After serving over 21 years in federal prison, Apostle Belton L. Platt has been a free man since 2010 and shares his story across the Country. Today Belton serves in his community and inspires others across the nation and around the world with his story.
Formally known as Belton “Money Rock” Platt as a charismatic young drug dealer in Charlotte in the 1980s before he spent more than 20 years in prison.
He supervised the planting of Zion Christian Ministries in Miami, Florida, and currently oversees Restoration of All Nations Ministries in Montreal, Canada.
Platt is a marriage counselor and author of two books: Ministry of the Husband, a book that has blessed many marriages and families nationwide, and The Authority of God: Walking in God-Ordained Power where Platt shows how God’s church has been living far beneath her privileges in Christ and instead of being the conquerors we were destined to be, we have chosen to live weak and defeated lives. He believes it is time for the church to understand her rightful place in Christ and what it means to be called the sons and daughters of the Most-High-God.
Apostle Platt is a mentor and counselor to youth from all walks of life. His vision is to help young people reach their full potential in life, to teach them life skills that are necessary to live successful lives, to train them in the area of communicating in a positive, respectful and professional way, and to teach them how to be the leaders of the next generation where truth, honesty, and integrity should be the cornerstones of their lives and character.
Platt has had the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors of A Father’s Place in Conway, South Carolina, and partnered with A Father’s Place as the program coordinator for two community programs: Roots and Wings and Be Proud, Be Responsible.
He is a community leader and a motivational speaker, and he is a volunteer Chaplain with the J Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway, South Carolina. He ministers in Marion Prison Farms in Marion, South Carolina, and Bennettsville Federal Correctional Institution in Bennettsville, South Carolina.
He was also a mentor and counselor for the Conway Police Department C.S.T.A.N.D. program. Launched in 2013, the program title is an acronym for Conway Starting Toward a New Direction and is an application of the Drug Market Intervention program coordinated by the office of the United States Attorney General.
He was a panelist on the Bridging the Difference Program with Chief Kerr Putney CMPD and the keynote speaker for Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Central Carolinas 2019 Big Breakfast which raised over $250,000. It was said to be one of the best ever in the history of the annual breakfast event.
