About Me
PFM, consisting of its prison ministry, Prison Fellowship, and its Christian worldview ministry, BreakPoint, seeks to transform lives, minds, and communities through Jesus Christ.
Born out of the Watergate crisis, PFM was founded by Charles W. Colson in 1976 as Prison Fellowship. During Watergate, Colson’s life was changed forever when he accepted Christ as Savior. After his incarceration for a Watergate-related offense, Colson was moved to share with prisoners the very faith that sustained him during his incarceration. Within a few short years, Prison Fellowship had become the world’s largest Christian ministry to prisoners and their families.
During the 1980s, Colson grew more and more convinced that America’s increasingly relativistic, post-modern culture was fueling the rapid growth of the nation’s crime rates and prison populations. In 1992, Colson began a daily radio commentary called BreakPoint, which addresses current events and trends from a Christian worldview perspective. Today, through radio commentaries, curricula, the Centurions program, and robust web content, BreakPoint seeks to equip Christians with a thoroughly biblical worldview so they can begin to impact and transform the culture.
