Career
Hoskins joined Book of Hope (now OneHope) in 1989 and was appointed president in 2004. He has introduced a number of other mediums in addition to books, including online games, film, mobile apps, and trading cards.
Research
In 2007, Hoskins was instrumental in launching a 44-country research initiative named Spiritual State of the World’s Children, so that OneHope could learn more about the unique needs, experiences and social traditions of children and youth around the world, including the United States.
Over the course of 4 years, more than 152,000 13- to 19-year-olds on 5 continents answered questions about their life. The research was collected by the Metadigm Group; the analysis was completed by Elite research in 2011. The research findings enable OneHope to customize its Scripture programs to address the specific needs of young people in different communities.
Hoskins decided to make the research available for free so that other organizations may benefit from its findings.
Recognition
In 2005, Hoskins was given the John Maxwell Leadership Award.
