Martin pastored Wesleyan Churches in Kansas and Missouri for 20 years from 1966-1986. He began having health issues then and took a leave of absence, never to return to pastoring again. He missed it dearly and had a prayer ministry until his death in 2010. The wall by his computer was covered with photos of some of the people he was praying for.
