From the beginning, prayer was the heartbeat of the work. Lone
prayer vigils in early morning or late night, twos and threes
agreeing together throughout the day, prayerful hearts at the
work desk, and especially the gathering of the staff in the old
mortuary chapel, where prayer times were sparked by the fiery,
faith-filled prayers of Brother and Sister Moore -- all told that
God’s blessing on the ministry was dependent on and the result
of prayer.

   The ever-present needs of the ministry for workers and
finances were brought before the Throne of God as well as the
need for divine blessing on the messages of the Herald. Always
there were prayers for revival and for the salvation of dying
souls. Often God was beseeched to send deep conviction on sin
to bring men to repentance, for without repentance, God cannot
come and save and deliver and heal -- whether it be the individual
soul or a nation.

   Brother and Sister Moore sometimes wished they could do
nothing but shut themselves away and pour out their lives in
prayer. But God had placed on their shoulders the
responsibilities of the worldwide work of Herald of His Coming,
and they were faithful workers, giving themselves from early
morning until late at night -- their breaks being mostly prayer
breaks, or breaks for necessities such as sleeping and eating
and short walks. They lived in the simplest of rooms alongside
the staff. Personal comforts and conveniences were all but
forgotten in their zeal to finish the work God had given them to
do and in their loving concern for their co-workers.
