About Us
Hope of the Nations Home Ministry is a home-based ministry run by us, Allan and Susan Woodward. My wife and I have been involved in teaching Bible studies, evangelism, and nursing home ministry. We wanted a website where we could post Bible teaching videos, and share various inspirations from the Bible (the Word of God). We have three children, a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter. God has blessed us in many ways in family, ministry, church groups and His promises in the Bible.
It was back in 1975 that I had a personal encounter with Jesus and was "born-again". I had heard about Jesus when I was young, but never realized it was not about knowing about Him that mattered, but actually knowing Him. After high school, I decided to go my own way and live my life the way I wanted to at the time. In 1974 or 1975, I met someone who actually had a personal relationship with Jesus. I still had doubts about God and Jesus, so I began to read books even one by an atheist, other books, and the Bible to search out the truth. I realized that the Bible was true and that there were many prophesies that have come true, not just about Jesus, but also about events that have taken place over the years, even in current times. At that time, I realized that it was not a matter of being good enough or better than others. It was also not a matter of religion or going to church, but a matter of having a personal relationship with God through Jesus. I decided to receive Jesus and my Lord and Savior in the Spring of 1975. He's only given me peace within, forgiveness of all my sins, eternal life, but also hope for the future.
Jesus said in Matthew 10:8b NKJV, “Freely you have received, freely give.” We want to be able to give to others so that everyone may "know the love of Christ that passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:19 NKJV). Even though I've had this on my heart for several years, I just got around to building this website. If you sense the Lord wants you to do something, you should do it. This website is still in process, but I pray that everyone will be encouraged in faith and realize the blessings available in Jesus Christ and in having a personal relationship with Him and God the Father.

Our Mission
Hope of the Nations Home Ministries is a Bible believing faith and prayer ministry. We give God the glory, and praise, and honor for this ministry and website, as well as any good thing that comes out of it.
Our goals are to:
1) Teach the Bible (the Word of God) and minister to others in faith and prayer. Our Biblical basis for this is: Hebrews 4:12 NKJV- “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
a) Hebrews 11:6 NKJV- “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
b) Prayer: James 5:16 NKJV- “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
2) See the Power of God Demonstrated:
a) We believe in the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16), that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead for our sins and gives eternal life to all who want it
b) Also, we want to see the power of God demonstrated in changing people's lives, and having them transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2).
c) Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
d) We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and want to see the kingdom of God demonstrated here on the earth whenever possible (Mark 16:17-18).
