Ian & Danielle Martens

Mission Focusing Consultant

Ian, at a young age, developed a taste for cross-cultural construction ministry when his family moved to Curacao, a tropical island, where his father built a church for a local congregation. This appetite and compassion for people was again revived as Ian served in Mexico for a semester while attending Bible College. After graduating from Columbia Bible College with a BA in Biblical Studies, Ian was involved with a construction ministry in Thailand after the tsunami. This is where God radically changed the direction of Ian's life as God took the throne of his life. While working at Columbia Bible College for two years as a Residence Director Ian lead several missions' trips locally and internationally. Seeing the fruit of service in people's lives, the local church and in the lives of those being served has given Ian a passion for Christian mission. While working at CBC Ian started studying at ACTS seminary and finished with a MA in Leadership from Trinity Western University in 2009. He is married to the love of his life, Danielle, co-owns a construction company, teaches sessionally at Columbia Bible College and is excited in serving with HFL to see lives radically changed by the power of Jesus Christ.
