Cory and Angela Hogan are Oklahoma natives and have served in Guanajuato, Mexico, since 2014. 

Angela began working in Mexico as a single missionary in 2005 after answering a challenge through her Chi Alpha group to “give a year in missions and pray a lifetime.” That year became four years and eventually a long-term call. 

After moving from the panhandle of Oklahoma, Cory went to school in Chickasha for the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. After five years of teaching, God called him to missions as well. 

Cory and Angela met in a local small group Bible study while Angela was home for a year of fundraising and connecting with supporters. They were married in 2013. After a year of language school in Costa Rica, they arrived in Mexico and began to fulfill the call God placed on them to reach the university students of Mexico. In their spare time, you will probably find Cory honing his archery skills and Angela with a crochet hook in her hands (both hobbies have now been translated to reach more students). They also love to try new taco shops and enjoy the beautiful city they live in, Guanajuato.

Guanajuato is a city of approximately 250,000 people and roughly 20,000 university students. Over the last few years, God has allowed the Hogans to open a space called the “Student Center.” Through this free service to students, relationships are built, conversations about Jesus had, and lives are transformed as discipleship occurs. The Hogans serve as the area coordinators for university ministry throughout Mexico. In this role, they help support other campus groups, equipping leaders, and casting vision for a broader campus ministry movement. The couple also loves serving in their local church, hosting short-term mission teams, and facilitating small groups. 

Cory and Angela shared that God has continued to open new doors for ministry. As they teach in this traditionally hard-to-evangelize region in Mexico, they see many hearts continue to move toward Jesus. They also see the Holy Spirit cultivating a heart for missions in these future leaders. The Hogans ask Christian Chapel to join their prayers that the university ministry will spread throughout the central part of Mexico and beyond and that pastors and churches will capture the vision for reaching students to know and love Jesus Christ.
