His heart went beyond his family and his extended family to Christian causes and support both at home and abroad. He had a special place in his heart for brothers and sisters persecuted in the Middle East, “the Old Country.” The Middle East Bible Society was an outreach with a special mission that was close to his heart and he generously gave to this organization not because of duty, but because God’s word was shared with him through a missionary he met in Beirut when he was a young man. It was this evangelism, the spreading of hope, the message of hard work, and the good news of God’s word that forever linked Sam Moore to the outreach of others. Sam had a special ability to see one’s gifts and to encouraging others to believe in themselves.
