Paul
Martin
has worked as a paramedic in the Portland area for over 30 years.
His main calling is personal and small group apprentice training
in the local church. He and his brother Dave lead Apprentices
to the Master classes, where it is their joy to see the development
of mature, joyful, reproducing followers of Jesus. His daughter
Amy, her husband Jacob, and their 3 children live in Boston which
has taken on second "home city" status for him. Paul feels

to his own growth and ministry!

married daughters and 4 grandsons—all of whom live close by.

Nanci enjoys reading, exercising their dog Moses, watching professional
football, and traveling with Randy. They both love spending time
with their growing family.

her joy to see the Lord working in their lives. Gardening, hiking,
