Creating Martin Ministries

I have created Martin Ministries to reach a valuable generation of people in our world. No matter who you are, to Jesus...you are valuable. You are all unique, precious, treasured creations of the king of the universe, and He LOVES you. He loves you. He LOVES. God is amazing and alot of us in this generation don't even take the time to speak to him. Not talk to our creator? That's just nonsensical and neglectful. There is so much evidence that demands a verdict, and many of us ignore it for the longest time. I include myself in this description too. I am certainly not perfect. I ask God to forgive me everyday for stupid things I do, but I also thank him for the blessings he has given me in this life. I became a christian at age 17 and now I finally walk in the way of Jesus. Of course the choices lie inside each and every one of us, but we all know by experience that "if you don't control your life choices, your choices will control your life." Don't let your past haunt you any longer. Give up your life to Jesus Christ and see the magnificent things he can place in your life. It's not all pretty flowers and great smelling perfumes though. Sometimes God breaks us into vulnerable little pieces, but we get stronger when we allow HIM to put us back together. God has called me to this ministry to help people of all walks of life. I want to reach a technology age of children and teens, as well as buisy college students and adults. Many times we focus on the children and the old folks that regularly come to a church and we simply try to keep them there, but our job as ministers is to reach out and help God fulfill the Great Commision by encouraging personal communion with God. My desire is to help the world learn how to know and love God, and then translate that love to other people. Lets break out of our comfort zone and experience the walk that Peter did when he walked on water for just a few brief moments. It breaks my heart when I see a man lying on a park bench and everyone just walking by, hoping maybe someone else will pay attention. It breaks my heart when there's a full cup of change in front of that man and all he really wants is to spend some time with someone who cares about him. It breaks my heart when I see a college party fight break out and become a huge spectacle to stare, but not one of those students is in church the next morning because they don't feel God has anything useful to say to them. I can't stand to see children fail in school because they are not worked with consistently and just feel like giving up--and a teacher becomes ok with it. I desire more than this from a creation made by God to reflect God, and take care of his other creations. I don't want to live in a world where we kill the children, but save the trees. None of us deserve to live in such a world. I am therefore serving as a simple man caring about the world, connecting it, and showing love for it. I tutor kids and college students of all ages, and I teach bible stories, serve as a youth minister, and network with others to reach out to those who need God in any and every way humanly possible. I work a fulltime job in these tough economic times at a factory building industrial refrigeration condensers and I devote even more of my time lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons at my local YMCA. I boast not in myself but in the strength and the gifts God gives me. I would love to do so much more if God calls me to do so. I know where I fail God will succeed, but someone has to step up in worshiping Him in all that we do. Feel free to contact me if you have advice, or just want to aid in my ministry. Whether it be in ideas, finances, or just talking about God, I am very appreciative of any aid. Thank you and may God bless all those that read the messages our Lord has to offer.
