Martin & Cindy Frankena
About us: Our History

In a counseling career spanning 20 years, author and teacher Martin Frankena has shared the life-changing power of Christ’s redemption with individuals and churches in America, Canada, South America, and Europe.

In 2002, Martin Frankena Ministries (MFM) was founded to further the Lord’s mandate of releasing people into freedom from bondages to experience greater wholeness and fulfillment in life. A major focus of the ministry is healing from generational issues.

Born in Holland, Martin was raised in Brazil and lived in Canada for 40 years. With a Masters in pastoral counseling, Martin has served on the pastoral staff of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, and as Assistant Director with Ellel Ministries.

Martin and his wife Cindy work together in counseling to help individuals and couples achieve personal transformation. Additionally, Martin holds schools of ministry throughout the year in Maryland and California, and travels extensively to share in churches and conferences. Martin’s “Encounter” curriculum is being implemented in churches and retreats throughout North America for inner healing ministry.

Martin and Cindy are members of Cornerstone Fellowship in Frederick, MD. They currently reside in Williamsport, MD, and are the proud parents of three grown children.

“Martin and Cindy Frankena are two of the very choice servants of our Lord. They have been uniquely gifted and trained to help bring freedom to those in bondage and to minister in the arena of generational prayer and inner healing. They are not just trained to minister, but have now become trainers of ministers. Anyone who comes in contact with their ministry will be highly blessed”--- Dr. Paul L. Cox, Founder, Aslan’s Place, Hesperia CA.

“My wife Cheryl and I view Martin Frankena as one of those rare individuals of whom it can be said, ‘he is capable not only of ingesting strong meat, but disseminating it as well’ (Heb. 5:14). He has spoken at our church, ministered to many individuals in our congregation, and we ourselves have received invaluable personal ministry from the team of Martin and Cindy”--- Paul Black, Pastor, Cornerstone Fellowship Church, Frederick MD..

“Martin Frankena’s material, particularly the Encounter course developed for church retreats, has given us a transferable model for inner healing and deliverance. As we have applied and passed along Martin’s insights, we have been privileged to experience, to observe, and to cheer for those who are walking in newness of life in the Spirit. With these new freedoms have come new levels of intimacy with Jesus”—Dick and Jan Patterson, Church@Home, Montana.

 

Letters of Reference
Thirty three years ago, in the wonders and the labors of ministry in "The Jesus Movement", we saw hundreds and hundreds of folk--students to seniors--experience the love of Jesus. Those years shaped us in ministry, and when that season of harvest passed, we were left with a sense of longing for more. More of those days of harvest. More insight into partnering with Jesus in the healing of broken lives. More of His freedom for captives. More intimacy with Him.
