She championed missions support among Southern Baptist churches and helped create a rich legacy of people awakened and responding to God’s call to pray\, give and go. \nSince 1895\, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering has empowered Southern Baptists’ missional work to reach the U.S.\, Canada\, and their territories. Generation after generation\, we’ve united to reach people born on our shores and the nations who come here to make a new home. \nYour generous giving to the annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering makes an eternal impact across North America. You and your church are the fuel that enables thousands of missionaries to be sent\, to plant churches\, and to serve the needs of people who desperately need a gospel witness.

The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work\, and can leave you running on empty.“I don’t know if I can keep up this pace anymore.” \n“I am on the verge of just walking away.” \n“The pressure has reached a breaking point.” \nIf you have felt this way you are not alone. \nWe welcome you to our Pastoral Formation Community. Pastor\, author\, and artist Ronnie Martin and BCM/D Director of Formation and Health\, Dan Hyun\, will provide perspectives and practices that will lead to newfound flourishing in your life and ministry. You’ll learn to develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people you care for while guarding you from burnout. \nOur cohort-based approach blends some teaching but will primarily be oriented around connection with one another with two half-day retreats (February 19 and May 21) that bookend shorter regionally based gatherings throughout March and April. Together we’ll explore practices that restore attentiveness to God and people: crafting sane schedules\, shepherding from identity rather than insecurity\, leading from prayerful presence\, and building friendships that sustain the long haul. \nCheck out more details including the regional dates and locations below. Space is intentionally limited so register soon to hold your spot. \nIf you’re tired of measuring ministry by speed and volume\, come learn to do less—and accomplish more of what actually matters. Your soul\, your family\, and your church will notice the difference. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Regional Meetups — March\n Dates: Regional gatherings throughout March 2026 \nLocations: Various locations across Maryland and Delaware \nDescription:Connect with other pastors in your region for a time of conversation\, encouragement\, and sharpening. These smaller gatherings build on February’s retreat and give space to talk about real challenges in ministry with brothers who understand the weight of the work. \n \n \n \n \n \n Regional Meetups — April\n Dates: Regional gatherings throughout April 2026 \nLocations: Various locations across Maryland and Delaware \nDescription:Take another step in the journey toward healthy\, sustainable ministry. These regional meetups keep the momentum going—helping you stay focused\, grounded\, and connected as you put new practices into motion. \nRegister for an April Meetup Here! \n \n \n \n \n \n May Retreat\n Date: May 21\, 2025 \nLocation: South Shore Church \nDescription:We’ll wrap up our time together with a final half-day retreat—a chance to look back\, refocus\, and move forward with clarity. Join Ronnie and Dan as we revisit the lessons learned\, celebrate progress\, and commit to running the race with endurance.

While her strengths don’t lie in numbers and spreadsheets\, she discovered that God met her right in the middle of her financial chaos and not only brought life to her money situation\, but transformed her from the inside out. \nTurns out\, God is in the work\, the fun\, and the rest. While many neglect rest as an outdated religious ritual\, Linda has found it to be one of God’s gracious invitations—rest while He takes care of all the things. For the past 13 years\, she and her husband Bob have practiced a yearly month-long sabbatical\, a rhythm that has deepened their trust in God and reminded them that He is the one who carries the work forward. \nLinda is passionate about Jesus and simply wants to know Him more. She lives in Franklin\, Tennessee with her husband Bob and their three children. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Overview\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 24-26\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Guest Speaker: Linda Lotich\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beautiful Annapolis\, MD\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\n \n \n \n \n \n 4:00 PM – Check-In5:00 PM – Welcome Dinner6:30 PM – Session 17:30 PM – Breakouts \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Friday\n \n \n \n \n \n 8:00 AM – Breakfast9:00 AM – Group Devotional10:00 AM – Breakout Sessions11:00 AM – Break12:00 PM – Lunch in Downtown Annapolis1:00–5:00 PM – Free Time5:00 PM – Dinner6:30 PM – Session Three7:30 PM – Breakout Conversations \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\n \n \n \n \n \n 8:00 AM – Breakfast9:00 AM – Session 411:00 AM – Check Out \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BCM/D Pastors' Wives Conference\n \n \n \n \n \n Rested.
