Honoring Martin Goldsmith’s Faithful Mission
Faith Facts
- Martin Goldsmith dedicated his life to global Christian mission, teaching for over 50 years.
- He pioneered theological education for cross-cultural missions at All Nations Christian College.
- Martin and Elizabeth authored books reflecting God’s faithfulness in their calling.
Martin Goldsmith was a devoted servant of Christ who, alongside his wife Elizabeth, served as a missionary in Southeast Asia before shaping Christian education in the UK.
Born into a Jewish family, Martin encountered the Gospel at school and later became a committed Christian during his time at Oxford.
He broke new ground in training missionaries, introduced non-Western theological studies, and launched enduring educational programs at All Nations Christian College.
Martin authored approximately 30 books and encouraged others, including Elizabeth, to share testimonies of God’s trustworthiness.
As he taught and mentored at All Nations for decades, Martin’s unique teaching style encouraged students to think deeply and biblically, always connecting faith to real-life mission.
His vibrant faith and thought-provoking lectures inspired countless students to take up the call of international Christian service.
“He could… be quite provocative and wanted to stretch students into opening their minds.”
Martin and Elizabeth’s steadfast worship and witness continue to testify to the joy of living out faith, family, and service for God’s greater glory.
We thank the Lord for Martin’s legacy, praying for God’s comfort over Elizabeth and his family, and for the ongoing blessing of the Gospel to flourish through faithful lives devoted to Christ’s mission.
