parents of three wonderful daughters:
::

Aileen Rabago was the second
Filipina daughter to come into their home. A lovely person and
a very talented artist, she was graduated from Central Baptist
College in Conway, Arkansas. She married John Moore, an electrical
engineer, and became the mother of John Elbert Moore, IV. The
Lord called her home March 9, 2001. She is deeply missed.

Bro.
Doyle received his B.A. in Bible from Central Baptist College,
Conway, Arkansas and Masters in Education with Emphasis in Educational
Management from West Negros University, Bacolod City, Negros
Occidental, Philippines.
Doyle
was saved after the first sermon his youngest brother, Travis,
preached August 28, 1966. He surrendered to the ministry in
1967, and to the mission field in 1975-76 (a New Year's Eve
service). They were elected in April 1976, and arrived in Bacolod
City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, September 1, 1976.
The
Lord led Doyle to the Philippines to start a Bible college.
The Baptist Missionary Association Bible College is the result
of that effort. He is still President of the Bible College,
as well as the Coordinator of Church Planter Training, and BMAP
Publications Director.
Please
put Doyle & Linda Moore on your prayer list at church, as
prayer is our greatest need at all times.
