Prison Ministry - Chuck Colson Remembered

Charles "Chuck" Wendell Colson (1931 - 2012) was an Evangelical Christian leader who founded Prison Fellowship and BreakPoint. Prior to his conversion to Christianity, he served as Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973.

Christian Broadcasting Network founder Dr. Pat Robertson said he was saddened at the passing of his dear friend Chuck Colson.

In a statement, Robertson said, "For years Chuck has been a hero of the Christian faith, not only in theological understanding, but in the working out of the love of Jesus Christ to hundreds of thousands of prisoners throughout our nation. All of us who knew him will deeply mourn his passing, and extend our love and prayers to his dear wife, Patty.”
