It's true that I've found My life's purpose! Some of what I am about to say will shock many of those who truly know me...
Full time ministry has been a calling upon my life for the majority of my life and recently when I decided to follow God's calling and devote my life to full time ministry I was warned that it could be challenging. My ministry leader that said this to me knew that I valued certain things in my life. He lovingly warned me that those things would be radically changed and changed very quickly. The Main Change in my Life is "TIME" One of the things that I truly valued (noticed that it's past tense) was the amount of free time I had and control of my schedule. ALL OF THAT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED and I LOVE IT! I rarely now have any controllable free time due to ministry assignments and personal family responsibilities. I am doing ministry 6 -7 days a week, many times from early morning to late evening, and the rest of the time that I'm not out doing active ministry I have ministry classes online to complete. Along with all of that I still have a house and other things that call for my attention. Gone are the days of going to the gym 5 days a week (I now workout whenever and where ever I can get a workout in), and gone are the days of figuring out what to do with my day. My days are now filled with developing and supporting ministries, meeting with ministry partners, completing my online study work, and other tasks. My personal photography business has almost vanished (and I am o.k. with that). I have worked on becoming more efficient with both my time and money. Friends and family have texted me to check if I am still alive and I assure them that I am (with an apology of not keeping in touch as often that I should). THIS IS A BLESSING - Thank you God! Many people in life sadly never find their life's purpose and I although I thought that I kinda had through photography, i was wrong. When you find your "TRUE" life purpose as I have now found it with full time ministry, you suddenly feel like you are spiritually HOME! Everything now feels truly alive and IS "right" in my life! I can't explain it to you but I pray that everyone can find that in their lives as well. My WHOLE life's purpose is to support and grow the ministry of Jesus Christ and to live ALL of MY LIFE to give GOD glory in EVERYTHING that I do! - Fritz Moore -

So as of January 5th 2014 I began a new life of full time ministry. The term full time ministry may evoke different ideas for different people but as for me it means simply that my life is now fully dedicated to caring for people, bringing them into a relationship with Christ, and developing spiritual growth both for myself and others. All of my resources and time is geared toward the Kingdom of Christ. My actions and conduct will reflect my life vows to Christ and that means many personal changes.
It's a new beginning and my past is now and forever my past from the date mentioned above. I seek growth in both myself and those who are in (and will be in) my life. It means that not only will I serve God within a church structure but every waking moment is serving God. From working on this website to doing errands to conducting bible studies to walking around a mall will all be opportunities to share the gospel (with non believers) and encourage those who do believe. In other words I do not have ministry in my life but my life IS MINISTRY. Keep me in prayer and i invite you to join me in this lifelong journey. - Fritz Moore - 2nd Corinthians 6:3 - 10 NKJV (3) We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. (4) But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, (5) in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; (6) by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, (7) by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, (8) by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; (9) as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; (10) as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. - The Apostle Paul - What is my work? Well as you are reading this you are seeing a part of what God has put on my heart to do as work. The journey of this website began a few years ago and daily there is work to be done and an new urgency that grows within me to complete it.
2nd Corinthians 8:10 - 12 NKJV (10) And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; (11) but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have. (12) For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have. - The Apostle Paul - We have a brand new year to begin and work on the work that God had called us to do. 2024 can be a year for all of us to not only stay busy in God's work but to also train ourselves in staying focused on doing that work! May 2024 be a period of growth spiritually with you and either beginning the work or staying busy in the work that God has placed on your heart! - Fritz Moore - |
