“The plan includes downsizing Living Proof Ministries in June 2027 to minimal staff and minimal office space so that, turning 70, I’ll have less responsibility overseeing a very busy ministry,” said Moore, “and the gift of more time to do the things I feel most called to do: to speak and to teach and to write.”
She said the plan “may sound like retirement,” but in fact, “unless the Lord wills it, it’s meant to actually delay retirement, making the best use of my remaining energies of the last chapter of ministry.” Moore will no longer schedule speaking engagements through her ministry but still plans to take them by invitation.

“This is a good thing, a very good thing, but it is such a painful thing,” she said. “I lack the words and, to be honest, the composure to tell you how much I love these people and what they mean to me.” The final Living Proof Live events are at the following times and places, with the first two being sold out already and the Seattle event having limited tickets left:
- April 23-24: Asheville, North Carolina
- April 24-25: Asheville, North Carolina
- July 25-Aug. 1: Alaska Cruise
- Sept. 25-26: Des Moines, Iowa
- Oct. 23-24: New England
- Nov. 13-14: Seattle
- April 9-10, 2027: Nashville, Tennessee
“This will be, as they say, our swan song, our countdown to wrap-up,” said Moore.
“I give you my word that we will give you God’s Word. Our whole Living Proof Live team and I will pray hard, we will prepare hard, and we will give you everything we’ve got,” Moore said, “asking God to so powerfully speak through Scripture and lavishly pour his Spirit out on us that people are reborn, lives transformed, and captives set free.” Their aim will be “that we’d all go forth and make a difference in this hurting world, living proof that Jesus saves.”
Below her YouTube video, Moore reiterated some of what she said in the video and emphasized that the transition plan has been in place for some time and is not the result of a crisis.
“These kinds of things are not easy, but they’re right and good,” she said. “I’m not having any health problems. No crises within the ministry. I work with the most wonderful people on earth. I adore them. I love what I get to do and hope to keep serving Jesus to my last breath.”
“This is about one thing: with age comes change and the need for less responsibility,” said Moore. “And change isn’t bad! It’s just an adjustment.”
In her announcement that was posted to X, Moore noted, “It is crucial that we make this transition not only for me in my aging but for [my ministry teams] in their own vocations so they are set free with my blessing to pursue their next chapters.”
Some ministry news I wish to share. These are very normal things. And, in this case, concerns a plan that’s been in place for several years. We just didn’t want a 3-year farewell. Lol. That would be a bit much.
The letter I wrote beneath the video on YouTube will also help…
