About Me!
Heyyy!!! My name is Nina Moore!
Before I am ANYTHING else, I am a believer and follower of Jesus Christ!
I grew up in Shaker Heights, OH (a Cleveland suburb). I have a Civil Engineering degree from THE Ohio State University. For the past four years, I have worked as both an Engineer & Superintendent for Turner Construction and have built Data Centers and an EV Battery Plant!
This past spring I was ordained as a Minister at Hope City Church. Which is an honor I never could’ve imagined that I would have.
I love serving at Hope City in the prayer room on Friday Nights and with the Middle School girls of Young City!
I love spending time outdoors! Whether it’s hiking, days on my kayak or running and biking through the streets of Columbus!
The Call
Wednesday July 23rd, 2025
The LORD put it on my heart to take a HUGE leap of faith and participate in the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Columbus’ Full Time Discipleship Training School (DTS).
Thursday July 24th, 2025
I spent the whole day wrestling with God about how impractical this program would be. I spent most of the day pouring my heart out to Him, expressing all my concerns, fears and being honest about where I lacked faith to step into this journey. By the end of the day, I was extremely convicted about how worldly all my concerns were, and had to repent.
I then asked the Lord for my fears and cares of this life to be removed as I surrendered AND for Him to give me a specific sign within a week.
Friday July 25th, 2025
He then confirmed His desire for me to participate in the program by answering my very specific request less than 24 hours later.
Saturday July 26th, 2025
I submitted my application to the DTS after looking up and down to find my passport.
Sunday July 27th, 2025
After a powerful church service, I received prayer at the alter from my friend and a Pastor at the church who prayed that all fear out leave. The LORD then showed me I was scared to tell my parents. I laid all my fears about telling my family at the altar and the LORD took them! After church I told my parents with no fear!
Monday July 28th, 2025
I put in my request for early move out of my apartment (that I only moved into in March). It was the LAST day I could request move-out without getting charged even more in fees, since it required a 60-day notice.
Andddd … my 26th birthday!!
Tuesday July 29th, 2025
I told my job about what the LORD was calling me to and some of my bosses suggested and supported me in taking a 6-month leave, so I could keep my benefits and have the opportunity to return my job after!
Their support was so appreciated especially because when the training starts, I will be leaving right before we apply for very important Occupancy Certificates and I run the Fire Alarm scope, which is very important for occupancy.
My Why?
My heart for nations was birthed at a young age. My parents took my sister and me as many places as they could internationally. Going to the Dominican Republic when I was 12 marked me for the rest of my life. Seeing the need of the people there, birthed a desire to serve the nations (this predates my relationship with Jesus). My love for the world only grew as I got older!
On January 5th, 2020, I felt the weight of my sin, that separated me from God, for the first time in my life. In the back of Hope City Church during worship, I asked God to “remove the wall” that separated me from Him, and in an instant, I felt the light of the Lord entering my heart as the wall crumbled. The Holy Spirit immediately began changing my desires, my thoughts, my actions, and I became a new creation. After surrendering my life to Jesus I began to have the desire to build places where the Spirit dwells in different nations around the world.
My why… the answer is simple … Because Jesus is Worthy of EVERY NATION, TRIBE, TONGUE AND PEOPLE singing His praise. The Gospel is not for Americans or any other specific demographic. The Gospel is good news for the whole world.
Living in America, it can be easy to forget that around the globe, it is illegal to preach the Gospel and in some places, the Name of Jesus can even get you killed. Jesus is WORTHY of their yes and voice as well!
He is worthy of my whole life, my whole being, and my whole career.
So when the LORD called me to this missionary journey my answer is the same as the Prophet Isaiah’s, “Here I am. Send me” (Is. 6:8).
