Rev. Dr. Woody Woodward is a native Texan, born on Lackland Air Force Base hospital where his Dad served during the Korean War. Dr. Woody joined Crusade staff after college and served in campus ministry, then India and the Philippines, and finally in music ministry. Sensing the need for deeper training, he enrolled at Dallas Theological Seminary. Woody regards his three years at DTS as a golden period of preparation. He relished in his studies so much that he was tapped on the shoulder to assist professors in grading and teaching courses in Greek exegesis and preaching. Seminary for some becomes a cemetery, but God abundantly blessed him during this period. He never ceaseed growing in ministry. He completed his Doctor of Ministry degree in preaching at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, studying under Dr. Haddon Robinson whose approach to preaching is known for its great relevance, clarity, interest, and commitment to the Bible. Woody has served churches small (30) and large (1200), rural and suburban, from Iowa to Texas to California to New Jersey. Every church he have pastored, save one, has grown significantly. He has experienced the agony and the ecstasy of ministry and still have a fire in his bones to make local churches effective and healthy. For over a decade, he has had a special passion for teaching preachers and teachers, especially in the countries of Romania, Czech Republic, Sweden, and Finland.
