Church Leaders Recommend Project Ruth

“We took a group of Lead Pastors recently and stayed at Project Ruth. We toured the community and even did some outreach to them with food and other gifts. We loved it! The Project Ruth leadership hosted us well and made us feel like we would want to return! Great place to serve in missions and contribute to a community of people in need!”

Life-Changing Activities

“Our visit with you was truly exceptional, and each one of us has been profoundly impacted by the experience. Our team of ten, including nine adults and one eleven-year-old child, left La Florida with renewed motivation and a transformed outlook on our roles in both local and international communities. The opportunity to share God’s love through your initiative of providing free shoes to children in need, leading a three-day vacation bible school, with meals and assist in building community bathrooms was life changing.”

Meet Your Mission Trip Directors

Five Decades of Faithful Ministry

George and Rashel Martin are devoted leaders and passionate servants of God, with over 50 years of combined service within the Assemblies of God Fellowship. Throughout their journey, they have faithfully served in nearly every area of ministry, from cleaning and outreach to youth leadership, preaching, choir, and missions. Their hands-on approach and heart for people reflect a true commitment to the Body of Christ.

Your Leaders on the Field

Today, they continue to serve as board members at their local church in Abaco, Bahamas, where they remain deeply devoted to advancing God's Kingdom. The Martins share a deep passion for Project Ruth and its mission to spread the Gospel and demonstrate Christ's love in practical, transformative ways. They feel called to serve through this ministry as an extension of their lifelong commitment to reaching the lost and strengthening the Body of Christ, both in their local community and around the world.

Hearts for Family and Mission

Beyond their formal ministry roles, George and Rashel are respected professionals in their community. They treasure their blended family of six children, three sons and three daughters, and share a love for travel, especially when it means reaching the lost for Christ. With a deep sense of calling and a heart for the harvest, they are committed to fulfilling the Great Commission.
