My dream was to be a dynamic missionary who impacted the world in amazing ways. Over the course of 25 years I was seduced and drawn into the arms of ministry. I had vision; I had purpose and I had a clear identity. Or so I thought. Ministry used me and spit me out, a disillusioned and burnt out shell of a man. Then some extraordinary things happened and everything changed. This is my story. Have you ever followed your Dream only to see it crash into the ground?

Have you ever wondered what Missionary life is really like? Author, Franz Martens, exposes his career as a missionary, sharing intimate stories of life "on the field"—including the good, the bad, and the ugly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5858595bd2b857c597add33a/1606250494368-5ORSXLDX2C34TSKHU5DY/I+Promise+front+cover.jpg Books - For years people have been “claiming” the promises of the Bible without really understanding the promises they are claiming. Too often, well-meaning Christians take the promises that God made to the nation of Israel and claim them for themselves. Another problem with promises is that many Christians do not know the difference between “absolute” promises and “obedience” promises. Franz Martens will help you with that in the pages you are about to read. “I Promise” is a well thought out, Gospel-centered book that will give you the understanding you need to “rightly divide” the promises of God’s Word so that you can correctly apply them in your daily life. -Dr. Charlie Boyd, Pastor For years people have been “claiming” the promises of the Bible without really understanding the promises they are claiming.
