Prison Fellowship partners with local churches across the country to minister to a group that society often scorns and neglects: prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. Prison Fellowship was founded by Chuck Colson, who served as special counsel to President Nixon and went to prison in 1974 for Watergate-related crimes. When Colson got out of prison, God radically redirected this former attorney’s career goals—leading him to go back to prison, this time to minister to the men and women behind bars. Established in 1976, Prison Fellowship has grown into the largest prison ministry in the world, partnering with thousands of churches and tens of thousands of volunteers.- Category ID : 457924
