Martin

Martin was born in a Christian family but tried to live life his own way up until his early teens. “Before my GCSEs, I realised that living life my way had only left me in a hole of my own making, and I was isolated and unhappy. I knew that only God could give me peace ... so I started praying that God would forgive me and help me live his way.”

A few years later, he travelled to the Middle East to teach English and was struck by the spiritual needs, and yet openness, of the people he worked with. For the next 10 years he taught English in London, before joining LCM to serve the Lord in reaching those on the margins from other faiths.

“I love to share that Jesus is the answer for lost people, like me, from every culture, and His love can draw those who are far away, near to him.”

Martin now works as a missionary in Lambeth, focusing on reaching out to Muslims and people from other faiths with the love of God and the gospels of Jesus Christ. “Lambeth is a diverse area, with many different groups of people searching for identity, salvation and wisdom in everything apart from Christ.” Martin is seeking to equip and inspire local churches, to share the good news of Jesus, across religious barriers.

“I’m praying that people from every faith, nation and language represented in Lambeth will become disciples of Christ, and that churches throughout the borough will extend their welcome to people of all cultures.”

Martin lives in south London with his wife and two sons.
