Frank Binford Hole (1874 – January 25, 1964) was a British preacher, evangelist, and author whose ministry within the Plymouth Brethren movement spanned over six decades, focusing on biblical exposition and gospel outreach. Born in Barnes, Surrey, England, to Samuel Hole, a mercantile clerk, and Clara Faulkner, he grew up in a middle-class family near his cousin Hamilton Smith, a fellow Brethren writer. Educated at King’s School (now part of King’s College London), he briefly worked in the family business and banking before dedicating himself to full-time ministry at a young age, driven by a conversion at 16 that marked him as one who “endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” Hole’s preaching career began with tent missions alongside Arthur Cutting in rural England, later extending to the West Indies and South Africa, where he shared the gospel with clarity and illustrative power. Known for his teaching gift, he served as editor of Edification and Scripture Truth magazines, writing commentaries like The Gospels and Acts and Hebrews to Revelation between 1928 and 1947, which influenced figures like Billy Graham. His sermons emphasized joy, peace, and the foundations of faith, delivered at Brethren assemblies and conferences worldwide. Married with family details unrecorded, he worked from Little Britain in London with assistant E.M. Aves for 45 years. Hole died at age 90 in Sutton, Surrey, England.
