50 Years of Prison Fellowship: How Justice, Mercy, and Hope Shaped a Movement
I found myself increasingly drawn to the idea that God had put me in prison for a purpose and that I should do something for those I had left behind.
—Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship
From serving as special counsel to the president of the United States to serving seven months in federal prison for Watergate-related crimes, Chuck had reached his lowest point.
Those few months in prison stirred in him a new calling.
After walking free, Chuck spent the rest of his days inspiring people to encounter Jesus with those impacted by incarceration.
As we celebrate 50 years of Prison Fellowship®, Chuck’s original conviction drives our passion today: to see local churches walking in step with the Body of Christ behind bars and experiencing God’s transforming power together.
