"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?... there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:4, 7

Prison Mission Report!

 

Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ,

It has been brought to my attention that a "Prayer Section" would be appreciated. We can all use prayer. We are to pray for one another. Therefore, those inmates and free people who would like your prayer requests to be prayed over by all of us, please submit your prayer requests and I will put it into the next months issue under our "Prayer Section".

We are getting very close to the time of the end. Our Characters must be sinless if we are going to go through the time of trouble and be translated. Let us encourage each other and work hard for the salvation of all around us.

 

Ronald John,

I received your newsletter and "yes" I am very interested in receiving your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I do not have any money at all to be able to pay for it, or even the postage due. I am totally "indigent". Your book has so much information in it, plus it even has a Bible study course. If it would be possible, I’d truly like to receive your book.

Richard, CA

 

Dear Bro Ronald,

First I’d like to take the time to thank you for allowing me to study in your ministry. The book, "Change Your Life Biblically" is a God sent study in the truth of the gospel. There are so many questions that have frustrated me over many years about God’s Word, not only answered in this book, but cross referenced with numerous chapters and verses in the Bible. Allowing me to clearly and finally understand the how and why and the truth of Christ and His works. This book will be with me for a long time to come. My reference to not only mine, but other people’s questions to the Gospel, the truth and the way. This book has allowed me to finally put on my full suit of armor and my sword. All I can say is, What a blessing you and your book truly are. So bro Ronald, I hope you will excuse me if I’m a little tardy on returning my test in "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m half way through my second full reading of the book. It is really changing my life.

Stephen, CA

 

Dear Brother in Christ,

I received your letter asking if I could wait till I got to where I’m going to finish my time so it would not get sent back. But as it stands, I will not be going anywhere for at least two more months, maybe even longer because I have not even seen my counselor yet. Then it takes two to three weeks after that before I will leave. So I was wondering if you could go ahead and send me the work book because my cellie and I would like to do the book together before I leave. He has one of the workbooks now. That is why I would like one before I go. We have our own Bible study every night in our cell and would like to include the workbook in with it.

Kenneth, CA

 

Hey Ron,

I hope your doing good. I’ve been giving people stamps to get your book. A lot of people received them. I pray the Lord looks after you. Also, I’ve been giving them 10 stamps to show them how we are supposed to walk as Christians. I’m running out of people to give my tithes to so I’ll send you some tithes so you can spread the good news in a few weeks.

Larry, CA

 

Dear Brother Ronald,

Thank you for writing to me and letting me know the procedure to receive the workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I would really like to receive a copy, however, I am totally indigent. I am enclosing a copy of my trust account reflecting the fact that I have no money on my books. I also do not have any help or support from the outside. Would it be possible to have the shipping costs waived? I would greatly appreciate it.

Paul, CA

 

Dear Fellow Christian,

I recently viewed a fellow inmate’s copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". I would be interested in receiving a complimentary copy. Thank you.

Luis, CA

 

Dear Ronald John,

I just want to thank you for the books you sent me. I have been reading it. It has been giving me knowledge and strength each day I read the workbook.

Issac, CA

 

Hello Brother Ron,

I have been reading your book the Lord put on your heart to write. It is great. I’ve made a vow to keep Saturday holy to Him. OK, there is a brother here that would like to get your book, "Change You Life Biblically". Can you please send it to him? I believe that it would lift his spirits in the Lord. He is my neighbor and I’ve been sharing the Word to him. It would be so good.

Ron, CA

 

Dear John,

I have received your letter and was glad to hear from you. I am totally indigent. Can you please send me the workbook? I have looked at the workbook. I like them.

Joseph, CA

 

Ronald John,

I’m writing because I would like to receive my own Bible, please. I do think your book was great and opened my eyes. Thank you so very much. I have a couple brothers here that would like to receive a copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". They are indigent and have no money. I am asking on their behalf to please send them a copy.

Andre, CA

 

Brother,

I would like to receive your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I am still a babe in Christ and I would really like to know Him better and what I can better do to serve Him. I am a 5th timer and I’m very tired of this life. I accepted Christ into my heart and only want to learn truth. I saw a copy of your book and only got to thumb through it. The brother said that’s all I could do and that I had to write to you for a new one. I would really be happy to receive it and grow in Christ.

Eddie, CA

 

To Whom it Concerns,

I’m an alcoholic who keeps getting violated for drinking. I’m a God fearing man and desperately need God to change my life. I have a loving wife that won’t take much more of this. It may even be to late. But I pray God will have a hand in our marriage. Please send me your Bible course on ways to change my life through God. I want a better and free life.

Mike, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

It was great to hear from you again. And again my apologies goes to you for my late reply. Time goes by so fast that when I realized I needed to write you, it had already been 10 days. I can’t believe how fast time seems to pass here. I am glad to hear that more people are asking for your book. That is true music to my ears. Thank you for your advice on what I should be doing on the Sabbath. What you said actually made me realize what I needed to do. Get my own Bible study group. I’ve been speaking to some people, and though the result seems to come slow, they are starting to see the truth of the Bible. It won’t be long before I’ll have a Sabbath group going.

Timmy, CA

 

Hello There,

I came across your address through another inmate who showed me a book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was wondering if by any chance there was a way to receive a copy of that? I am a strong believer in Christ. I have come to except Him into my life and have made the decision to change and turn my life over to God whole hearted. A book as such would be deeply and very much appreciated.

Ramon, CA

 

Dear Ron,

Once again I want to say thank you so very much for your kind words and support. You are so right, my release is in God’s will and not my own. Do you know when I received your book again yesterday it was such a blessing? This morning I went out in the day room and a few people seen your book. They asked about it and I explained how your ministry started. One girl was talking about how she doesn’t believe about the tithes and why she should pay someone to teach her. Well, that was my chance to get all into it. In any case, I told her don’t worry about the funds, I got her covered, but the learning experience she will get out of this book will be the beginning of so much more. Like I’ve told you in the past, I know I have been ordained to have my own ministry. That is the reason I fell in love with the book. It is because you go more in depth with the Bible. So, if you can send me more books or studies I would love it so much. Enclosed you will find a check for $50 to cover for the books being requested. Yes, I’m sponsoring people (10+) to God and give Him all the glory.

Rosalinda, NJ

 

Brother Ronald John,

The Holy Spirit has been prompting me to write. Congratulations on the victory in the courts that God has given. We now have three change your life biblically books in this wing. Some of the men studying it are having a rough time with it because they’re not use to searching the scriptures. But that’s why I liked the book. It’s not some easy correspondence pamphlet. Its truth is what got my attention. Being obedient to God’s Commands and having a faith which produces works is vital, and many churches aren’t teaching correctly. They’re too busy trying to give their congregations a warm cozy feeling instead of letting God’s Spirit pierce the hearts of men. So I wanted to thank you and encourage you. A volunteer missionary who by your help has learned not only to talk the talk, but to walk the walk. I’m learning how to be an effective witness for Christ. It was during these last 15 months that I found a copy of your book. I realized that I was playing games with God. God will not tolerate wickedness or sin in my life. When Jesus comes back to establish His kingdom, I want to be there. The Holy Spirit has used JCPM to bring another lost sheep back to the Shepherd and I appreciate the work you do for Christ. I also want to buy another book and have it sent to my sister soon. She is in the free world, but I know she’d appreciate it. I usually get a little help from the family in November or December and that’s when I’m going to buy stamps and get a copy of that book in my family’s hands.

Anthony, NV

 

Dear Sir,

I am writing because I was talking to another inmate who was praising your "Change Your Life Biblically". I desperately want to change my life. Can you send me a copy of "Change Your Life Biblically"?

Kurt, CA

 

JCPM,

I received this pamphlet from another inmate at another state prison. He told me a little, basically what he knew about Jesus Christ Prison Ministry. I had a friend who will sit with me whenever he had the chance and explain the Word to me. So I was hoping that with this workbook it will help me open my eyes and heart and mind. I want to turn my whole life around to Jesus Christ. I ask if this ministry can help me.

Costel, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I am a new born Christian. I recently got out of the hole and I want the Lord to continue to work in my life. I’m so tired of pain, loneliness and sorry. I tasted that the Lord is good so I’d rather continue in His ways. My cell partner gave me your address to write to you. He said you might be able to help me out.

Jesus, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

It was good to hear from you;. I have started and continue to be obedient to the Lord’s call in life. Thank you for your prayers in my struggle. Now, I wrote a kite to the property office cause they are now in charge of all religious material, I was told. This is what I wrote them: I have been trying to get a ministry approved to send Bible studies. What do I need to do to get them approved? Every time they, "Jesus Christ Prison Ministry", sends me books or Bible studies, they get sent back to them. Can you please look over this situation and get back with me on it? Also, what is the policy for ministries here at MSP? Can you send me a copy of the policy for ministries please? Please look over the form I sent you on this wonderful prison ministry and help me get them approved. Thank you and God be with you. Edward,

Staff’s response was, "you need to kite Tom Wilson at the RAC."

So I did and I sent him the same message as above. All I’m waiting on is another response back. As soon as I get a response I’ll send you and the attorney all copies of the kites I sent. So far I have four kites I sent out with just run around responses. What should I do brother Ron?

Well brother just so you know, I’m working on it. I don’t know if the other inmates got your book or not. So let me know if they did or didn’t.

Edward, MT

(As you folks can see, getting our books into prison is not easy. We praise the Lord for the court ruling in our favor in California. But as you can see we have many more states and prisons that are working for the devil and causing us great problems in getting these books in. Montana, Missouri, and others. So please pray that God will open the doors. We are also slogging away here trying to reach our goal of $50,000 the get the books printed before we run out of the old ones. Thank you all for your love and kindness in supporting us.)

 

JCPM,

I am sorry to say that I am indigent. I hope you can still send me the "Change Your Life Biblically" book. I have seen and read part of it and I really would love to have a copy. So please send me one. Thank you for your time.

Mike, CA

 

Dear Sirs:

I recently ran across a copy of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was only able to read a few pages. But what I read deeply moved me and gave me a better understanding. I would truly like to have a copy of your book if its anyway possible.

John, GA

(Folks, if these inmates keep "running across" any more of my books, there are going to be a lot of tire marks.)

 

JCPM,

I am sorry to say that I’m indigent. I hope you will be able to send me a copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". I had a chance to read part of it and I really would love to receive a copy.

Alan, CA

 

Brother John,

I received the address for JCPM from a fellow inmate. I was informed of a volume titled, "Change Your Life Biblically" and that I may also be able to pursue a pastoral course through your ministry.

Anthony, NY

 

Dear Brother Ronald John,

Thank you for the letter you sent me. You made my days. It was like the second day that I had been working in the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I had never read history before. Right now I stopped reading and doing other things because God has put in my heart to work hard on the book, "Change Your Life Biblically. I’m on page 40 right now in the book. I finished about "grace". That’s new to me. I really thank you for what you are doing through the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". God is blessing others through you. I thank you for your words. It makes me feel that I’m not alone. If they send me back to El Salvador, I do want to serve the Lord as a missionary for Jesus and for this ministry. For sure I will contact you when I get settled. And yes, we can open an English school and use the book, "Change Your Life Biblically" as the "English book". I will be praying too that someday the books can be translated into Spanish. I will write you often to let you know what I am learning and how I am putting into practice what I am learning. Thank you for the book.

Juber, CA

(Folks, please pray with me that God will put it into a heart of an inmate who will be getting out soon to come and work in this little ministry as our translator: Spanish to English and English to Spanish.)

JCPM,

I got your letter and want to thank you for getting back to me so fast. I will have about 5 guys sending in those forms. I am trying to get guys in this jail to learn the truth. The workbook you have is perfect for a couple of reasons. The web site gives them the incentive to "really" study when they probably wouldn’t put that much effort into it. Especially when it comes to topics they don’t like hearing about like Sabbath, who is the Antichrist, be perfect, etc. I am trying to get as much commandment keeping material as I can up in this jail as I can because they have nothing but : once saved always saved, Sunday sabbath, you will always sin, celebrate holidays, all that doctrine in here. Thank you,

Danny, CA

 

Brother Ronald,

I wanted to write to say you and your ministry are in my prayer. I’ve been well, blessed. I thanked you already for the letter of support. I realized long ago I may die here. I have Christ now and hope of eternal life. So I must show up to this hearing and bring the support of family & friends. I know I’ll be denied, but I still must show up. Thanks for the support Ron. Your letters are always uplifting and encouraging. I pray for you and your ministry and all that do the study. It has helped me to see Jesus clearly apart from all I was confused about, was mislead, lied to about. I’ve been doing my part here as much as I can to tell people about Christ. There are a lot of different responses but I’ll keep doing it.

Richard, CA

 

Dear Sir,

I’m writing to let your office know that I got everything you sent me. I started the Bible study. It may take me two or three times reading it before I take the test. My reading is very low. Thank you very much,

Robert, CA

 

Ron,

I am sorry to report the cops in AD/Seg took my book that you sent me. I am broke, but I will send in a book of stamps when I get some just like I did last time when I said I would. I need another copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". I was half way done with the test in the back. They moved me to the Arizona/Mexico Border. I hate it here. :-(   I really love that book. It explains things in a way anybody can understand.

Adam, CA

 

Ronald,

We are doing Bible studies here, thanks to God. We are doing Bible studies here thanks to your book. We love you brother Ronald. Please send me your book to work.

Jose, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

Thank you for your letter. They always make a day better. I’m writing and sending you stamps because I want to share the blessings of your book with a friend and brother in Christ. I keep talking about your book and he wants me to let him read it. But I cannot let it out of my hands. So will you please send one to him. I sure would appreciate that. I’ll make it a point to get more stamps to you soon.

Richard, CA

 

Dear Bro Ron,

Thank you so much for answering my letter so fast. I would think you were to busy with your ministry to find the time like you did. But that just shows your true character. You obviously care about us who are getting to know the truth about Jesus. Praise God. I have never come across any Bible courses, studies, etc., that are so "in your face", "There it is", "See for yourself", "Truth". You’re the one who put that together, Brother Ron? Like no one ever has! God surely guided you in your studies; blessing you and because of that every one that has the opportunity to read your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" will surely be blessed also. I’m sure a ministry like yours, being so unique, can only grow and grow. Who can argue with the true Word of our Father? Only the blind and demonic possessed people who are "afraid" of the truth. I myself have so much more to learn so I can be able to spread the gospel to others. Helping others to understand what God expects from us in order to go into His Kingdom. Brother Ron, the last 27 years I’ve never spent more than 6 months at a time in the free world. I’m on my 3rd CDC. The reason is because of prison gangs. I’ve been stabbed and a few years ago my "so called brothers" turned on me. You are going to help so many people find peace in their lives. All because of the effort you put into your ministry, the study book and of course for reaching out to us who have been searching for the truth through out our lives

Steven, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

I received the certificate today. Thank you. I liked the book marks with my name on them. We have three other brothers in this unit. We try to look out and help each other out the best we can. I’m locked up in this cell 24/7. It’s hard to talk to people. Where I’m at a lot of these men have hardened their hearts and turned their face away from Jesus and all they do is focus on evil thoughts and desires. I’ve given a couple of the pamphlets out. One dude ordered your book. I don’t know about the rest.

Anthony, NV

 

To Whom it may concern,

My name is Rachel. My friend was showing me her book and gave me your address to write to get my own to be able to start changing my life. Please send me a copy.

Rachel, VA

 

Ronald John,

May the Lord continue to bless you and give you the desires of your heart. After years of doing wrong in and out and in institutions of confinement, I’m trying to change my life for the better. I’m an ex-Crip member. I started claiming a gang in the 3rd or 4th grade and by the 5th I was carrying guns and doing drugs. It’s a lot of clutter in my life, especially being now I’m in jail.

DeShauwn, CA

 

Dear Brother John,

I am writing about your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I have been locked up for a year now and I just recently saw your book. Wow! My eyes have really been opened. My friend is going to be moved to another facility and will take the book with him. There is so much more I want to study to find the truth. I don’t have any money or stamps right now, but if I can find a way to help I will. Is there any way you can send me a copy? I want to use what I learn to lead others to God and the truth. I believe in the Saturday Sabbath.

Troy, LA

 

JCPM,

I just rolled up here. My cellie told me about your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I would really be interested in studying this book of yours. I hope to hear from you soon.

Don, CA

 

To Whom it may Concern,

Another brother in Christ shared this ministry with me and I liked it.

James, CA

 

I want to thank each of you for your love and support of this ministry. By the 14th of March we were down about 50% from normal. I was getting anxious. But then the Lord really touched hearts and funds began coming in. I realize that during this recession it will be tough on all of us. Especially with food and gas going through the clouds. It is hard on this little ministry. Thank you for your love and continued support. Inmates thank you.

Love in Christ,

 

Ron

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
