pastor Steve. \u201cTailandia est\u00e1 lo m\u00e1s lejos posible de Dublin Virginia, sin embargo, el Se\u00f1or ha extendido el ministerio de VHM literalmente al otro lado del mundo. Me siento tan bien con esto como con cualquier cosa que hayamos hecho durante 44 a\u00f1os de ministerio a tiempo completo ".<\/p>

Jeff recomienda encarecidamente el enfoque espec\u00edfico de una asociaci\u00f3n profunda y duradera entre el misionero y la congregaci\u00f3n local. "Un enfoque centrado en un proyecto de misi\u00f3n en particular permitir\u00e1 a la iglesia captar la visi\u00f3n, apropiarse y establecer una conexi\u00f3n con el reino que beneficia tanto al campo como a la congregaci\u00f3n local".<\/p>
