Lady
In The Hood is the story of one woman’s journey from
the privileged life of a New York debutante to the establishment of an
inner-city mission in a drug and gang infested East Dallas neighborhood.
Born
into a family of wealth and social prominence, Dorothy Moore was raised with
all the trappings of the East Coast elite: a nanny, private schools and
European vacations.
Dorothy
eventually found a dynamic personal relationship with Christ that forever
transformed her “elite” attitudes into those of a true servant, and
led to the establishment of a ministry that has impacted hundreds of lives.
See
how one “lady” obeyed Christ, crossing social, economic, racial and
gender barriers to reach out to “the hood”—a once forgotten
corner of urban blight that is now touched by the hope of transformation that
comes from a great God!
“Dorothy Moore is a
dramatic extension of what happens when a person with a ‘good
heart,’ sharp mind and track record of achievement yields to an even
greater ‘heart’!
Her story speaks of the
possibilities and potential in any environment when the
‘well-heeled’ give themselves to see others well-healed.”
Jack
W. Hayford
President,
The Foursquare Church
“No finer example will
any reader find than this account of Dorothy Moore’s personal story. You will be recommending it to your
family and friends.”

Chairman of the Board Emeritus

For The Nations, Inc. Dallas, Texas
“Because of Dorothy,
hundreds of homeless people in Dallas have a roof over their heads, a meal on
the table, and the love of a caring neighbor in their hearts. She has mastered the skill of nourishing
both body and soul with her understanding and dedication.”

Dorothy Moore’s dynamic
teaching ministry has touched countless lives at home and abroad, reflecting
God’s heart to see His children walk in complete spiritual, emotional and
physical healing and marked by a strong emphasis on reconciliation between
people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures.
In 1987, Dorothy founded
Reconciliation Outreach, an inner city life rehabilitation program providing a
safe haven for the
homeless
and needy in East Dallas.
An ordained minister, Dorothy
holds a B.S. degree in Christian Counseling and has received awards from
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (1999) and Serita Jakes and The Potter’s
House (2005). She has appeared on
TBN, several local television and radio programs, and been featured in numerous
publications including a cover article in Charisma Magazine.
Dorothy and her husband, Bob,
reside in Denton, Texas, and are the parents of four adult children and three
grandchildren.
