Volume 11, Issue 8 / August 2008 "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."

Prison Mission Report!
Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ,
Last month we prayed for Rubin and his family who were living in a car. He writes, "I wanted to thank you for the offer on letting my folks stay at the ministry. Got some great news. My folks have been blessed with an apartment. Now they are happy and doing well. God bless. It’s been nearly 4 years since they’ve had their own place. Thank you brother for putting my prayer request in the July newsletter."
Dear Fellow Christian: Ronald,
I appreciate you sending me the application for your free study course. I, unfortunately at the moment, am totally indigent. I am sending all my mail out by indigent envelopes supplied with my weekly welfare kit supplied by the county. May I still receive your study course? I have handed out to other inmates order forms for your Bible course. They have the funds for the stamps. I would truly love to work for your ministry here in jail in any way possible.
Michael, CA
JCPM,
I saw your pamphlet on the yard in our Bible group that meets there. I was not able to get a pamphlet for myself, but wrote down the information and prayed sincerely to my Lord Jesus Christ if this was a direction that was His will to have me go.
Roger, CA
Brother Ronald John,
I am reading your book. Your book is going to take lots of study for me. I will be reading that book for years. It seems to me that you lean more towards Sabbath keepers. I got to tell you, I argued with those people for years about the Seventh day Sabbath. And now I agree with them. What’s funny about it is it took me to claim "non-denomination" before I could see the truth. I was so busy defending a sabbath that I couldn’t support with any means. I just couldn’t see the truth. Now it is clear to me as the day is long. In fact, with what I have read, I don’t see how they can refuse the Seventh day Sabbath. It could be because of what they were taught all their lives and they are just plain stubborn about it. I know I was. I feel better about myself knowing that I have found a lot of answers to my studies. But the sad part is my family they go to church on Sunday and some how I have got to get through to them that Saturday is the Sabbath. I know one thing, I said something about the 4th commandment to a friend and it was like touching the wrong button. So you see I got a job to do. It’s going to take a long time.
Harry, WA
Ronald,
I want to thank you for sending me the books. I got it before the letter you wrote. I got the letter one day after I got the book. I ask you if you got the book in Spanish. There are people here that don’t speak English or read English. They ask me if they can get it in Spanish. My celly is one of them. I’m helping him but there are words in English that are hard for me to translate. I have learned a lot from your book. Things that I didn’t know. I have done a lot of bad things and I thank God that I am still alive. Now I’m gonna do 18 years in prison. I am 22 years old. You seem to be a good man and what you are doing is a good work for God. The book, it helped me to understand the Bible better and how God wants me to be. It is hard for me to apply things to my heart and mind, but step by step I’m going there. I’m learning more how to control myself from my attitude, anger, hate and all that is not easy. But I can do it because I got a Friend named Jesus.
Lenin, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I am a new born Christian. A good friend of mine told me about your ministry. I would like to request your information on your Bible study.
Robert, TX
Dear Sir,
I received your address through the chaplain here. I am very interested in doing Bible studies to further my spiritual growth in the Lord. I would like to do your Bible study and I was told to ask about the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". Please send it and any other information you may have.
George, TX
Dear Brother in Christ Ronald,
I’m a 3rd striker and have been incarcerated this time since 1996 with a 35 years to life sentence. Not long ago I went to the shower and found a paper left there about your ministry. I got it and I wrote you. I thought it was a Bible course like all others I’ve seen over the years. I didn’t know what you got to offer upon completion of your workbook until you wrote me. I did pass those pamphlets you sent me to other inmates in hopes that they write you. I’m 37 years old and have been in the system since 1987. Please send me your workbook.
Armando, CA
My Brother in Christ Jesus,
I am writing to say "Thank you" for sending me the best Bible study that I have ever laid my hands on. I know deep in my heart that God put this bible study in my hands because He wants me to know the truth and for me to live a righteous, Ten Commandment life. I am about half way into my study in the book. I’m starting the part about the Sanctuary Brought Low. I am really getting a lot out of what I am reading. And as you recommended, I am going to read it all over again before I send my answer sheets back.
Victor, CA
Hello,
I can’t remember the name of your book, but a brother down the tier from me let me check it out and I couldn’t put it down. Any way, he wound up getting kicked back out to the yard and he wasn’t willing to leave it behind. So I’m writing in hopes that you can send me a copy. As you can probably tell from my postage, I’m to the curb and indigent. Thanks for the work that you are doing in bring the good news of the kingdom of God to fellows here in prison. I want you to know that you are helping to change lives and bring people into the family of God. So don’t get discouraged because I know for a fact that God is reaching people’s hearts and minds through your work.
Lawrence, CA
Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters,
My cellmate has a copy of the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". Personally, I think that it is the best book I have seen in this place, besides the Bible. Please send me a copy of the book.
Erick, CA
Dear Sir,
I’m writing concerning your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I heard about it from a friend and he gave me your address.
Robert, GA
To Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I happen to come across your address as well as the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I just got to thumb through it quickly, but I see that it is a good book with a lot of wonderful information. I myself am a baby Christian trying to get a hold of whatever Christian literature I can. I really want to walk with Jesus Christ. I have come to a point in my life that I’m tired of the madness and everything that comes behind it. I want to be happy and praise God.
Robert, CA
Ron John,
I have just finished volume I, and "yikes", I had it so wrong. I just praise God for the truth. This modern day "Christians" had me believing I could be saved and still sin. How far from the truth. Again, I just thank and praise Jesus for the truth: Stop Sinning, Be Perfect and Obey the Lord’s Commands. Amen. Well, your letter said to write often. I’m just checking in with you. Thank you for putting the truth out there. Please pray for me that I get rooted in the truth and live as Jesus "perfect".
Nick, CA
Hey,
I would love for you to send me one of your Change Your Life workbooks. I have heard great things and now I am very hungry for the knowledge.
Felicia, UT
Ronald John,
A very good friend of mine turned me on to your ministry which hopefully I could be a part of with your inmate program. I am writing to you in hopes to receive the workbook you have to offer. I am totally indigent. Please, may receive your workbook?
Geno, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I’m just writing this short letter to thank you for all that you have done for me through your ministry. It was a joy to do the Bible study, "Change Your Life Biblically", and has been a great help. I will continue to read it over and over. God has really moved your spirit to write this study and I pray that many men and women get a chance to read and take part in this Bible study. I am sending my web site paper and a few other things for you to put up for me. I would also like the Bible that you offer and any address for any Bible studies that you might have. Brother, could you refer someone to my web site please just to get it going. Please, Please. I would like to help in any way I can once I’m out or even know if you need me. I am bilingual.
Jose, TX
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I barely received the "Change Your Life Biblically" work book today and am on page 18 about God being 3 persons. You have been given heavenly discernment of the Scriptures. Glory to God Almighty. I have never read a book deeply rooted in the Bible, yet so simply put. Thank you for your book. I’m gonna really learn more than what I thought I knew. Thank you.
Armando, CA
Dearest Ron,
I spoke with my sister (whom ordered me the book, again). She ordered it for me before but when we transferred I had to donate it. I truly enjoy the "Change Your life Biblically". You really have to study and I enjoy that. She told me you were sending her a book and a DVD as well. Sure wish I could see the DVD right now. But I’m sure she will have it when I get home this year.
Toni, AL
Hello to you,
I have been in prison for 22 months. I have heard so, so much about the JCPM and the Christian Training Center. I like to call myself a seeker of the truth. I want to work for Jesus in this ministry.
Michael, UT
To JCPM,
I am a lifer and I just got out of the SHU after three years. I was handed this order sheet for this book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m filling the order form out and I’m praying that you’d be willing to bless me with a copy of this book. I’m an indigent inmate and I can not pay for the cost of your book or the shipping and handling. However God inclines your heart to learn, I will pray for the sevenfold Spirit to move mightily in your ministry as well as your personal lives of the staff.
Greg, CA
( Sorry Greg, no staff here. I left them at the Red Sea. :-) )
Dear Brother Ron,
I received your short note today and as usual was happy to hear from you. I am getting "short" as you said. I will go back home soon. I will have approximately 5 weeks in a halfway house. You will still have time to drop me one more letter. All of the ladies who have received your book here love it. They are giving me wonderful feedback that the book is helping them in their walk with God. I feel honored and privileged to have been able to do a small part with the weekly stamp donation. Please find 50 stamps enclosed. With your hard work and dedication and a few stamps from me I feel we have been able to get your book into a few person’s hands who will use it to get to know Him better. I love your ministry and I appreciate you and your "staff". You are the greatest. My only sorrow is that so many don’t know Him and what He can do in their lives. Please keep up your hard work. I will stay in touch and continue to help from home as soon as I can.
Robin, CA
Dear Ron,
During the reading of this anointed book, I couldn’t put it down. I began reading and reading and I began to cry and cry and cry and repent of sins I have committed like never before. I felt the need to cry to God and felt clean afterwards. Thank you.
Armando, CA
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Charles Liverman. I am the Facility Chaplain for the Adelanto Correctional Facility here in Adelanto, CA I received your newsletter from an inmate today. I am writing to see if anyone in your ministry would be interested in a Prison Ministry. I am always looking for outside ministries to come inside these walls to minister. We currently have 19 churches here now, but need more. If you are interested please contact me. Thanks for your time and praise God for your ministry.
Charles
Facility Chaplain
Brother,
I’m interested in your input on Christ. I’m wondering if you can enlighten me more about God and send me this "Change Your Life Biblically". I never have heard the name "Biblically". It caught my attention.
Victor., CA
Brother Ron,
Hello my brother. This letter is to let you know that I’m being blessed mightily through reading the big book I received. And to let you know that I try to be a man of my word because God is always the truth. Since I follow the word Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life that leads us to the Father, who has made it possible for me to be the believer I am today, my brother, the indwelling Spirit with has taught me how to be more responsible as a man. So here is a small step forward in my Christian walk. Because Jesus Christ Prison Ministry has by faith sent me this wonderful teaching material on credit, I have no choice but to send this $5 check I promised to send when I received my blessings. Thank you very much for trusting my word brother Ron.
Darren, TX
JCPM,
I pray for you and think of you often. I hope you have a blessed holiday season. May God continue to use you to help and encourage others. My son Daniel is doing very well as he is on his journey with God and changing his life. Please pray for him. Thank you & God bless.
Deborah, CA
(Deborah had asked me to send a book to her son who is in prison. I did and now it appears that God’s wonderful transforming work is being carried out in Daniel’s life. It is wonderful to hear from families of the change taking place in those in prison.)
Dear Sir,
Request for more copies of "Change Your Life Biblically". Please we of the above church have had the chance of having a copy of your book named above. In fact, you have emphatically shown us the difference in the given of the Gospel facts. Please, your book has truly impressed me and others, even my church members too for it gives all facts about salvation. So we as a church need more copies. We also need to share with others both in the faith and outside. We are also embarking on a great crusade at the end of this year.

Dear Ron,
I love my book and I’m going to continue to read it and reread it again and again. My spirit agreed with it’s contents. I at first did have a bit of hesitation with the 7th day Sabbath. But I will continue to study this out. I believe everything you spoke on about the Catholic Church and the pope. This book is a blessing and it has richly blessed me. I’m not done being blessed by its contents. I want to thank God and you Ronald John, for blessing me with what the Holy Spirit of our God has of a truth blessed you with.
Robert, CA
Dear Ron,
Wow, what else can I say. I am just beginning the workbook and I can’t put it down.
Christine, Ca.
Dear Brother Ron,
It gladdens my heart to receive such a personal letter from you. To me, at this early stage in my walk with Christ, there are few "Christians" whom I can trust with the truth. Well, I’ve tested and probed your teaching, or Jesus’ teachings, cause that’s what we are to teach. I love you for the personal trusting relationship you’ve shown me. Praise God. I have finished the answer sheet and am turning it in. Although I don’t want nothing in return, shoot you’ve given me life, opening my eyes to the truth of Jesus’ teachings. I’ve been passing on what was so freely given to me. Just would like to thank you for the truth. I can no longer go on sinning, and I don’t want to. I want to walk as Jesus did. Praise God. It amazes me that I would be chosen to be a child of God. But none the less I have a work to do now. In Jesus’ words, I must be about my Father’s business.
Nickolas, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I have recently received your workbook and have read it once and have already started through the second time. It has really opened my eyes and heart to the Lord Jesus. Recently my wife wrote to you and asked you to send her a workbook. She said that she didn’t have the stamps to spare. But I think her eternal life is way more important than a book of stamps. So I have managed to scrape up a little help from the Lord, a book of stamps, and would be very grateful if you could send her a workbook. I’m putting her name on the flyer that I have folded in this letter along with a book of stamps. I will send more stamps and with the help of the Lord maybe some $$, I hope. Thank you so much for the time and research you have done to write this book.
Paul, LA
Dear Ron,
I have enjoyed your "Change Your Life Biblically" study course. I have gained a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the Bible more and better. This is a study course that takes a great deal of time. It has definitely been worth the 19 months of work that I took to complete this study. I had to go and do a lot of my own research and get a better understanding in the history parts of this course. I hope that anyone else who takes this study will enjoy and gain the extra knowledge that I have. You have done a great job in putting this study course together. I am referring other people to your course. I hope they send for it. We need all the knowledge and wisdom and understanding of God’s Word. It is the only way to have eternal life.
Charles, FL
Dear Ron,
I’ve heard many good things about this book. My friends tell me to write to get my own. They agree that learning to praise and know God is the best.
Rob, TX
Jesus Christ Ministry,
I found a letter that was sent to one of your students. I was intrigued by the testimonies included with said correspondence. I’ve completed many Bible studies through the mail. I’ve graduated from Set Free and Way of Life. I never lose the desire to learn more. So I’m writing this to inquire what is involved to receive the "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook.
Craig, CA
JCPM
I’m writing to you about a free volume of "Change Your Life Biblically". My celly let me look through his book. I sure would like to receive my own. Thank you for wanting to help me in my walk.
Terry, TX
Sir,
I am writing to ask for "Change Your Life Biblically". I must tell you the only reason I am able to write is the state gives free indigent envelopes. I am broke financially but rich in the treasures of the Lord. I have been seeking God diligently since I have been down and believe your book can help me or I wouldn’t ask for it.
Tom, CA
Hi,
I am writing to you to request your workbook entitled, "Change Your Life Biblically". I have no stamps or money to send to you to help pay for the cost of the book’s shipping fee. But be assured that I would be extremely gratefully for your book. I would promise to use all the teachings that your workbook offers to help me grow in knowledge, truth in the Word of God So that I may receive much more rejoicing in the salvation I have received through Christ.
Anthony, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I’m 21 years old and I just got sentenced to 10 years. When I was fighting my case, I came across a friend of mine who introduced me to your book. I must admit that the book is terrific. I sent some mail to you and you responded back saying that you need a fee. No problem. The book is worth every penny. Please send me whatever you can because I really want God in my life. I appreciate everything you do and I send my utmost respect and gratitude.
Eric, CA
Greetings Saint,
A Christian yokefellow named Ed was in church with me this evening and I saw him with your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I just had to ask for your address so I could write and ask for a copy.
Jason, WA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
A fellow brother in Christ had your Bible study. I looked at it and felt it would be a helpful tool for me. I have been in prison 20 years now. I would like to ask for you to send me "Change Your Life Biblically".
Harold, WA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I am writing this letter to you in regards to your Bible study program. I have witnessed the outcome of your study. I am very interested in seeking out the truth. So, if you could help enlighten me or assist me in doing so, please write me and let me know.
Richard, CA
To Whom it may concern,
I found this flyer in the trash and I picked it out because I am interested in changing my ways. And I would love to obtain your free book so I may gain more knowledge as well as wisdom from the Lord.
Danny, CA
To Whom it may Concern,
I would like to receive "Change Your Life Biblically". Chris told me about your ministry and showed me the book and felt it to be interesting to read. I would like to get "Change Your Life Biblically".
Tim, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
Find enclosed $500 for your ministry. Use it for mailings, books, correspondence, etc. Get more material into the hands of inmates. Help let them know more about the love of Jesus, His requirements and His salvation. Keep up the good work and may He continue to bless your ministry. Thank you for your newsletter. It tells it like it is.
Frank, CO, Non-inmate
Dear Folks,
It is with sad heart that I must report that Juan has left the ministry and returned to the world. The ministry now has an opening for a young man, 18-20 or so, who would like to come and fill that position. How true it is, so few will be saved. Everyone wants to be saved, but very few are willing to fulfill the requirements that God has laid down for our salvation.
Another wonderful opportunity has also presented itself. A family has requested that I come and share with their church the story of this ministry and all that the Spirit has placed on my heart. They are raising the funds and inviting people to a Sabbath potluck. Pray that God will permit me to go and share what He has given me.
Love in Christ,
Ron
