Family Information Martin is married to Rakeli Poverty and they have 2 children; Caleb and Elevira.
Martin has joined the Breaking Ground Missions Training Program because he wants to become a pastor and plant churches. He feels that God is calling him to do His work by serving God's people as a pastor and to start churches in needed places.
After Martin dropped out of school in his 9th grade year, he started spending his time with the wrong crowd who led him in the wrong direction. He lived this way for several year. A youth Bible study group came to his home to study and they learned about Lazarus. Martin was convicted and transformed and he accepted Christ that day. He went to the church leaders and began his training on how to serve the Lord and preach the gospel to others.
Sponsoring a pastor in our Pastor Training Program allows the Pastor to attend training at no cost to him! All meals (3 meals a day), lodging, basic toiletries, training supplies and materials, teacher costs, graduation gowns, certificates, and Bible, and basic medical needs should they arise are all included. During the week each month that the pastors are at the Training Center, they are fully taken care of.
