I can’t remember the first time I heard Donnie speak, I know I was in elementary school and I know I was transfixed by his stories about Jesus. I wanted in on the stories! I wanted Jesus like that! He was my favorite communicator throughout my childhood and into my young adult life. Donnie came to camps and ministry events hosted by my parents & others in Oregon. In each season of my life, God used him powerfully. He brought me autographed baseball cards on his trips to do ministry with my parents, he prayed for me to be filled with the Holy Spirit, he never ceased to be an giant encouragement, a powerful voice in any wayward moments, the love of God embodied to the lost and an unashamed message of redemption. Thank you Donnie for being used to change me life! Thank you to your family for sharing you with a generation!

We were first with Donnie and his team early on in Califirnia. He had just met us and did not know anything about our lives. Donnie, one evening during a prayer time at the camp, called my husband to the front and proceeded to tell him that we were having trouble bearing children and God was going to show us why. Within a year, God placed two chosen girls in our home…one was three…the other a new born. Litte did we know that God had these two daughters waiting for us! The word from God through Donnie gave ys hope! They are now young adults with familes of their own. A few months ago Donnie called and one of the first things he asked about were the girls….
He was a true servant of the Spirit and a Champion for God!!
Blessings and comfort to you all

Hi! In 1989 I Had a baby at 19! Soon after I met Donnie at a College Career Breakaway in Oregon Assembly of God Camp! He shared about my Testimony he had heard on the airplane while on his way to Oregon! He was a big encouragement! He also shared some testimony about his wife and his heir dreams of having a baby! I see you had that three times over! I am Praying for you and although so hard to hear, He has definitely heard the most coveted words the World could ever hear! @Well Done , my Good and Faithful Servant!

I met Donnie and Cindy in 2011 through the Oakland A’s organization. It was a season of change for me…it was a new team and I was soon to be a new mom. Donnie and Cindy welcomed me with open arms and provided strength, friendship, wisdom, courage, guidance, and love over the next 3 yrs. I will never forget and will always cherish our barbecue at your house, the night we crushed burgers, and the night you came to our rental house and did your best to shed light on a negative situation (it took a while but I’ve closed the door).
Thank you Donnie for letting me participate in Faith Day at the Ballpark. For teaching me how to rip a phone book in front of a crowd!
Thank you Donnie for my most cherish Easter Sunday. For welcoming my family to share that beautiful sunrise service with you and your beautiful family up on the hill with nothing but the CROSS and ALL of HIS glory.
Thank you Donnie for sharing your beautiful family with mine. Cindy, there are no words I can share to comfort you…and that makes me sad because you comforted me at all times during my darkest days. You are an angel from heaven.
Thank you Donnie for being a father figure to me. For being a man of faith to me and Grant. I’m gonna hit the weights hard just like “Donnie Freaking Moore” would do. ❤
I love you Donnie and am forever grateful.
Love Always,

When I was planning on going on my missionary trip to Cambodia last year, I felt like a lot of people didn’t think I was ready for the journey I was about to take. Donnie came up to me after service and told me God gave me that calling for a reason and prayed with me. He gave me confidence in my relationship with Christ and with the journey I was about to make.

I thank God for Donnie and Chi Alpha ministries. As well as Radical Reality. I was saved as a result of the ministry at Delta college. I would pass by the book table and I went to jail. I surrendered myself to Christ. I enjoyed going to Easter camp , and remember on in particular. This means war theme. I sometimes would do special music by doing sign language. Thanks Donnie for be the conduit for being Gods instrumental in encouraging and leading many to Christ.

I am 44 years old. I have known Donnie since His first camp. He took the time to come and talk to me in the midst of hundreds of kids at a busy camp to encourage me and speak into who I was as a beloved child of God and who God had called me to be. He saw who I would become. I was a shy insecure 12 year old. I have been a camper, a counselor and program staff at His camps. Every time I saw Him whether it was camp, a church, etc even up until last summer -He knew my name. People would tell me that He was asking if I was coming out to see Him and say hello or if I had seen Donnie because He was asking about me. I have always remembered that out of the thousands of people He ministered too He knew me by name and His, “Good to see you buddy!” Was always genuine. He would make it a point to find me, give me that smile and a hug. Love you Donnie!

Donnie was sharing a message at Lighthouse church in Sonoma back in 2015 and at the end of his message he asked for anyone who needed a miracle to come forward. My husband and I have been trying to a baby with no success so I stepped forward asking for a miracle. Donnie found his way to me in the crowd and prayed for me. A few days later I found out I was pregnant and my husband and I were so thrilled and we knew this was the miracle we had prayed/ asked for during service. Our daughter was born July 21,2016 and we had the pleasure of introducing her to Donnie on Mother’s Day in 2017. Growing up in church I have met Donnie many times but having him pray for me was the first time ever and our family will never forget it. He was such an amazing person and he definitely let an imprint on our lives. Sean & Lan Farrell
Live well. Laugh often. Love much.
And always keep the faith.

Praying for you all! I first saw/met Donnie at Harvest church 29yrs ago, I was 10yrs old little girl lost and hurting. I walked up to the front for prayer for my back, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and was in a bulky back brace. My deformed little body ached with every move. I knelt down not even knowing why I walked up to the front. But something Donnie said impacted me greatly. As I was looking down at the floor I felt a giant hand touch my back and all of a sudden I felt God presence for the very first time. I don’t even know how long Donnie prayed for me but afterwards my back began to hurt differently. I asked my mom when we got home if I could remove my brace and sleep with out it. The next morning was our appointment with the specialist to prepare for my surgery. So x-rays were needed. I felt like we waited hours for the doctors to return with our plan. They all walked in the room holding my x-rays and with a strange look. They turned on the light and held up my x-rays and then began to say, we don’t know how this even happened but Tara back went from a 25 degree to only 3!!! Medically she doesn’t have scoliosis anymore!!! My mom burst into tears and I was in shock!! I yelled..JESUS HEALED ME!! HE IS REAL!!! And from that moment on, I have followed Him with everything!! Jesus used Donnie to touch many lives!! I am so thankful today that Jesus used Him to hear a small little girl request which was To know He is real and He hears our prayers! He also taught me to “ask big” and to have the faith to know He does hear us. Last year I watched the same God who heard my cry and healed my back, He heard my daughter cry and healed her back from scoliosis too!! My faith was birthed the night Donnie prayed for me!! And 29 yrs later I still have the same Faith in Our God, our Father who is a Good, GOOD FATHER!!! Again, THANKYOU for sharing your dad/husband with us all, Jesus used His son to touch so many!! And this daughter will be forever grateful!!!
Praying for you all,
Tara Stewart.
