David Miller says he’s the third Walker Baptist Association director of missions (DOM) that Sue Martin has “trained.”
“She’s a walking encyclopedia of Baptist life, especially Baptist life in our county,” he said.
And September marks the 25th anniversary of Martin keeping the finances, missions trip plans and other logistical needs straight for Walker Baptists.
“She’s a great resource for our association,” said Miller, who followed Lucky Teague and Don Black before him as DOMs.
Black hired Martin, who was looking for a part-time job after being a stay-at-home mom. Her husband, Bill — pastor of New Canaan Baptist Church, Jasper — had heard about the job opening at a meeting and mentioned it. A quarter century later, she’s still there.
“I see myself as a resource person,” Martin said. “I try to help people connect with what they need. My motto is ‘do everything to the glory of God.’ It’s been a blessing to be a part of the association’s ministry.”
