Marty is the Teaching Pastor at Heritage Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His main area of ministry is preaching with a passion for prayer, small groups and missions. Marty and wife, Jan, have three grown children, Jason, Amy and Katy and a new grandson Jackson.

and his wife, Nancy, served as linguists and Bible translators among the Duna people in the highlands of Papua, New Guinea. Before beginning Bible translation work the Cochranes learned the language of the Duna people. They then created an alphabet for this previously unwritten language, did grammar analysis and compiled a Duna-English dictionary. After they prepared literacy materials many of the Duna people learned to read and write in their own language.

Finally it was Dennis' joy to give the Dunas the first portions of God's Word translated into their language. A church was born as several thousand of these people came to know Christ. Today dozens of congregations meet regularly in thatch-roofed chapels to worship the Lord and study His Word in their language.
