"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
PRAISE THE LORD
Prison Mission Report!
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Were we are in December. I want to take this time to thank each of you for your love and support throughout the year. Because of your love and support, we were able to finish the infrastructure that we needed in order to prepare the space for the new books. God bless each of you who gave so willingly and so mightily.
As you can see we are not getting very close to our goal of what is needed to get the new books printed. With your continued help we hope to be able to reach that goal soon and be able to get the new books. We are also hoping to be able then to send off the old books to the many ministries and people waiting for the old books over seas.
I pray that you will not forget this little ministry at this time of year. How easy it is to get caught up in "Christmas" and forget that without your continued support we will not be able to pay our bills and keep the books going out to inmates.
God bless each of you as we continue working for Him.
Dear Bro Ronald,
I received your letter and I understand the terms. I am truly indigent. The last helper I had was my mother and she passed away. Brother Ron, I will still try to send what I can when I can.
Eddie, TX
(The following letter came from one of our wonderful donors.)
Dear Brother Ron,
Thank you for sending me the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". After reading the many letters in the JCPM monthly issues talking about the book in such glowing terms, I had to read it for myself. The book explained the pure Bible doctrines in such a way that they were easy to understand. The truths were also presented in a way that was not cumbersome, as many religious books are. I’m enclosing a donation of $400. I hope it will help with your printing costs.
Donna, FL
(God bless each of you who help us. I know that many of you don’t have much to share. But many of you dig deep and sacrifice for the Lord. It does my heart good to hear of lives and hearts responding to the truth as taught by Jesus. I pray to God that all who come in contact with this little ministry and the book, "Change Your Life Biblically" will be as touch as Donna was. God bless you all.)
Mr. Ronald John,
I’m so happy to know that there is help out there and that there are people who care. My boyfriend wrote me and sent me your pamphlet to fill out and told me to send it out. He was very inspired by your book and I was interested in something like that, and well, now here we are. My family doesn’t help me out and I am indigent.
Arline, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
Sorry for sending two in one envelope. But we only had one so we both sent them in one. I would like to know if you can send one in Spanish. If you have it. If you don’t, he says thanks anyway. I can’t wait to get my workbook.
Juan, CA
To JCPM,
I have recently started to read your book. It is starting off very good. I have prayed for the Lord to give me insight so that I may be blessed with the understanding of the book. I also pray that I pass the questionnaire at the end of the book. I would really love to be a part of your ministry. I hope to hear from you soon. May the good Lord continue to bless and guide you in all your ministry.
Jesse, CA
Dear Ronald John,
I just received your letter and I honestly have no support from the outside. My girlfriend stopped writing when I told her that I had decided to give my life to the Lord. I guess she wishes to continue to live in the flesh. I had to explain to her that I love Jesus more than her and I refuse to let her or anyone else get in my way of serving God and the purpose He has for my life. She couldn’t accept that so I let her go. I don’t have any money to send to you for the book. I’d be honored to do your program and be given the chance to serve God through your ministry.
James, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
Thank you for all your love and kindness. Your quick response and also thank you for sending the book to my sister. I was glad to hear from you in such a short time. I had three good reasons I stopped writing. The first reason was me getting transferred. The second is my writing skills are not all that great. And the third and final reason was that I was taking a good look at everything. I was reading and studying your book: testing the spirits. I am a very slow reading. I wanted to absorb everything I could before I passed the book down to my sister. But after finishing it I realized I didn’t want to part from it. Also, with the help from the Lord and your book, there has been some improvement in my reading. It took me ten months to finally finish studying these three volumes. I have answered the answer sheets and now I could positively say that this book is the true knowledge of God. I agree with all of its message. I also would like to ask when will your book finally be finished and translated into Spanish? And would you keep me updated on this matter? Once again, thank you for all your love and commitment.
Gilbert, CA
(Sorry Gilbert, but I have no idea when hearts will be touched so we can have the funds to print the book into Spanish. Inmates are begging us for the book in Spanish, but we don’t have the funds to print it into Spanish. Please pray that hearts will be touched and some will provide all the funding we need to get them printed.)
To Brother Ron,
A friend of mine has a workbook called, "Change Your Life Biblically". That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. If possible, could I please get a copy? I wrote my wife and asked her to send you a donation. I’m struggling with my faith. I feel pretty sure that He will be coming very soon. I feel that your book will help me.
Randy, TX
Hi Ron,
Just thought I’d write and ramble on. You know how boring it is at times. I write to and speak to a lot of inmates here. At times it is disappointing when I try to help them and they don’t appreciate it. I would like to think people would be grateful to be steered in the right direction. But I see how hard it is to get through to people. It is to difficult for them to follow Jesus’ truth. They just want to go along with the crowd. I see how so many people don’t want to live up to the standard Jesus set for us. They have established their own standard and want to pull Jesus down to it. People are pretty well set in the teachings that the law is done away with. I’ve noticed people come up with all kinds of catchy phrases and they are taught things of no substance. What bothers me is when they say these things to people who don’t know any better. Especially when they start talking that the Law is done away with. At times it is hard, but we have to keep pressing on. I use this experience of my life as a way to describe the Lord’s grace to people who don’t really understand. People who depend solely on the Lord’s grace and don’t follow His laws. When I first committed this murder, I was up for the death penalty. But by the grace of God the death penalty was taken off the table. I was saved, Temporally, as you said in your book. It gave me the opportunity to learn the Lord’s laws and His truth. It doesn’t dawn on people that we need God’s Word every day. Not just part of the day either. Continually. We need to study, write, talk and have him on our mind always. People I associate with: friends, and family on the outside and even most of the people in here, don’t understand this.
Peter, IL
Dear Ronald,
Thank you for sending me the information regarding your program: "Change Your Life Biblically". I have been on Arizona’s death row now for 27 years, 4 months. My last supporter, my mother, died six years ago. Since then it has been a bit on the rough side, especially being totally alone. I do have two siblings, but we haven’t spoken in over 30 years. Neither do I have any clue as to their whereabouts, etc. Being on the row here in Arizona we are not allowed to work, or do hobby crafts or allowed to take educational programing, except religious. I would be grateful if I could obtain your workbook.
Edward, AZ
Dear JCPM,
I've been reading your web articles. This is actually one of few times I've located biblical teachings that actually make good sense.
Benjamin, Email
Mr. Ronald John,
I wanted to write to you to request the "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. I like the program you offer and also the "prizes" that you get when you finish the work sheets. I am always willing to improve my walk in Christ and change my life for the better. I also would like to know the truth about myself so I can start to redirect my walk for Jesus. I would like for you to send me the book. I have enclosed the money order to cover it.
Robert, MI
Dear Brother Ronald,
Well, the "hardheaded" roommate has moved on to his next stop in the system of California. I pray that his heart stays open to receive the truth and that he takes the time to write you for "Change Your Life Biblically". I know it will do just that if he applies his heart to it. But I am sending you one for a young man that has the same thirsty spirit I did when I first started on my hunt for the everlasting water. We spend most of our days just talking and me showing him the truth out of the Bible. I’ve shared my book that you shared with me, "The Great Controversy" and he is looking over "Change Your Life Biblically". He would like his own copy. So I’m more than happy to help him and this ministry out with stamps as always. His door is wide open and I don’t want to miss the chance to save his soul. Go glad to hear about all the good coming to this ministry with the works pace being built this month.
Kevin, CA
Brother Ron,
I got the package that you sent to me. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much for the other reading material that you sent. I am new in my walk with our Lord. I have been reading the Bible a lot. I have still got a big problem with pride (getting on my knees). I am trying to work on that and many other problems that I’ve got. I used to be a gang member. I used to use drugs, have sex with whomever, steal and hurt people. I don’t want to do this anymore. That’s why I’m so thankful that you sent me this. My brother in Christ let me use his and it helped so very much to open my eyes.
Tony, NV
Dear Ron,
This has truly been a life experience which God placed in your heart to reveal to the masses. I would not change anything written in the book. I believe that all information is true. God has truly blessed you with insight and I would enjoy being part of your ministry.
Rodney, TX
Hello Brothers:
I would like very much to own "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. I’m an inmate and just arrived. My cellmate who just arrive asked me to request also one for him.
Carlos, CA
Dear JCPM,
I truly believe that the "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook will really help me better know our Lord and Savior. What I want and pray for more than anything is to know my God in the most profound way that I can. I want my faith to continue to grow in essence. I want to obtain whatever knowledge I can so that I can become a pillar for the Lord.
Stephen, CA
Dear Jesus Ministry,
I am writing to receive your newsletter and to be placed on your mail list. I would like to learn more about "Change Your Life Biblically". Thanks so much.
William, CO
To Whom it may Concern,
I am a believer who would like to receive "Change Your Life Biblically". I had a chance to read a few pages of one. I found out things I didn’t know. There is so much more in that book to learn. I need my own. I want to make sure I get to heaven. I’m serving 14 years and in that time I want God to use me to reach out to others. I would also like your book to be sent to a friend or what must be done so he can also get it. Thank you so much for this book.
Sam, CA
Hello,
My name is Martin. I have come across a book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". I very much want to learn. I also have a Christian brother here in my area. Can you please do the same for him as he requests the same?
Martin, AZ
Hello,
I am in prison. A Christian brother by the name of Derrick told me about your ministry. Thank God. I’m interested in any and all literature you can send me.
Albert, CA
Dear Ronald John,
Thank you for your book. I am so looking forward to the study to change my life. I want to work for Jesus in your prison ministry. I am a Mafia member. Did a few things I’m not proud of. Thank you for the studies. I enjoy it. Please send information on a way to work for the Lord in your prison ministry. This book gets me excited to study.
Donovan, CA
Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I am mailing you the only stamps I have which is enclosed in the envelope in the hope that you will send me a "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook.
Wilford, TX
To Whom it may Concern,
I recently ran across one of your books, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was pretty impressed by the most of what I was able to read. I’ve been pushed away from religion by different people’s beliefs and how I was treated. I am really interested in the truth, not just what somebody wants me to believe.
Mike, CA
Hi,
I hear so much good things about your ministry. I know God is in your life.
Tony, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
Recently a friend of mine gave me a workbook published by your ministry entitled, "Change Your Life Biblically". Although I’ve only had time to briefly flip through it, it looks really good. I would like to know if your ministry provides these books and other resources free upon request. I believe the Lord has called me to obtain resources from ministries and share them with whoever is willing to receive them. When I get resources I hand them out to people, leave them in different housing units and leave them in the chapel where people will pick them up. Anything in Spanish would also be greatly appreciated as well. As a matter of fact, the majority of the inmates here are Hispanic.
Greg, CA
Brother Ronald John,
It was good to hear from you. I am well. Better that I have Christ in my life. It’s new, this walk. I struggle. But I ask the Lord every day for the strength. I know He is faithful and hears. I still read and study. It’s our life-bread, the Word of God. I find the answers in the Word. I pray for the Lord to teach me His will. Everything I read or hear from people I test it against what Jesus taught. What I learned from your study. I have shared your Bible study with as many people that are receptive. I still plant seeds and try to stay down to earth, humble. You should be hearing from more people, Ron. The Lord is good. He has helped me so much. The more I humble myself, the clearer His Word is to my heart. May the Lord Bless and protect you,
Richard, CA
Dear Ronald John,
I’ve received the book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". Thank you very much for them.. That was very quick. I’m sending 4 postage stamps now to help you out. Whenever I get more I will send to you. I’m fully indigent and wish I can give more.
Tyrone, CA
To Whom It May Concern,
I found this in my dorm and it made me a little curious. I read and meditate on Scripture every day. I’m not a big fan of "organized religion" and the political battle of which denomination is better. I’m actually repulsed by it. We need to read the Bible and see what it says to each and every one of us and not just sit in a church and blindly follow the pastor of the church. I fee compelled to send this to you and ask for a copy of your workbook.
Brian, FL
Greetings,
I am indigent and I long for the energy of our Creator; His knowledge and understanding. I’ve sat in on Bible debates and usually leave more confused than when I started. My cellie received your study book. He was so into it. But when I requested to view it with him, he flat out turned me down. He said I’d have to get my own. I strive for the true picture of things. But the Bible is confusing. I guess I need help. I would love to become a part of the "Change Your Life Biblically" workshop. I desire to know the truth based on facts.
Terry, TX
Dear Ministry,
I’ve had this book lesson of yours in my hand everyday since I got it in the first week of March. I have never kept a book of any kind in my hand that long in my life. Your study book is exhausting. I never read any book that a person put so much energy into as well as a great length of effort to make people understand the Creators true word and the correct way to live. Just reading the first few pages of your workbook I knew this was going to be an uncut, down to earth, tell it like it really is book. Can’t handle the truth, no need to apply. (smile) Yes my brother in Christ, God touched your soul and spirit in a real way. What a unique book and style you have to get people to understand the truth as well as know it. I just finished doing your Bible lesson and I will say that I have never done a Bible lesson like this and believe me, brother, I’ve done many. Thanks to you I got to find the missing pieces of the rest of truth that I couldn’t find and had been searching for as well as understanding. It took me over a month to finish this test.
Robert, CA
Dear Ronald John,
I received your letter and flyers to pass out. It was good to hear from you. It sure brings up the spirits in here. The only problem, I don’t have no stamps or money for this book; Sincerely. I would send the stamps or money if I had some.
Abraham, CA
Dear Ministry,
I’m a new believer in Christ. I heard about your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m indigent and can’t send stamps. I would be really appreciated to get your book.
Wesley, CA
Dear Mr. Ronald John,
Aside from being born, this is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Being born again. My cellie has your "Change Your Life Biblically" book. And that’s exactly what it did. It changed my life . . . . . Biblically. I can’t fully explain what it feels like, but I can say that it is amazing. If every single person read this book, this world might actually have a chance. But since that will never happen, I encourage people to find God before it’s too late. He is coming back soon. Please send me a copy ASAP just in case one of us moves soon. Thank you very much for your time.
Garrett, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
I received a notice from the institution and they told me that my points had dropped and I will be going to a level two. Because I’m a lifer I guess my choices are limited. I forgot which ones you told me were good prisons. I did hope to stay here for another year. Perhaps you can pray for me and my situation. If it is God’s will for me to move, I wouldn’t want to fight against His will. I did wonder though, why would God want to move me when I am bringing more people to Christ and barely able to establish a Bible based group? I mean, not that I’m somebody, but I don’t see anybody that can lead the group because most of our group members are new to the faith or don’t know much of the truth in the Bible. What if those wolves from the "protestant" group come and try to lead them astray? I just care so much for the brothers and I wouldn’t want them to be lost. These guys are like babies. They need to be watched and fed. Do you think I’m allowing myself to be too burdened or taking this task upon myself too much instead of Christ? I should just leave them in Jesus’ hands, Right? Well, I will end it with that. Here are my tithes. God bless you,
Timmy, CA
To Whom it may Concern,
I have read some of your "Change Your Life Biblically" book. What I found inside made me so happy I had to write for my own copy. Also, may I ask for other literature to help me get right with Christ. I would like you to know I’m on a five year prison term and would like your help to start new.
Breiwn, LA
Dear JCPM,
I just want to start by saying your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" changed my life. When I started reading the Bible, I had a lot of questions. But your book helped me understand certain things that I believe many people still don’t understand. I used to think God was very difficult. But He’s really very simple. Us humans just make things difficult. Anyway, I just want to thank you for the time and effort you put into that book. It really helps fill in some blank spaces in my perspective. And it hurts me to see how much people really do neglect and how much I neglected before I learned the truth and there is only one truth and that is the Word of God. So brother in Christ, I don’t ask for you to pray for me, but just pray with me for those who are blind. For they don’t know what they do. But I myself have learned the truth and I am responsible now for living righteously. All I can do is what God asks me to do. And thanks to your book, that really put the few last pieces of the puzzle together. I thank you for that with all honesty. I gave my previous book to another brother in Christ and I am hoping you can send me another copy.
Reis, CA
Dear JCPM,
I have no money, and I am indigent. My cellie just got your "Change Your Life Biblically". As I was looking into it, I mean to tell you, that this is a very good book. Please, will you send one to me.
Mark, CA
(I would like to share the following information from one of my favorite authors.)
"This goody-goody religion that makes light of sin and that is forever dwelling upon the love of God to the sinner, encourages the sinner to believe that God will save him while he continues in sin and he knows it to be sin. This is the way that many are doing who profess to believe present truth. The truth is kept apart from their life, and that is the reason it has no more power to convict and convert the soul. There must be a straining of every nerve and spirit and muscle to leave the world, its customs, its practices, and its fashions. . . ." EGW
May God bless each and everyone of you as we continue to serve the Master.
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
