Bob Hoskins (born April 15, 1936) is an internationally known evangelist based out of Pompano Beach, Florida. He founded OneHope (formerly Book of Hope International) in 1987, with a mission to provide a message of hope to children and youth through various forms of media. He has spent the majority of his life serving as a missionary, reaching people in countries in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Asia and Europe. Hoskins has devoted over 70 years to various ministries.
Hoskins was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma to Charles and Lucille Hoskins. By the time he was 7, Hoskins launched his evangelism ministry, regularly speaking at tent revivals and Christian crusades in the United States. He dropped out of school that same year to pursue ministry full-time. From that age until the age of eighteen, he traveled throughout the United States in citywide crusades. Due to his travel schedule, he received his education from private tutors who traveled with the evangelistic team.
In 1953, Hoskins traveled to British Guyana. While working with a group of newly baptized believers, Bob launched a salvation and healing crusade that resulted in the conversion of thousands.
At 19, Hoskins met Hazel Crabtree at a church event where he was preaching in Little Rock, Arkansas. Four years later on September 5, 1959, they were married in a ceremony in Sacramento, California before leaving for the mission field.
In 1964, the Hoskins followed a vision to plant churches in the Middle East and North Africa. The ministries they established under the name Middle East Outreach included correspondence courses, radio ministry, a seminary and the organizing of missionary outreach to that area of the world.
