Samuel Martin (missionary)

Samuel Martin was an American Presbyterian missionary who played a pivotal role in establishing Martinpur, a predominantly Christian village in Punjab, Pakistan.

He selected 72 families from various parts of Punjab to settle in this new village, creating a community centered around Christian values and education.

Martinpur quickly developed as a significant center for the Christian population in the region.

[1] Martin started the Christian Boys High School in Martinpur.

Even though the school faced challenges, it was returned to the Presbyterian Education Board in 1998.
