Keynote Speakers

Bishop W.C. Martin & First Lady Donna Martin

Pastor and First Lady, Bennett Chapel Missionary Baptist Church

Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife, Donna, have dedicated over two decades to serving the community of Possum Trot, Texas, as the pastor and first lady of Bennett Chapel. Their remarkable adoption story began in 1997 when they adopted two children. That decision sparked a movement in their church, leading their small community to adopt 77 children out of foster care.

Featured on major platforms like Oprah, Dateline NBC, Good Morning America, and The 700 Club, their journey has been highlighted in the acclaimed film Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.

Bishop Martin and Donna are sought-after speakers, traveling across the country to lead keynotes, seminars, and sessions on topics such as adoption, fostering, and community building. Their mission is to inspire Christians to embrace the care of orphans, ensuring that every child finds a loving home.

At our Mother's Day Dinner, you’ll hear firsthand how their faith and determination transformed not just their own family but an entire community. Donna Martin’s story, in particular, reveals the power of a mother’s love to create lasting change. As Bishop Martin has said, "Not everyone can adopt, but everyone can do something."
