testimonials

"“When Martin comes to preach at SSCC he impacts people. It isn't just his preaching but his presence. He often speaks words into our people's lives, and they encounter Jesus. We are extremely grateful for

Martin's ministry."”

Dr. Robert Reimer, Senior Pastor

South Shore Community Church

Boston, MA

"Martins mentoring relationship with me is a significant reason why I am now creating new ministry initiatives in Paris. His encouragement to dream big, to focus on the core issues of character, and to empower me to take big steps of faith have led me to trust God in radical ways. Frankly, without Martin's presence in my life, I highly doubt that I would have pursued international missions, creative church planting, or such a huge focus on

mentoring. God has used this

man in ways that have not

only changed my life but also

those we now minister to in

this difficult context ."

”

Tim & Rachel Meier

Missionaries in Paris, France

"Martin encouraged me to think transformationally about life and people, coached me with discernment and insight that came from the Holy Spirit, and lead with integrity. Martin modeled for me what it means to focus on the heart and not the temporary external appearances and issues that so easily entangle people. He branded me with the knowledge that in the

end life is all about reaching

lost people through authentic

living and leadership."

”

Mark Conklin

Senior Manager of Leadership Development, Chick-Fil-A

"“I have pastored international churches in Asia and the Middle East and know the absolute necessity of a mentoring relationship with history and context while ministering overseas. Global Leadership is the difference between surviving and thriving cross-culturally. Living and bearing fruit outside your native country requires a mentor who can speak into multiple issues in multiple settings. Remaining inside a long-term, meaningful relationship is

crucial for a healthy soul,

marriage, family, and ministry.

Global Leadership and Martin

have provided that kind of

mentoring relationship for me .”"

”

Warren Reeve, Pastor

The Lighthouse Church, Kuwait

"The leadership training and principles you imparted have helped me build a personal ministry framework that has kept me disciplined and focused on pursuing a life of integrity. Your insight about the leadership process, along with character formation, has motivated me to become a disciple of this understanding of ministry

processes"

”

Dr. Keith Attles, Senior Pastor

Covenant Life Ministries Church

Teaneck, NJ

"It's hard for me to articulate the degree of influence Martin Sanders and Global Leadership has had on my life and ministry. He has challenged me, blessed me, and encouraged me to dream big for the Kingdom. He has enlarged my perspective on ministry and taught me how to be a better husband and now father. More than any other training I've received, I thank God for bringing Martin and

Global Leadership into my life

and hope to pass on what

I've received."

”

Dean Groetzinger, Pastor

Whitford Church

Western Australia

"Ever since I first met Martin in 2006 at Malaysia, I have taken the issue of living a ‘congruent life ’ (having my external representation match my inner character) more seriously. Martin has served as a mentor in the last few years as I keep him abreast of some major decisions I have had to make and I have appreciated pointed questions he asked in order to help me give deeper thought and consideration to the issues

at hand.”"

”

Mark Kolo

Mission Supporters League

Africa

"Life-transformation is a core value in our church. Many of our families experienced the life-transforming power of God's Word preached and taught through Martin. One woman and her daughter independently commented on how God touched the husband and father in their lives. He was found crying in the balcony over issues Martin addressed on the role of fathers. God used Martin to help transform

people to be more

like Christ .”"
