Beth Moore, Living Proof Ministries

Wanda Elizabeth ‘Beth’ Moore (born 16th June 1957, nee Green) is an American evangelist, author and Bible teacher. She is the founder of Living proof Ministries, a Bible based organization for women based in Houston, Texas. The ministry focuses on helping women who desire to model their lives on evangelical Christian principles.

At the age of 18 Beth sensed God calling her to work for him. She made it her goal to say ‘yes’ to whatever he asked.
Beth earned a degree in political science from Southwest Texas State University, where she pledged and was initiated into Chi Omega.
Beth married Keith Moore in 1978.
After years of of developing homework for those attending her Bible Study classes she realized she had a ministry.
In 1993 she self- published her first book - Things Pondered.

1994 she founded Living Proof Ministries with the purpose of teaching women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture. With the help of a worship band she assembled, she began holding weekend conferences around the country.(She recently celebrated over 20 years of * Living Proof * conferences.)

By the late 1990s women were packing sports arenas to hear Beth. She earned
speaking slots at big named churches.
A publishing career followed which further magnified her influence. Beth was the first woman to have a Bible study published by ‘Life way’ -the Christian retail giant, and has since reached 22 million women - the most among female authors.

Beth was flying home from a ministry event in October 2016 when she decided to compose tweets to her 900,000 followers. The tweets changed her life.

Betty Green in an article published in October 2018 entitled The Tiny Blond Bible Teacher Taking on the Evangelical Machine gives a lot insight into the problems Beth has as a female evangelist.
The article was written after Beth had sent tweets - a few short messages - to her followers having glimpsed headlines about Donald Trump’s comments on the now infamous Access Hollywood tape. (Read her tweets)
Pastors took to the airways to defend Trump.
The tweets upended Beth’s cheerful feminine world. Some women stopped reading her Bible studies. Event attendance dropped.

Having interviewed Beth, Betty now went to one of Beth’s events. For this intimate gathering, 5,000 - numbers down on arena size crowds she used to speak at.
*Moore worked the room in stiletto boots, greeting strangers as old friends…
Women ran down the aisle of the auditorium, eager to claim their salvation, weeping as they threw their bodies on the ground. Moore walked slowly among them as it in a trance, pausing to rub a back or whisper a prayer.

Betty goes on to say that events which have followed - the accusations of sexual harassment by male Christian leaders against females have embolden Beth. She now speaks her mind freely. ( Read the full article)

Beth regrets that she let others dictate her place in the community.
