Martins Atanda - Mission Matters - Africa

"I am saying this for your benefit, ... that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord." 
1 Corinthians 7:35

Every once in a while, one meets a visionary who has their hands in multiple endeavors and yet also truly has their heart in each one.  That man would be Martins Atanda!  Pivoting out of their home in Nigeria, Martins and Shade (wife) extend their reach into multiple countries in Western Africa, each with a quality of vision and labor one finds hard to fathom.  Yet, they expand the Kingdom on multiple levels and with the best of teams in each locale.  From village development, to quality water (wells bored and pumps installed), to sharing the Good News, to discipleship, to goats and sheep loans, to developing leaders, to women's education, to minority rights, the list can honestly go on and on.  This husband and wife team is outright remarkable in all they put their hands and hearts into ... and all from Nigeria, a country of great persecution and turmoil, even making international news lately.  FPI wholly endorses Martins and Shade, and we are grateful they have chosen to expand their lives and work alongside us, equally endorsing FPI!
