WASHINGTON, DC, April 4, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Evangelical leader and frequent life and family spokesman Chuck Colson is in critical condition in hospital after undergoing surgery this weekend. He was hospitalized Friday after enduring a brain hemorrhage while speaking in Virginia at the Wilberforce Conference.
Colson underwent surgery on Saturday morning to remove a pool of clotted blood on the surface of his brain. Colson became ill while speaking at the Wilberforce Weekend conference on Friday night.
We believe that we serve a mighty God - the Great Physician - and are hoping and praying for Chucks full recovery. When I visited him yesterday, I was encouraged to see that as we prayed, Chuck was responsive, said Prison Fellowship Ministries CEO Jim Liske.
Penny Nance, President and CEO of Concerned Women for America, said in an email comment to LifeSiteNews: We are praying that God grants him a full recovery. Chuck is the one of the most influential Christian leaders of our time; he has influenced everyone from prisoners to business leaders, thought leaders, and politicians. CWA staff is lifting him up in prayer.
Brad Mattes of the Life Issues Institute told LifeSiteNews that Colson has been a shining example of where a Christian needs to be on the critical life issues and other moral and faith issues. He added, Our prayers are certainly with Chuck and his family.
Colson is listed in critical condition at this point but has shown some early signs of potential for recovery, said Michelle Farmer, Colsons spokesperson.
Amen
Thanks for the ping, wagglebee!
Bump to top for all prayer warriors
I think Colson has been a very top flight Christian since his imprisonment.
He took the humbling and disciplining of The Lord well and came out way ahead of most preachers, imho.
Amen......a good example to us all.
confused about the date. Did this happen last weekend? Said he had surgery Saturday.
Prayers for Colson and his healing. Prayers also sent for his family and friends.
Lord our God, please heal Thy servant Charles (Chuck) and extend his service to Thee.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Prayers
God bless this great man. In Jesus name. Amen
Praying for Chuck’s recovery!
Very sorry to hear this. I admire Mr. Colson and have a book or two of his on the shelf. I will pray for his recovery.
Sincerest prayers for him.
Win Win for Chuck! If God heals him good, if he doesn’t he goes Home to be with Jesus.
Prayers up, of course. The Lord sends us down some very strange and circuitous paths to a destination only He can see.
Love him... always have. My family and others are storming heaven praying for him.
Blessed Lord,
we ask your loving care and protection for those who are sick
in body, mind, or spirit and who desire our prayers.
Take from them all fears and help them put their trust in you,
that they may feel your strong arms around them.
Touch them with your renewing love,
that they may know wholeness in you and glorify your name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever.
AMEN.

Prayers up for Chuck and his family. He has helped so many with his ministry.
Prayers up for the man who was the biggest inspiration in my early years of my Christian Journey.
