Dr. George O. Wood's life's work is all about getting people back to the Bible – back to real relationship with Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. While the methods change over the years, the message stays the same. To help him keep that perspective at the forefront, Wood keeps his father's antique typewriter next to his keyboard.
"I learned to type on that typewriter, and I keep it next to my computer to remind me how important it is to change," Wood said. "When things are changing you've got to change as well – if we stayed with the typewriter where would be today?"
It's that approach – clear-headed thinking, common sense and reliance on the Holy Spirit – that Wood relies on for success in ministry. With one hand pulling from the rich history of the Assemblies of God and one hand reaching to the future of the movement, Wood's vision as CEO of the Assemblies of God is bringing the church with more than 12,700 congregations and more than 3 million members and adherents in the States into the 21st century.
