“Chuck caused me to realize no matter who we are or where we are, true life in Christ is found in being a vessel proclaiming the Good News of Christ.” —Mike
Twelve years ago today, we said goodbye to a man whose devotion to Christ and incarcerated people grew into Prison Fellowship®.
Chuck Colson radically converted to Christianity before serving time for his role in the Watergate scandal. The world remembers him as a tireless advocate, a brilliant writer, and a gifted visionary.
But to Mike, a death-row prisoner at San Quentin State Prison, Chuck was the man who stopped to talk—and whose love changed everything.
The men spoke for only 15 minutes, but many years later, Mike still remembers how inspired he was.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
