SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY
As Adore missionaries go out into the margins, we continue to be struck by the Father's desire to move in the communities we serve. Please consider making a contribution to help us continue to serve boldly.
HOW WE DO IT
Part of the goal and work of the spiritual life is orienting both our ordinary and extraordinary moments towards Christ. We believe that God stands ready to meet us as much in the side conversation or washing the dishes as He does in a conference or retreat. As missionaries, we strive to foster moments of encounter with God in the ordinary and extraordinary through three primary endeavors- moments, movement, and mission.
Our missionaries foster moments of encounter with God by traveling and preaching both locally and nationally in order to draw people into knowing who God is on a more intimate level. This includes ongoing missionary preaching, worship nights, catechesis, and events that Adore provides at each of our parish missions.
Adore works to foster intentional community through the “Family Dinner movement”. This movement is built upon fostering an evangelistic community in which brotherly and neighborly love can be lived out in an authentic way in intentional community. Many of us do not know our neighbors, and the Family Dinner movement is working to break down those walls.
We serve parishes and neighborhoods in need of quality evangelization and work to meet the individual needs of the communities we serve. We find our entry into these communities by partnering with local Catholic Churches in need, mainly working with middle and high school youth, developing relationships and trust with families in the process.

WHY WE DO IT
We are all called to mission by our baptism, and each of us have a unique call to mission and burden on our hearts- where our deepest desire and a need of the world intersect. As missionaries with Adore Ministries, we strive to have the eyes to see the needs around us, the heart to perceive the desires of the Father, and the hands and feet to respond. We know that it is in pursuing our unique call to mission that the Father will bring forth freedom and authentic worship.
"I thought I wanted to do international mission work, until I realized my own neighbors and communities were experiencing an even greater poverty- the poverty of being unseen and unloved. I feel called to mission because I have a deep desire to make people feel seen and known and loved. Being a missionary with Adore allows me to be fully alive, to love God more deeply, and to serve Him and let myself be served by Him in the community I work with."
- Madison Williams
"I feel called to mission because everything that has happened directly and indirectly in my life
has led me to this point. It is also the last thing I would have expected or chosen to do. But as soon as I started doing it, it just made sense. The veil has been removed and I've been able to see all the ways God has been preparing me for mission."
- Gordon Moore
"In serving with Adore, I am challenged with the gift of recognizing the face of Jesus in each person I encounter, including when I look in the mirror. I am challenged with the gift of journeying with those whose sufferings are hidden, so that I might see the glory and goodness of God through the healing and joy that radiates out of that.
I am invited to experience the everlasting joy it is to live a life totally abandoned to Christ.
I am invited to meet Jesus in the people I get to journey alongside."
- Lizzie Moore
IMPACT
Our impact is measured primarily through the quality of conversion, the depth of a brother or sister knowing, loving, and serving our Lord, versus the quantity of people served. We are humbled and grateful for each person the Holy Spirit has called us to accompany and be accompanied by.
