Prison Minister Marty Angelo to Speak at San Diego Banquet
Just days after appearing at a celebrity court hearing minister/author will deliver keynote address
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7, 2011 /Christian
Newswire/ Once Life Matters Ministries founder Marty Angelo announced today he will be delivering a keynote address at the
Shadow Mountain Community Church prison ministry banquet scheduled for Friday Nov. 11th in El Cajun, California. The banquet is an annual event honoring San Diego County’s top rated prison ministry.
"It is truly an honor for me to speak at this year's banquet. I usually spend most of my time on the front lines of ministry and it is very unusual to be asked to speak in public at a social type event. I will be sharing part of my own personal testimony of God's grace, mercy and love in my life as well as encouraging those who reach out to thousands of prisoners through Shadow Mountain’s tremendous prison ministry."
On November 2nd Angelo was in court to spiritually support troubled actress
Lindsay Lohan and was asked to deliver a message from her father, Michael who is currently incarcerated in Tampa Florida. “It breaks my heart to see what the Lohan family is going through.” Angelo remarked to the hundreds of press reporters outside of the courthouse. “I am not sure what it is going to take to finally heal this family of its troubles but I know God is able to bring about total restoration in due time.” Angelo has continuously reached out to the Lohan family since 2007 when Michael first contacted him to try to help his daughter.
