That was his calling, his passion and his identity. He often said that he would rather be a missionary than the president of the United States and that was evident in every aspect of his life. He fulfilled that calling in over 40 countries and spent over 30 years serving in southern Mexico. Thousands of believers and hundreds of churches among various indigenous groups of Mexico is the fruit of his labor.
He was a member of Victory Baptist Church of Wichita Falls, Texas. Mr. Martin was preceded in death by his wife, Frances on August 25, 2019 and one son, Paul Martin, on January 29, 2008.
