Ryan Martin serves as Director of Missions and Operations for Lightbearers Ministries, and his wife, Rebekah, serves as Finance Manager. Lightbearers is a parachurch ministry that focuses on residential discipleship for college-aged students and is based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with ministry operations also in Starkville, Mississippi, and Stillwater, Oklahoma. Lightbearers centers its ministry around four core components: community (students living together with intentionality), Biblical institute (developing Biblical literacy and sound doctrine), mentorship (doing life-on-life discipleship with a mature follower of Christ), and missions (developing a heart for the nations within students while also leveraging rent money to fund church planting in northern Africa and Asia).
