“Repentant” former megachurch pastor Ted Haggard will make a “surprise groundbreaking” announcement next Wednesday from his home in Colorado Springs, Colo., a spokesperson reported Thursday.

It has been nearly four years since a former male prostitute claimed Haggard had paid him for sex over the course of three years and had also taken methamphetamines.

The highly-publicized drugs and sex scandal led to Haggard’s resignation from the presidency of the National Association of Evangelicals, forced him out of the church he founded, and moved him and his family into two years of seclusion.

Since late 2008, however, Haggard has been stepping back into the limelight…making waves when news spread of the prayer meetings he held last November at his home, just miles away from the church he had grown to become one of the most prominent in the nation.

According to a press release announcing next week’s media conference, Haggard is “now back” from obscurity and plans to publicly broadcast the upcoming “surprise announcement” with his family on Wednesday.

News of the press conference comes just a month after the Haggard’s home was listed as the site of the recently incorporated “St. James Church,” according to Colorado state documents.
