        Evangelist Ron Hood accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior as a result of reading the Bible and gospel tracts while in the U. S. Navy in October 1962.  Two years later, after being honorably discharged from the Navy, he enrolled at Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC.  He earned a B.A. at in 1968 and a M.A. in 1971 from BJU.  
        He met  Barbara while serving the Lord at the Newport, Rhode Island Servicemen's Center in the summers of 1967 and 1968.  They were married August 5, 1968.  
        Ron and Barbara served the Lord at Southland Bible Institute in Pikeville, Kentucky from 1971 to 1974.  During that time, Ron traveled and preached frequently promoting the school.  God used that experience to lead him into full-time evangelism.  
        In 1975, Ron and Barbara worked to write and published the book, How to Successfully Memorize and Review Scripture.  God has used that book and the method of scripture memory that Ron developed to strengthen and change the lives of thousands of Christians in the U.S. and several other countries. 
        From 1975 to 1985, the Hood family traveled across the U. S. and had a full schedule of meetings in churches and Christian schools.  The family sang and quoted Scripture in each service.  Ron preached for revival meetings, family-life conferences, and soul-winning conferences.  
        Since 1986, the Hood family's ministry has been primarily in the Caribbean.  They have had special services with music and gospel preaching in 466 public and private schools in Trinidad, Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, and St. Lucia.
        Ron continues to preach in churches and schools in the U. S. regularly.  James has been preaching since 1995, and is also serving the Lord as an evangelist.
