Strobel to speak at Lifeline Family Center in Cape Coral
Lifeline Family Center in Cape Coral has announced that New York Times best-selling author Lee Strobel will be the keynote speaker at the non-profit organization’s annual benefit dinner Thursday, March 26.
Strobel is the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and the author of 20 books, including his best known work, “The Case for Christ” and other faith-based books. Formerly an avowed atheist, Strobel began investigating Biblical claims about Christ after his wife’s conversion. His investigation led him to become a Christian.

Tickets are $70 each or $400 for a table of eight. Sponsorships, which include a VIP reception with Strobel, are available from $1,000 to $10,000. Tickets may be purchased atwww.lifelinefamilycenter.org/benefitdinner or by calling 239-242-7238.
Lifeline Family Center provides a home in Cape Coral for homeless young women in crisis pregnancies to help them become self-supporting through education, job training, parenting classes, professional counseling and spiritual guidance.
It is the only residential program in Lee County for homeless young women in crisis pregnancies who are not part of the foster care program.
Lifeline Family Center serves up to 12 young women, ages 16 to 22, and up to 24 babies at a time. The non-profit also operates a 24/7 Pregnancy Phone Helpline, provides free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds by appointment, and does outreach to all areas of Lee County, including all college campuses.
Several young women who have graduated from the two-year residential program also will speak about their experience at the benefit dinner and how Lifeline Family Center made a difference in their lives.
