Hello, BRN Family! It’s good to be with you today.
I wanted to alert you to a special offer for senior, executive, and associate pastors and their wives from churches who cooperate with the BRN.
On August 18-20, you are invited to participate in “The Battle Belongs to the Lord” Ministry Couples Retreat, set against the historic backdrop of Gettysburg, Pa.
Dr. Hance Dilbeck, President and Chief Executive Officer of GuideStone Financial Services, will serve as the keynote speaker.
We have three goals in mind for you as you experience this retreat:
– One, that you will engage in inspiring talks and worship designed to deepen your spiritual connection with God and strengthen your relationship with each other.
– Two, that you will enjoy peaceful moments of reflection, prayer, and relaxation in a serene, supportive environment.
– And third, that you will build lasting relationships with other couples who share your faith and understand the unique challenges of ministry.
For these few lazy summer days at the beautiful Wyndham Gettysburg hotel, you will also enjoy amazing food and a special time away from ministry with you and your spouse.
We have built in an afternoon with no programming so couples can explore Gettysburg or even take a nap! We are also offering some couples the opportunity to sign up for a free two-hour, bus-led tour of the Gettysburg Battlefields. But let me caution you: Space for this tour is limited to the first 20 couples, so don’t wait to sign up!
All of this is being offered to you through the generosity of our friends at the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, who are presenting this incredible opportunity for only $199 per couple. That’s two nights at a plush hotel, five meals that you don’t have to cook, and four sessions of encouraging content relevant to your ministry.
But guess what? Through the month of June, you can take advantage of a “flash sale” for this retreat! The cost is only $99 per couple! What a steal! The BRN cares so much for our pastors that we are willing to pay half the ticket price for you! (Already purchased your ticket? No worries. Contact the Help Desk if you’d like to be refunded a portion of the original cost.)
We have had some churches who have chosen to gift this retreat to their pastor and his wife. We encourage others to do the same. But remember, this retreat is limited to only 50 couples so hurry and sign up today! You can learn more and register at brnunited.org/battle.
Thank you! And as always, thanks for listening in and God bless you!
