Dr. Dick Brogden was born and raised in Kenya. His perspective on life, death, salvation and service is different because of the things he experienced growing up there, in a missionary family, rather than here, in the comfort, safety and abundance of middle-class America.

As a child, he developed a faith that works and a passion for sharing his faith with people who are without — the poor; the oppressed; the hopeless; the lost. That faith is his life, and it drove him to found the Live Dead movement, reflecting the deepest level of spiritual commitment.

Live Dead is an initiative that focuses on planting churches among unreached people groups through multi-national teams. More than 40 percent of the world doesn’t have access to the gospel, according to the Live Dead research. Of the world’s 16,448 people groups, more than 7,000 are unreached — not a single church, Christian or Christian witness is known to exist.

Brogden currently lives in Cairo, Egypt, with his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, Luke and Zack. They oversee both the Cairo Training Team and the Live Dead Arab World program, as Assemblies of God World Missionaries.
