About Scott Hinkle

Scott Hinkle is an evangelist whose life was once headed in one direction—prison and an early grave. In a parking lot encounter, his life was radically transformed when he experienced the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Raised on the Jersey Shore, Scott was a Jewish heroin addict whose life was marked by addiction and brokenness. Today, he carries a direct and radical message that is impacting lives across the nation. He is known for preaching that is practical, challenging, and at times marked by sharp humor—always grounded in the truth of Scripture.

Together with his wife, Nancy, Scott founded Scott Hinkle Outreach Ministries. In 1984, they launched the National Street Ministries Conference (A Passion for Souls)—a grassroots movement that has trained and ministered to thousands of evangelistic workers, leaders, and pastors through the years.

Scott is the author of three books and has written for Charisma Magazine. He has been a church planter, served as a senior pastor, taught evangelism as an adjunct instructor in three Bible colleges, and developed a groundbreaking Bible college training program for evangelism.

In addition to rallies, outreaches, and conferences, Scott and Nancy lead an annual, multifaceted evangelistic outreach during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Their ministry continues to reach across social, generational, and cultural lines, both nationally and internationally. Scott and Nancy have been married for many years and have two children. They are graduates of Christ For The Nations Institute and are ordained ministers. As a family, they were part of Phoenix First Assembly (now Dream City Church) in Phoenix, Arizona, under the leadership of Tommy Barnett.

About Nancy J. Hinkle

Nancy J. Hinkle is a contagiously joy-filled, insightful, and wise speaker and teacher who weaves humor and practical truth throughout her message. A sought-after speaker for women’s conferences, meetings, and retreats, and a contributor to the Women of Destiny Bible, she speaks candidly from a life that has been marked by real battles and real victory.

Nancy openly shares her journey through drug addiction, a battle with cancer, prodigal children, and the healing and restoration of relationships. Her message is not theoretical—it is lived. Just as often as she ministers inside the church, you will find her in the streets, reaching some of the most desperate, fragile, and broken people that many would pass by.

Nancy and her husband, Scott, founded Scott Hinkle Outreach Ministries in 1981 and have spent decades ministering together through outreaches, crusades, and conferences across the United States and internationally. They have served as directors of two Christian rehabilitation homes for drug-addicted women and have ministered on the streets of cities such as New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, and Hollywood. They have also served as church planters.

With a wide range of ministry experience both inside and outside the church, Nancy brings a depth of love, compassion, and understanding to every setting in which she ministers.

Nancy lives in Dallas with her husband, Scott, and treasures her role as a mother and grandmother to her family.

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus--the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
