LANSDOWNE, Va., April 18, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jim Liske, CEO of Prison Fellowship Ministries, gave the following update this morning to the staff and supporters of Prison Fellowship, Justice Fellowship, and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview:
“Dear Friends:
It is with a heavy, but hopeful heart that I share with you that it appears our friend, brother, and founder will soon be home with the Lord. Chuck’s condition took a decided turn yesterday, and the doctors advised Patty and the family to gather by his bedside.

I’ve always respected Colson for his active repentance for the things he did under Nixon and for his ministry that resulted.
A good man. May the Lord’s peace be upon him and his family.
Prayers for Chuck, family and friends.
“As Chuck would say, ‘Remain at your posts and do your duty—for the glory of God and His kingdom’”
the stuff that they get away with now would make Coulson worthy of promotion these days
His promotion is very close. The evil ones got their promotion here which last for just a moment, his is forever.
Chuck Colson was very instrumental in my own spiritual awaking about 12 years ago. I stopped listening to sports radio shows and tuned into WYLL. I HAD to listen to his 2 minute Breakpoint spot every morning just before 7am.
Always provocative, concise & right on target for God’s Truth. WYLL stopped carrying his Breakpoint broadcasts & I fell out of the habit of listening to him but I still love reading his books.
Truly a giant in Christian leadership!
Prayers Up!
Job 12:10 ~ In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
May the Spirit of Comfort surround Chuck and his family, and all who love him, with the warmth of Christ's love. Amen ...
Chuck Colson has taken a turn for the worse. Please keep Chuck and his family in your prayers.
Thank you and God Bless.
Been a dedicated contributor to Angel Tree for years and I try to keep up with the daily BreakPoint, last was 04/05/12, “Resurrection Hope,” a repost from April 10, 2009. God Bless you Chuck and God Speed my friend.
Prayers going up!
Amen
A great man of God...
Prayers up for him.
Prayers for Mr. Colson and that his suffering be eased.
God be with Chuck Colson.
Dear Lord God, please help, save, and embrace your servant.
“The earth will be losing a multitude of Christians soon enough. I hope you’re among us! :)”
It took a minute to realize what you meant. Yes, methinks sooner rather than later.
And also prayers up for Chuck and family.
Dr. Thorne, I believe you are correct that we are the generation that will witness the return of Christ.
The man who boasted he would “walk over my own grandmother” to get Nixon reelected. Seems like he reformed after his prison term and went on to be a good citizen, but we should remember the bad along with the good.
