The matter of textbooks posed an interesting challenge. Initially only one text was purchased for a class of 25 ministers. Recognizing the need for students to have access to the material in the text, Moore enlisted the help of Nazarene Publishing House (NPH) to provide 25 copies of the text in Spanish. A couple of telephone calls and less than 24 hours later, Moore was in possession of a large box of books. Moore quickly packed a second suitcase full of books and boarded an airplane for South America the next morning.

Meeting the class for the first time, Moore distributed the texts, noting to each student that the textbooks were on loan to them for the length of the course. As the week neared its end, Moore announced to the class that they could keep the textbooks as a gift. The response was totally unexpected by Moore. With tears streaming down their faces, each student expressed disbelief that they would be given a textbook as a gift.

More poignantly, several of the students were able to raise only enough money for one-way bus fare and for class tuition. They went without food for three days before anyone discovered the extent of their sacrifice. When their plight was discovered, local church leaders provided free meals and bus fare for the return trip. As Moore related this story to the Beacon Hill Press Committee of NPH, it was learned that his mother underwrote the costs of the texts as an act of personal stewardship. Hardy Weathers stated, “NPH is always ready to find ways to help equip both clergy and laity, even if that means expediting our services."
