My name is WD Martin Jr. I’m the founder and creative director of Family Friend Inc., a Ministry that provides food and essentials for the homeless and street people of Wichita Kansas USA.
I’m currently available for consulting engagements.
I’m based in Wichita, Ks. USA, and most likely in the streets, in my van, collecting food, to feed people right now. You can help. Pray about becoming a partner with us.
DO YOU NEED PRAYER?
After graduating with a degree in Hair Styling and design, I spent several years creating and running my Styling Salons. I had 3 Salons and a Hair Styling Collage. Over time, I became more fascinated with helping people and seeing what I can do to make life better for them, so I returned to university to earn an additional degree in Biblical Studies.

Street Feeding on a Sunday
Today, I consult for a variety of different Nonprofit Organizations and I am a frequent lecturer at outdoor events during feeding programs. I’m also writing a book on how I got started in this Ministry, to be published next year.
