Charles Moore and family

1969 Costa Rica

Charles Moore helped to start the CSC ministry in 1969. He is an ordained minister. He worked as a missionary to Costa Rica for eight years. He was general director of CSC for twelve years.

Upon graduating from college, he served in the Army and then was a successful businessman. During this time he was looking for a sense of fulfillment. Charles and his wife Judy were then led to leave their successful business interests and move to Ft Worth, Texas to enroll in seminary. After that, they moved to San Jose, Costa Rica, sleeping on the floor for more than two months. They lived for seven weeks without a stove or a refrigerator. They were very happy and at peace because they were in the center of God's will for their lives.

During this period they had three small children and shortly thereafter a fourth child was born. Charles was arrested and thrown in jail for preaching on the streets of the capital city.
They rented a building in the middle of that country's red light district. Within a block and a half radius of their "Upper Room" there were 113 houses of prostitution and more than 100 licensed prostitutes between the ages of 8 and 14. More than 30,000 people walked in front of this building each day. The ministry of Christians Sharing Christ to the worlds "down and outs" began in this evangelistic center.

In the first two years of their ministry in Costa Rica, they saw more than 5,000 professions of faith. When they left Costa Rica 7 years later for El Salvador there were less than 20 houses of prostitution in the same area. Then Costa Rican President, Jose Figueres and his wife recognized the Moores' ministry to their country by inviting them to a special dinner at their home.

God burdened the Moores’ hearts for the people in all the market places of the world. Subsequently they moved to San Salvador, El Salvador and began an identical work in that countries marketplace. The Moores worked with CSC for 12 years.

After Charles Moore, Hector Slaughter was the next President and Administrator of CSC for about 20 years.
