Former ABSC Director Returns in New Role

Don Moore, a former Executive Director for the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, has been hired as the new Prayer Ambassador for the ABSC.

“[Don’s] heart beats for prayer and awakening across our state and the world,” said Jimmie Sheffield, ABSC Assistant to the Executive Director, “we are really excited about his ministry as our Prayer Ambassador. We believe God will use him to stir the hearts of people all across the state to pray earnestly for revival and spiritual awakening." 

Dr. Moore expressed excitement to be working for the ABSC again, and for the new role, emphasizing the potential for “real awakening” in our society right now. “The critical nature of the times makes it imperative that God’s people really commit themselves to praying,” Moore said. 

Moore’s position will include pursuing prayer opportunities at ABSC events and acting as an internal resource on prayer for Executive Board staff. He will also be in charge of a new Appeals Team, which will engage in focused prayer and be made up of retired pastors, missionaries and church staff.
