C.H.O.I.C.E.S. is the key for salvation in every area a human faces. HTM is aggressively seeking ambassadors in every hometown who will present that message with passion and conviction.
HomeTown Ministries International exists to network with churches, pastors, and believers worldwide — equipping them to reach their own community with the gospel of Jesus Christ and become better disciples.
Founded by Michael and Becky Myers, HTM is built on the framework of Luke 23 and the three crosses — Gestus who rejected, Dismas who received, and Jesus who redeemed. Every person faces those same two choices. HTM trains ambassadors to present them clearly.
From Connersville, Indiana to Zamboanga, Philippines, the mission is the same: reach the hometown, raise up disciples, and deploy them as missionaries in their own community. Every church. Every city. Every hometown.
The CHOICES framework is the theological and practical foundation of everything HTM does — a curriculum, a character system, and a discipleship pathway built on one eternal truth.
30 modules across middle school and high school editions covering five crisis units. Deployed in 2,000+ schools in the Philippines with DepEd government recognition. Available for US churches and schools.
Trained, certified ambassadors carrying the CHOICES message into their hometown. Deployed across six partner churches in the US and throughout the Philippines. Vision: 8 million ambassadors reaching every hometown worldwide.
Choices That Shape Our Character — Book One by Michael D. Myers. A government-recognized educational resource with a verified field record. CHOICES Academy and Research Institute currently in development.
HTM is developing a CHOICES-based curriculum specifically designed to address school bullying and campus violence — equipping students, educators, and families with tools that create real change.
Every student in that hallway has a role. Every role has a choice. CHOICES gives them a framework to make the right one.
Students who bully often carry their own unresolved pain. The CHOICES curriculum meets them where they are — offering a path toward accountability, identity, and genuine change rather than punishment alone.
Most students who witness bullying want to help but don't know how. Our curriculum equips bystanders with the courage and tools to intervene safely — because standing by is also a choice.
Students who are targeted need more than sympathy — they need resilience, community, and identity rooted in something unshakeable. CHOICES gives them exactly that, grounded in the truth of who God says they are.
This program is actively in development. Your investment helps HTM create, test, and deploy an anti-bullying curriculum that reaches students where they are — in classrooms, hallways, and homes across America and beyond. Every dollar funds a solution that statistics prove works.
A specialized tool for CHOICES Ambassadors — track your activity, access curriculum, log encounters, earn badges, and connect with your church's HTM team. Currently available on the Netlify platform at choicesmade.org, with Apple App Store availability coming soon.

Every year, HTM partners with local first responders, churches, and community volunteers to assemble and distribute CHOICES Comfort Bags — ready-to-deploy care packages for those experiencing crisis in their most vulnerable moments.
Whether it's a family who just lost everything in a house fire, a child removed from an unsafe home, a person experiencing homelessness, or a survivor of domestic violence — a Comfort Bag puts essential supplies and a message of hope directly into their hands at exactly the right moment. These aren't just bags. They are the first act of love from a church that sees them.
