BRIAN HOGAN is a veteran missions mobilizer, speaker, and trainer whose work focuses on multiplying indigenous church movements among the world's unreached people groups. Known for a dramatic and humorous storytelling style, he draws on over three decades of front-line experience, most notably the pioneering journey that led to the birth of a Disciple Making Movement in Erdenet, Mongolia.
Brian has just released his first fiction title: Tom and Huck, the Rest of their Story. This picks up 10 years after Twain's boyhood adventures and reunites the two friends as young me in the troubled United States of 1855. Their ensuing adventures take them from the Mississippi River and Hannibal, MO, to the Isthmus of Panama and the gold fields of Mariposa, CA.
His writing explores the intersection of radical trust in the Holy Spirit and raw human emotion, capturing the "joys and pathos, laughter and tears" of life on the mission field. Hogan’s central topics include the radical simplification of church structures—advocating for a "seed" rather than a "potted palm" approach—and gripping accounts of resilience in the face of extreme personal loss and narrow escapes from death.
Beyond his landmark book, There’s a Sheep in my Bathtub, he has authored diverse works ranging from historical narratives of young lives in Boy Centurions to his personal "extravaganza of Divine rescues" in An A to Z of Near-Death Adventures. Hogan’s style is marked by honesty and a "miserable enthusiast" optimism, always seeking to empower ordinary believers to join God's "epic mandate".
Brian earned his Master's in Intercultural Studies/Ministry from Hope International University (Fullerton, CA) specializing in World Christian Foundations. He is a sought after speaker, trainer and coach. Brian serves full time with Church Planting Coaches, a global ministry of Youth With A Mission. He serves YWAM on the Frontier Mission Leadership Team. He enjoys being a catalyst, hanging out, reading books, traveling and trying anything new, novel, and different.
Brian has participated in, led, and started organic expressions of Jesus' Body in the USA, Malta, and Mongolia both inside and outside the traditional wineskin. He coaches those involved in these movements on five continents, especially focusing on where the church isn't.
He is the author of "Distant Thunder: Mongols Follow the Khan of Khans" which is featured as a case study in Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: a Reader (2014; Wm. Carey Library).
Hogan and his wife, Louise, now live in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, where he continues to coach church planting teams across five continents.
