Since 197102 Who is Brian
After a dramatic conversion in 1971, Brian and his wife Candice left everything behind to become missionaries in the tropical rainforests of Central America — planting churches and translating the New Testament for the Paya-Kuna people.
Decades later, that jungle-forged passion became his greatest assignment: The Passion Translation — a fresh, heart-level rendering of Scripture now read by millions in over fifty languages.
03 His Life’s Work
A heart-level translation using Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts to express God’s fiery heart of love — merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God’s Word for a new generation.
Brian is currently translating the Old Testament, with recent releases including Genesis: Firstfruits and Isaiah: The Vision.
