About Us

Joseph and Lena Martinez founded Anchor of Hope Ministries in 2015 when the Lord called them into the homeless encampments of Orange County, CA. During that time they witnessed the power of God and the power of their “yes.” Their ministry reached beyond the streets, pursuing the unreachable with a message of hope and the love of Jesus.

In 2017, the Lord called the Martinez family to leave everything behind and hit the road in their motorhome, praying for their next assignment. This is where their mobile ministry, Destination Disciples, began. Covering over 42 states, they continued their journey to reach others, sharing a message of hope and the love of Jesus with everyone they encounter. The Martinez Family continues to travel in their RV praying to encounter others to share their love for Jesus and message of hope.

In 2018, after a year of seeking the Lord for direction, they arrived in a small town in Georgia where they began to fulfill the assignment God had given them to open their home to ministry students.

In 2022, the Martinez Family relocated to Henderson, NV, where they continue to open their home to traveling evangelists and ministry leaders. Creating opportunities to mentor, support and encourage to those looking to answer the call of God on their lives.

In 2026, Anchor of Hope Ministries continues to support the laborers of the Faith by providing resources to assist with the mission the Lord has commissioned them to do.
