Testimonials
“I had the privilege of being Blake Martin’s pastor when he was a teenager and observed him grow in his walk with the Lord and call to ministry. In the years that followed, God has used Blake to revitalize a struggling church and lead it to be a sending congregation dedicated to multiplying disciples and planting churches. God is now leading Blake to use the passion and skill he has given him for church planting to lead a congregation in New York City. The need for new churches and disciple making in that city is massive. I am confident that Blake will excel in this much needed mission field and would ask you to join me through your prayers and support for Blake and his family.”

“For the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to watch and learn from Blake Martin as a fellow pastor and in serving alongside him with Oklahoma Baptists church planting network. In every way, Blake lives above reproach and is passionate for both the lost and the Lord’s church. That calling on his life is now leading him and his wife and children to help meet the great need for sharing Christ in New York City. I have heard his heart’s desire for this work and look forward to partnering with him in prayer and support for this great task.”

“It has been my joy to meet many pastors over the years, and sometimes I meet one who has an unusual touch of God on their life. Blake Martin is one of those pastors. I’ve watched Blake’s ministry in Oklahoma over the years. He has a heart for souls and a heart to walk with the Lord daily. Now the Lord has given Blake a vision to plant churches in New York City. I certainly want to encourage Pastors to get acquainted with Blake Martin. He is a young man you can support in giving and prayer. You will be glad to be involved in this work.”

Pastor, Founder of Ted Kersh Ministries
“When I met Blake five years ago, the Lord had already stirred his heart for New York City, though he was in a season between being called and being sent. That in-between season proved to be a fruitful one. Blake faithfully planted where he was, cultivating the field the Lord had placed him in, and God brought about a harvest that has multiplied.
The work Blake did in leading what was once a struggling church in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to thrive and reproduce has set up that church to continue in faithfulness to the mission, and has served as meaningful preparation for the next harvest field the Lord is now entrusting to him. It has been a joy to have a front-row seat to watch Blake grow, flourish, and now be sent into this new season.”
