- 2005 -

In 2005, we graduated from Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, and knew that God was calling us to begin Choose Life Ministries (CLM). In June, we moved into a house that we rented from some members of our Church, and we traveled from it as we began ministering and speaking full time. We started out that first year speaking at Churches in Ohio during the month of July, and one week during September and October. We also spoke in Eastern Kentucky during September and October, then in Western Kentucky during October and November, and in Florida during November and December. As we ministered, we stayed in our rental home when we could, and when we could not, we stayed in hotels, with family, or in housing provided by churches. In October 2005, we also had the opportunity to participate in the Life Chain in Dayton, Ohio.
