An Amazing Fact: Known as Richard Nixon’s “hatchet man” and the
“evil genius” behind the notorious Watergate break-in, Chuck Colson was
convicted in 1974 and served seven months in prison. During this time, a
friend introduced Colson to Jesus—and the felon experienced a dramatic
conversion. Moved with compassion for his fellow prisoners, Colson went
on to found Prison Fellowship, which became the nation’s largest Christian
prison ministry. In 2000, Florida Governor Jeb Bush pardoned Colson,
restoring his full civil rights.
Dear friend,
Today I want to tell you about Dennis, and how God used you to save, transform, and restore
the life of this former drug dealer.
Nothing inspires me more than seeing how radically lives are transformed by the power
of the Holy Spirit. And what’s incredible is how God invites you and me to be part of this
amazing process!
It’s true! Every single day, you help thousands of precious souls know God through the
ministry of Amazing Facts. Some fi nd liberating truth through our websites, some through
our Bible School, some through our TV and radio broadcasts—and some, like Dennis, through
watching an Amazing Facts evangelistic DVD.
The sad truth is that the devil wants each of us dead. But thank God, Jesus off ers us eternal
life. “He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come
into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24). And you helped Dennis make that
“death to life” transition!
I believe his story of transformation will greatly bless you as it has me …
Always in Trouble
“I was always getting into trouble,” Dennis says. When he was just four-years-old, he and his
older brother decided to pick fl owers from the neighbor’s yard. When the neighbor called the
cops, the brothers were so angry they decided to set their neighbor’s garage on fi re.
