Rev. Dr. Gary S. Hooper

Gary was born in Sydney, Australia but spent most of his life in rural Australia. Gary is a husband, father and grandfather. He has been a farmer, small business owner, freelance journalist, computer technician, evangelist, bible teacher, pastor, counsellor and international speaker.

Rev. Dr. Gary S. Hooper accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord in May 1985 after spending nine years in sorcery. From 1982-1985, Gary was considered one of the most powerful sorcerers in Australia. He came to the Lord after an encounter with God on a lonely beach at Yeppoon, Queensland which left him knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God was real and that Jesus Christ is Lord. Five months after he accepted Jesus Christ, Gary was asked to become a scripture teacher in three local high schools which he did for four years. This gave him a unique aspect of ministry as well as requiring him to study the bible in depth. By 1991 Gary had read the bible from cover to cover over thirty times and found that he had a gift for teaching. Because of his past, Gary was considered a leading authority on the dangers of the occult and had even warned the church in Australia about the coming New Age Movement. He was often asked to teach on the dangers of the occult to groups such as local youth groups, Scripture Union, YWAM, Teen Challenge Australia, Baptist Youth and the FGBMFI.

In 1990 Gary was asked by the Albury/Wodonga chapter of the FGBMFI to teach Christians how to engage in biblical Spiritual Warfare. Since Gary was living at The Rock in NSW he formed “The Rock Ministries” and travelled throughout southern N.S.W and northern Victoria teaching Christians about their God-given authority.

After the breakdown of his first marriage Gary moved to Queensland where he became a freelance computer journalist and then to Perth where he was a consultant on the Y2K problem. Whilst in Perth Gary met Wendy and, as they say, the rest is history. Gary and Wendy married in December 1998. Between them they have 7 grown children, 1 foster daughter and 2 grandchildren.

Gary has earned his Bachelor of Science Counselling, Master of Science Theology, Master of Science Counselling, and Doctor of Divinity degrees. In 2001 Gary was awarded three honorary degrees recognising sixteen years of ministry.

Gary and Wendy divide their time between the USA and Australia. Gary is a sought after speaker throughout the world; he is known for his prophetic insight, plain speech and heart for souls.

Gary’s book “Spiritual Warfare: Win or Lose You Choose” is now available from your local Christian bookstore, Amazon.com, xulonpress.com, or directly from Restoration International Ministries, Inc.

Wendy Hooper

Wendy came to the Lord in 1991. Wendy is a wife, mother and grandmother. She has been a small business owner, counsellor, women’s conference speaker and accountant.

Wendy is the vice president and co-founder of Restoration International Ministries, Inc. Gary says that “Wendy balances me out; she is my voice of reason when I get too carried away.”

She says since being married to Gary she “has never had a dull moment.” Wendy has a servant’s heart and desires to see women walking in their gifting and callings. Wendy desires to see “at risk” teens come to a knowledge of who Jesus is and what He did for them.
