This Is Not A Ministry. This Is A Mission.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.

Matthew 28:19–20

And you are invited.

01
The Movement

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said one word: Go.

Not "wait." Not "study it further." Not "build a building." Go. That single word launched the most significant movement in human history. Twelve ordinary men took it seriously, and it changed the world.

The Book of Acts is the record of what happened when they actually did it. They crossed borders. They learned languages. They faced prison, shipwreck, and death. They planted churches in homes and marketplaces. They didn't ask for permission. They asked for boldness. And the Lord worked with them.

That same mission is alive today. It is not finished. There are still nations that need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ taught clearly, faithfully, and with power. The Great Commission was not given to a generation — it was given to every generation. Including this one.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

Matthew 28:19–20

This site exists to mobilize people to join the mission. Whether you are a college student ready for your first mission trip, a business leader looking to use your influence for the gospel, a church searching for a dynamic Bible teacher, or someone who feels the pull to go — there is a place for you.

02
The Foundation

Christ first. Always.

Every mission has a hierarchy — what's most important, what comes second, what serves what. Here, the hierarchy is the mission itself.

01

Jesus Christ

The Son of God. The reason everything exists. Every word, every trip, every talk points here.

02

The Great Commission

Matthew 28:19–20. The mission itself — go, teach, baptize, make disciples of all nations. Acts is the playbook.

03

The People Who Go

This is a movement of people. College students, executives, retirees, families. Everyone who answers the call to go.

Marty Hale — The Builder

A man who has built major brands and has spent his life building something far greater: the Kingdom of God. Missionary. Bible teacher across 100+ countries. Author of 20+ books.

The Mission Field

Where the gospel has been carried

Marty spent over half his adult life in full-time ministry and mission work, serving as a missionary in the United States, in Mexico City, in Costa Rica, and in the remote jungles of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. He has since taught the Bible in more than 100 countries, reaching over 50 million people.

United States

Marty's earliest years of full-time ministry were spent serving congregations across the United States — preaching, teaching Scripture, and discipling believers. Those years built the foundation for everything that followed.

  • Full-time ministry in congregations across the U.S.
  • Preaching, Bible teaching, and personal discipleship
  • The training ground for a lifetime of cross-cultural mission work

Mexico City

Marty served as a missionary in Mexico City — his first sustained mission field outside the United States. It meant entering another culture with humility: learning its language and rhythms, building trust, and teaching the gospel one relationship at a time.

  • Missionary service in Mexico City
  • Gospel teaching alongside local believers and congregations
  • Cross-cultural groundwork that prepared him for Indonesia

Irian Jaya, Indonesia

The farthest reach of Marty's field work took him into the remote jungles of Irian Jaya, Indonesia — among some of the most isolated tribal communities on earth. Reaching them meant jungle terrain, no infrastructure, and cultures with no prior contact with the gospel.

Marty has taught Scripture at every extreme — from the remote tribes of Irian Jaya to boardrooms and conference stages — with the same message and the same mission.

  • Missionary work in the remote jungles of Irian Jaya
  • Bible teaching later carried into 100+ countries worldwide
  • Over 50 million people reached through decades of teaching

Costa Rica

Marty has also led short-term mission teams to Costa Rica, serving local schools and communities alongside volunteers from the United States. The work there is hands-on and relational — visiting classrooms, doing physical labor side by side with the community, and building friendships that carry the gospel further than words alone.

  • Short-term mission trips serving Costa Rican schools and communities
  • Hands-on service projects alongside local believers
  • Relationship-building between visiting teams and the children they serve

“And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message through accompanying signs.”

The Builder

From building world-class brands to building the Kingdom of God

Born and raised in Central Texas, the son of a carpenter, Marty lost his sister and mother by the age of four — one of seven children raised by his father alone. It was in that loss that a relentless search for truth began, and it has never stopped.

By fourteen, Marty was deep in personal Bible study. By fifteen, he was teaching and preaching. He earned degrees in Biblical Studies and the Science of Missions, followed by a Master's in Theology.

He spent over half his adult life in full-time ministry and mission work, serving as a missionary in Mexico City and in the remote jungles of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. He has taught the Bible in more than 100 countries, reaching over 50 million people, and has authored more than 20 books.

In the business world, Marty has operated at the highest level, building major brands and iconic names, and has been recognized as "CEO of the Decade" by World News Today and "Industry Top Gun" by Success Magazine.

But Marty will tell you plainly: all of that exists to serve one purpose — the same purpose that has driven him since he was fifteen years old. Go and make disciples of all nations.
