The Mission...
The mission of Marty Angelo Ministries is proclaiming and teaching the gospel of the kingdom of God to prisoners, substance abuse recovery program
clients and troubled celebrities. The ministry utilizes life-changing books, evangelistic
outreaches and follow-up resources.
Though at times Angelo thought
he achieved success, internally he always felt an emptiness in his heart, sensing his life neither had real meaning nor true purpose.
Nothing ever seemed to matter to him. Consequently, he lived a
rebellious, sin-riddled out-of-control lifestyle.
Angelo was arrested in 1980 for two
counts of possession of cocaine. Through this life-shattering event he experienced
a "new beginning," a dramatic and electrifying
conversion to Christianity. This miracle happened in 1981 prior to serving
two-and-a-half years in a
federal prison. God forgave Marty's sins, blessed him with
everlasting
life and filled the void in his heart with the Holy Spirit. His life
finally mattered as he discovered
God's true plan and purpose.
Angelo
helped many prisoners during his incarceration explaining to them that if
God can change his life He can change anybody... including hardened
convicts, drunkards and drug addicts.Many followed his advice.
Marty
was released from prison in 1984 and is living his life as
an example to other ex-convicts and former drug-addicts and alcoholics who want to
serve God and be used by Him
for His glory.
Special Outreach
Ministry to Troubled Celebrities...
Angelo's 15 turbulent years in the entertainment industry
has given him a special burden for today's celebrities.
Many are suffering the same consequences from abusing drugs and drunkenness
that he experienced while living in the fast lane in the music business.
No one within the
entertainment business
back in the late '60s and '70s was warning others of the high cost of leading such a sinful life.
There was not much information available on how to change. Therefore,
Angelo prays that today's entertainers
and others will learn from his mistakes and seek a better life through
his special outreach efforts. He also prays and asks others to pray that God will do
"whatever it takes" to
reach many of this generation's long list of troubled
celebrities.
Marty believes as a
Christian he has an obligation to encourage troubled
celebrities and others to try a
better road to travel; one that leads to everlasting peace, happiness and a new life that truly does
really matter. He donates his
services to celebrities using letters,
books,
faith-based
rehab referrals and various court appearances.
