Amy Wood-Roper M.A.
Hi! I’m Amy. I love sipping coffee on the porch, traveling with my husband, and hiking with my dog. In my free time, I enjoy leading online Bible studies, researching, being outdoors, and studying God's Word.
I have been a Christian and a student of the Bible for over 35 years, and have been discipling, teaching, and counseling people for over 20 years.
Professionally, I have received my Bachelor's of Science Degree and Master's Degree in Education with Specialization in Teaching and Learning. I am a 23-year veteran teacher, coach, counselor, and mentor to the younger generation and adults.
For the past 15 years, I have taught Bible studies both online and in churches across the world. I have years of experience in crisis training (suicide, depression, addiction etc.) from several churches in CA. I also enjoy speaking at women’s retreats across the country.
But overall, my calling is from the Lord, which I believe supersedes anything a university or other experience could give me.

psalm 25:4
Throughout my adult life, I have been on mission trips and in ministry all over the world, to engage with children and adults and spread the love of God. I have been blessed with the opportunity to counsel and share the Bible, to a variety of people and cultures, traveling all over the USA and to England, Norway, Spain, France, Greece, Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize, Aruba, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, British and Virgin Islands, and Haiti.
I participated in ministries in Los Angeles, CA (skid row) with several different missions and churches, for over 15 years. I counseled and worked with individuals and families that were struggling to get their lives together, stay clean, and learn about God. Working in the trenches with people, enabled me to really see how God can work in people’s lives, give them hope, and change them forever. I also spent over 25 years working with children, teens, and young adults to help them overcome challenges such as divorced homes, identity issues, addiction and more.
I also believe my personal experience overcoming struggles with alcohol, eating issues, marriage challenges, depression and anxiety - has given me insight to those struggling with the same challenges. Having the tools to overcome all of those issues throughout the years, taught me that it can only be done with the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. But once we know the truth - the truth will set us free!

I am grateful to be able to serve you and to be a part of the journey God has for you. I look forward to playing a role in your spiritual growth, progress, and hope.
