“What a blessing it is to work with the students, staff, faculty and administration at Belhaven,” says Dr. Martin. “It is encouraging to see God faithfully and powerfully at work in our midst, satisfying to see Him transform lives, and rewarding to hear of graduates who are serving the Lord in many different places and in many ways. May God be praised for all these good things, and may we keep looking to him in faith for all that lies ahead. ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.’ (Psalm 34:8)”
It does not take much interaction with Dr. Martin to discover his great passion for Brazil, where he and his wife Helen, an adjunct Bible teacher at Belhaven, served as missionaries for twenty-four years. Of course, his time there allowed him to become fluent in the Portuguese language, so it seems fitting that we offer thanks to him for his service with words just for him…”Muito Obrigado!”
