About Hope Ministries
Jody Jenkins & Family
Jody Jenkins is a born-again child of God who began preaching the Word of God in junior high school. He was an all-state athlete in high school, and played one year of college baseball on a full scholarship from ETSU.
He answered God’s call to preach the Gospel in 1996, and followed the Lord in preparation for the ministry through Bible college with an earned doctorate degree in Theology. While in Bible college, Jody met his wife Becky. They were married in 2000, and God has blessed them with four children.
Jody has been involved in full-time local church ministry since the year 2000, with nearly ten of those years including the position of Senior Pastor. Jody has had opportunity to travel extensively, preaching in local church revivals, youth revivals, camps, Christian and public schools, Christian colleges, special meetings, banquets, prisons, marriage conferences, and foreign mission fields.
Helping the Broken
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
PSALM 34:18
We live in a world full of broken people. Knowing what God brought us through in a time of deep, dark brokenness, it is our desire to give HOPE to others going through hard times. Through preaching, counseling, retreats and resources we are in a position, by experience, to help broken people.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." ~ Psalm 51:17
Outreaching Locally & Globally
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
ACTS 1:8
The Lord Jesus made it clear that He desires for the Gospel to be given to every individual. It is our desire see churches, locally and around the world, get the Gospel to every home, hand and heart in their area. We can help with this through preaching, training and resources.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth..."
~ Romans 1:16
Preaching God's Word
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
2 TIMOTHY 4:2
Through the website and taking meetings as God opens the door, we emphasize the preaching of God’s Word. Nothing is to take the place of the preaching of God’s Word. We are available to preach in multiple venues such as: local church revivals, youth events, camps, Christian and Public schools, colleges, banquets, prisons, special meetings, marriage conferences, mission fields, multiple training retreats/conferences, FCA events, etc.
"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." ~ 1 Corinthians 1:21
Equipping God's People
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 TIMOTHY 2:2
It is our desire to “teach others also” and help equip them to be all God wants them to be. We plan to do this through offering resources on the website and holding retreats and rallies for a variety of groups and topics.
