Messiah College mourns the passing of two faithful servants
Even at age 92, Lowell was able to attend the Centennial Year Messiah College Commencement last May. How wonderful it was to have this Godly man witness the graduation of Messiah’s Centennial Class. We are deeply grateful for his life.
John Z. Martin, esteemed Messiah College alumnus and past president of Upland College, passed away on July 2, 2010, at Messiah Village. John was a gifted educator, administrator, and fundraiser. He had a profound impact on Christian higher education and independent colleges and universities, particularly in the state of Indiana where he served for 14 years as the Executive Director of the Associated Colleges of Indiana. John was the recipient of the Messiah Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1982. He and his wife Anna were remarkable mentors to countless Messiah students over the years. We are thankful that the Lord’s plan for John included spending a portion of his life’s journey at Messiah College.
