Ministry Description

I have being serving as the Director of Word of Life Australia since 2010.

My passion is to reach today's youth through evangelism, discipleship and leadership training. In Australia, we have the great privilege of sharing the gospel of Christ in public high schools. The Lord has allowed us to combine this opportunity with our KICKOFF evangelistic outreaches. Working with school scripture teachers and local youth pastors, we minister to thousands of young people every year. Also our goal is to help local churches develop ongoing, vibrant youth ministries.

About Martin

At the age of six, I migrated to Australia with my family in search of a better future—stepping into a new culture, language, and way of life. Amidst that transition, God was already at work. At 13, I encountered the life-changing grace of Jesus Christ and received Him as my Savior. But without guidance or discipleship, I wandered during my teenage years, making choices that left lasting wounds.

Yet even in my rebellion, God never abandoned me. In His relentless mercy, He met me in my brokenness and restored my soul. That moment of grace reignited my heart with a passion to live fully surrendered to Him.

That passion took shape during four transformative years at Word of Life Argentina, where I was grounded in God’s Word and ministry. It was there that I met Silvia—my wife, my partner in life, and in mission.

For the past 25 years, Silvia and I have had the privilege of serving with Word of Life. Together, we've poured our lives into discipling others and proclaiming the hope of the gospel. Through every season, God’s redeeming power and faithfulness have carried us—and our story is all for His glory.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
