Just before the birth of their eighth child, Becky, they began their pastoral ministry which has defined all their lives.
Michael had retired from his formal pastoral ministry in the Pentecostal Church of God, however, his passion for ministry, Bible study, singing, and prayer kept him involved informally in the lives of others even during his final year at Live Oak Manor home where he lived.
