Richard LaneBorn in Detroit, Michigan to Mary O. Alexander, retired educator for the Highland Park School system, and the Late Dick “Night Train” Lane, National Football League Hall of Fame Cornerback, Mr. Lane, Jr. attended Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia and also served honorably for nearly six years in the United States Army Military Police Corps in numerous domestic and international locations.
As a convert to the Faith in April 2003, it was in early 2005 when Mr. Lane was led to begin proclaiming the Gospel as a Street Corner Evangelist, sharing the Word of God and passing out Bibles, crosses, and other religious items. Since that time, Mr. Lane has been featured in the national media on Catholic Answers Live, Ave Maria Radio, Relevant Radio, and Protestant Radio. As the producer and co-host of Evangelizing St. Louis, Mr. Lane continues to evolve, being invited to numerous Baptist, Lutheran and Inter/Non-Denominational churches to witness in an ecumenical role in addition to those invitations he receives for speaking, reflection, parish missions, and revival engagements in the Catholic community. Mr. Lane is dedicated to preaching, teaching, and sharing the word of God in the TRUEST spirit of ecumenism, focusing on the importance of evangelization and ministering to those who are lost and in search of something greater than themselves: Jesus Christ! We are ALL God’s Children, no matter what faith we are.
Mr. Lane is a proud member of St. Alphonsus Liguori “ROCK” Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
Mr. Lane’s dynamic and charismatic style of ministry is based upon three principles: faith, hope, and love. He integrates these principles with the sacraments instituted by Christ. Evangelist Lane focuses on reconciliation in effort to bring about healing to so many who are lost and fallen away from the Church. “It’s NEVER Too Late to Come Home” is one of the most passionate talks ever given by Evangelist Lane.
A proud husband to Mrs. Donna L. Lane and father of a 13 year old daughter, Kristin Alexandria Lane, Mr. Lane challenges every one of all faiths and denominations to “Get out of the Boat,” as St. Peter did.
