Drs. Dan & Marilyn Cheatham make their home in Hampton Cove of Huntsville, Alabama. Their firm belief is that God is The God of Another Chance and that He offers people unconditional love, acceptance and forgiveness through Jesus Christ! They are pastors of Life International Church in Huntsville, Alabama. In 2007 the Lord spoke to Dan's heart, saying, "Build me a house of praise!" On January 9, 2010 the Lord spoke two scriptures into Dan's heart: "Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake from sleep..." and "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch!" Thus the church was launched on March 26, 2010.

Dan & Marilyn are also official members of US Coalition of Apostolic Leaders (USCAL) and Dr. Mike Murdock's church, "The Wisdom Center." They are also charter members of "m21," a ministers network started by Strang Communications who have published the popular "Charisma" and "Ministry Today" magazines for decades.
