Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Thank you for responding to my request for an issue of "Change Your Life Biblically". I have enclosed the 10 stamps for postage. I look forward to reading it as soon as it arrives. For I have heard nothing but great things about what is contained in this book. So, thank God for your ministry and thank you for your work in Christ. Devan, NV
Dear Ronald John, In "Desire of Ages" it states "Satan represents God’s law of love as a law of selfishness. He declares that it is impossible for us to obey its precepts." All my life this lie has been trumpeted to me from many different pulpits of "modern" churches that I have attended. I had believed it and worse yet, had preached it myself on street corners and campgrounds. I had believed this lie, even though the Bible gave examples of kings and prophets obeying God’s precepts. I heard it taught in college from which I received a Bachelor of Science Degree, but no accreditation as a minister because I was not "doctrinally correct". It left me open-minded to hear and understand the truth and not a lie. I graduated in 1975 and oh, but the journey has been hard and painful and without hope at times. It was not until I became incarcerated that I began to actually read and study the Bible and even then my eyes and mind were blinded by Satan so that I couldn’t see the truth and become truly free of Satan’s bondage. For how can a man walk free of his chains unless he can see that the locks are broken and no longer secure? Thirty years of mental bondage and thinking habits that had destroyed my life are being changed day by day. Your efforts have changed my life Biblically!! Thank you and thank God. Joseph, TX
Dear Brother, I received your letter and per your direction please find enclosed ten .39 cent stamps to help defray the cost of the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". While I don’t have much, I’m not totally indigent either. So I wanted to show you my sincere desire to change with the help of the workbook. Rick, AZ
To Whom It May Concern, Hello. I heard about your "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook through an inmate in my Bible study group. I thought it was awesome and became very interested in it. I was wondering if I could please receive one. It would be greatly appreciated. I also have a friend who would also like to receive one too. Bridget, ID
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, Please send me one of your Bible study books. I read some of one of my friends and would like very much to have one for myself. David, CA
Dear Brother Ron, Thank you once again for writing me. I received your letter as well as some more very needed flyers. Last time I wrote out about 30 flyers by hand because I had ran out of all the ones that you had sent to me. And everyone kept asking me what I was passing out. So I told them. That is a trip. You were in the military also? And an M.P. at that! It doesn’t make me feel so bad, like I was the only former military person that had bumped his head. I like the way you put, "guest" of the state. It brought a smile to my face. I’ve gained so much knowledge, insight and wisdom from your book and through the power of Jesus Christ. It is truly amazing. Thank you so, so much for opening up my eyes to the things that the church has kept hidden. You know what you are talking about. Once again I thank you for the man that you are and that Christ has made you. God bless you. Keith, CA
To Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, I was wondering if you could send me a "Change Your Life Biblically" book. I’m an indigent inmate who is doing a two year sentence and I want to walk with God on my side even after the days when I’m free of prison. Kenneth, CA
Dear Sir, I am writing to you from prison. I recently had a chance to glance through your ministry book. I wrote down the address in hopes that upon my arrival here in the SHU I could write you and see if you would send me a copy. I will be back here in the SHU for 2 years and will have plenty of time to study. I was impressed with the boldness and simplicity of your book. The majority of denominations haven’t a clue. In the past couple of years I have been studying and have become quite enlightened as to my misunderstandings of the true knowledge most of the world revolves around. It has peeked my curiosity and become in a sense a passion. Sir, I have been in and out of institutions my whole life and I want the madness to stop. In the past 3 years I have remained abstinent of narcotics and alcohol and have a desperate desire to continue to follow that path. But quite honestly, I need help. I am doing 7 years this time for shoplifting for drugs. I am all alone. I have no family nor friends on the street to communicate to. Any assistance you can provide will be of great help and much appreciated. A tired soul. Jason, CA
Hi, I would love to receive your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I have a six year fixed sentence. I didn’t know how to make the right choices during a critical point. The biggest lesson that I have learned though is that I didn’t trust God. Now I face losing my 2 beautiful boys. The mere thought makes me ill. Denise, ID
Ronald John, Here is 10 .39 Cent stamps for the workbook and answer sheets. I am willing to look at myself honestly. So here is my order form. I passed out the other forms to fellow inmates. I’m looking forward to growing in Christ through your workbook. Kimberley, OK
Hi, I am an inmate. I’m sorry, I don’t have any money. But here are a few stamps for a donation. A friend told me about this course and I am excited to get it started. Thank you, Randy, CA
Dear Friend, I have recently became a Christian and I wish to grow more spiritually. A friend of mine had a copy of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" which he received from your organization. He shared some written literature to me and I was pleased. So I can further advance my walk with God. It would be much appreciated if you could send me a copy of your book. Thank you, Guy, CA
JCPM, I am an inmate. My cellie got your magazine with other people and the joy they are sharing in by reading "Change Your Life Biblically", I want to share in that joy and receive from the Holy Spirit. You know, prison is a very lonely place. But since I have been serving Jesus with all my heart, I have found a joy that no matter where I’m at or who I’m around, I can be happy because Jesus loves us and want He did for us is the most awesome thing. I am an ex-Nazi low-rider. I hated so much the hate inside me. My own family didn’t want to be around me. Because of my mom not giving up on me and praying for me daily I’m where I am today - set free - serving Jesus. I’ll never look back. The gang used to be my family. Now I’ve joined a family that will never give up on me. That is Christ’s gang. Matthew, CA
Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, My name is John. I came across your "Change Your Life Biblically" book from a friend. I would like a copy. I’m indigent at this time. John, CA
JCPM, I would like to say that this book has been more than an inspiration to me. I have learned so much that a lot of the chapters I did have to reread because I can’t believe people can be deceived by what others believe and their teachings. Like the Sabbath. And just the way people look up to the pope. I was following that path. And how people glorify the pope instead of our Saviour Jesus Christ. After rereading this book, I have found how to live a better life and how to ask God for forgiveness and know that He is hearing and answering my prayers. I would like to let people know that you won’t be able to get any better literature than this. It has everything. All our answers are in this book. And anybody that possesses it will find peace and an everlasting love. I do hope that I can still receive literature from you and be able to stay in touch with you and your ministry. I’m here under the 3 strikes law - doing 89 years to life. So I do need guidance and positive input. Thomas, CA
Dear Brother Ronald John, I am writing in regards to me receiving the Bible. I really appreciate it. I am so glad that Jesus i working so hard in my life. Especially me. Because I never knew I was saveable. I lived a very bad life. But now, I get to start all over. Enclosed will be 9, 39 cent stamps just a little donation to help someone in need. Our Lord Almighty God is awesome. Whenever I can, I will help out with stamps. Robert, CA
Dear Ronald John, I am sending my other five stamps for the "Change Your Life Biblically" book. I’m reading it little by little, day by day. So far it is a very awesome book. I will get to the Bible studies at the end and take my time to finish them so I can request for a Bible. I appreciate your support and prayers and I thank you very much for your work you are doing. I will pray that you will continue to win souls for the Kingdom. Gail, TX
Hi, God has worked miracles in my son who was serving time in prison. He accepted Christ while in prison, but seems to be slipping some since he is in a halfway house. I believe his non-Christian girlfriend is a distraction. Please pray for him and send him your "Change Your Life Biblically". Rhonda, CO
Hello, My name is Edward. I’m a new child of God. I’ve been on my new life changing journey for only a short time. I am looking to explore and expand my knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The brother here past this blessing on to me and I don’t want to have it pass me by. So, with that said, permit me to inquire about your services. I’m willing to learn. So if you have a Bible study course, "yes", I would be interested. Edward, CA
Hi, I am very interested in your free Bible to inmate program. The only problem that I have is I have no one helping me as I do this time. I am trying my best without help. But the Lord has helped me day by day. If I can help myself by trying to get the free Bible, I want to try. I have what I have is two stamps and two stamped envelopes. All I have to my name. Randy, CA
Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, I rather enjoyed reading "Change Your Life Biblically". I am starting a Bible study group and I would like for you to send me two more of your books for my group, if possible. Kenneth, CA
Greetings, I like what you write in your flyer. I have been seeking truth in Bible studies and would really enjoy studying your workbook. I am very interested in also knowing about your ministry, what the web page is about and about your pen pal program. I also have two others that just started reading the Bible. Please send me some more forms so that they too can start on the correct path. Hanigan, UT
Dear Brother Ron, I have recently given my life to Christ and a brother let me borrow his book entitled, "Change Your Life Biblically". Brother Ron, I must say that this book has amazed me and now I must have a copy for myself. Please send me a copy if at all possible. Charles, FL
Dear Mr. John, I am sorry, but I can only afford to send three stamps right now. I’ve asked for the workbook in the past, approximately three weeks ago and I received your same introduction letter twice. Please sir, send me your workbook. I promise I’ll send the seven remaining stamps as fast as I can. Ronnie, NY
Dear Mr. John, I’m writing you in reference to my request for the workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I am totally indigent without help or support. I’m sure that I can benefit greatly from this book. I’d really appreciate it if you can possible find a way to send it. Karen, VA
Dear Ron, Well, I finally completed the workbook. It took me a long time cause I wanted to be sure I understood what I had read. I enjoyed your book like no other. I’ve been sharing a lot with others. Which brings me to another reason for writing you this letter. I’ve come across some really strong spirited guys in here. But I see that some are being misled by false teachings. I’ve told them about your book and I’ve encouraged them to write you. I’ve met a good Christian brother last week at court that really caught me by surprise. I felt more than just sharing the book. I felt compelled to get him your book. I’m sending you a book of stamps for him. His info will be at the end of my letter. Also Ron, I’ve talked to my family about your book. My brother told me he had ordered your book. I explained to him the need to further this ministry. You see Ron, we were all raised keeping the Sabbath. I being the black sheep strayed from the path and now face life in prison. The thing I told my brother was that we have many prison ministries, but none teach the 7th day Saturday Sabbath. Which is the trap that’s going to condemn a lot of deceived folks. I can’t promise you anything Ron, but I’m trying to get you some funds to further the work you are doing for God. Your book helped turn my wife to the Lord. She’s in prison like me. The Holy Spirit moved through you to my wife to myself. I thank you for being obedient in saving two lost souls. I will send you more stamps as I get them. I will let you know how things work out with my brother and his church. I told my brother I wanted him to share this with his church. I want them all to contribute. Not just him. It might seem a little pushy, but sometimes we need to light a little fire under their feet. There is no longer the time to sit around and wait for things to move along. Richard, CA
To Whom it may Concern, I am writing because I am a baby Christian and I seen your book and liked it. The brother who let me see the book went to another prison. He told me to write you guys and ask for a book. So I am writing you. If it is God’s will for your ministry to send me and bless me with the book called, "Change Your Life Biblically", it would help me understand more. Thank you for your time, Manuel, CA
To Whom it may Concern, I have come across a friend reading your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I really liked it and would like to get my own copy of it. Danny, CA
Dear Brother Ron, God bless you. I was so excited to receive my certificate. You are truly a blessing. Thank you. I will continue to read "Change Your Life Biblically" as well as spread the word of God. I have so much work to do. My dad sent me $40. I am going to send at least $10 of it. Plus whenever I get money I will donate a portion of it to help keep the ministry running. We have been on lock-down going on a month now. But I am going to get the $10 out to the ministry as soon as it is permitted. I am in such high spirits thanks to God and your ministry. I will commit my life to God as His missionary. I truly love spreading the word of God and your ministry which reveals the truths and facts about the Bible. I have even stopped working out on the Sabbath day. Friday night to Saturday night: right? Keith, CA
Dear Ronald, I just received your letter with the enclosed information on how to get the workbook. Please know I am very interested in that workbook. I am an indigent inmate. I don’t have no help from the outside. When I get done with this term here, I’ll have close to 13 years in the system. I’m tired. I wish not to do this any more. I know there is more to life than just living behind these walls. So please send me the workbook. I have to start now on changing my life. If I don’t and end up back in here, it will be for life. I have 2 strikes and I’m an ex-Northern gang member. So I’ve decided to give what I got left to change my life. I don’t wanna come back to this place. Ricky, CA
Brother Ronald, I am pleased with the information I received in regards to your workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I look forward to the challenge your book offers and the many other opportunities. I am really excited to get started, but there is a small problem. I am unable to supply the stamps that are required to get started and would appreciate if you would consider helping me in this area. I really think your ministry program is a blessing and I would like to be a part of that blessing. Herbert, CA
Dear Ronald John, I want to take the time to thank you for responding to my letter. I was very well pleased to hear from you. This has been very hard for me and it’s hurting so much. But I hope with your ministry I can find my faith and hope. I am looking forward to starting your workbook. I have wrote to my family and they are willing to send you a money order or check for $10 as soon as possible. God bless you on your ministry in helping us find the road to salvation under our circumstances. Oscar, TX
Dear Brother, I want to extend my most sincere appreciation for your courtesy in sending me your book. It has been very inspiring and knowledgeable. I was one of the many that had asked for a copy and would make the effort in sending stamps when matters would look a little brighter financially. And thanks to God, the time has come that I’m able to finally send a little assistance your way. I hope that with the assistance that I have brought forth you are able to reach out to the less fortunate. I’m not necessarily blessed, money wise, but I made every effort to obtain a little help here and there with drawings and other creations that I work with to make a little extra and sometimes the only form of assistance financially to make this offering possible. I’m enclosing 30 stamps. Once again, I thank you for such a great book. I hope that you are able to reach out to all the children of God land bring them closer to visualizing the Light the God brings into our lives. Chris, TX
Hello Ron, God is wonderful. I’m so blessed to be able to send my tithes to you, three books of stamps. It’s such a wonderful blessing to be able to obey God’s Word. Something I work at all day. Ron, I was so blessed I received my books the next day after receiving your letter. Praise God. I’ve already started working on my walk through the book. It breaks it down in a very real way. Thank you, Thank you. Darlene, CA This came in via Email: Dear God's servant, Hoping that you are all fine. It is a long time to hear from you. Hoping that by the grace of God things are now moving on smooth your ministry and yourself. I would like to request for some of your books because they have helped me a lot in my work. I want to recommend that every Christian should have copy of the books. Thank you. Hoping to hear from you again. Micheal, Ghana, West Africa How I wish we could send him another case of books. Our financial situation is getting very scary. I pray to God hearts are touched to continue providing the funding we need to carry on. God bless each of you who continue to support us so faithfully each and every month. Hello, My name is Paul. My Christian brother has given me the pleasure of reading a few pages of one of your books, "Change Your Life Biblically". I would be very much obliged and with much happiness if you would send me this book so I can learn of God’s real ways, and also let others read it so they can learn His real way as well. Paul, FL
JCPM, I want you to know that your newsletter is very powerful. Every time I read it, I learn more and more about myself. I have to be honest with you and say that you have made me aware of what I was doing wrong. For a long time your advice "just feel it and let it pass" didn’t make sense to me. I thought it was like just drop all feeling and become a machine. But now I’m getting a grasp on what you’re saying. Emotions, good or bad, are all part of being human. When a bad thought or feeling comes a long, let it flow through you. Fell the sadness, recognize it for what it is, and then go on with life. Leave that sad feeling behind. It might come again, but just let it come. Feel it, recognize it, and carry on. Man, don’t let the feeling control you. I’ve also realized more then ever, it’s all right here you know? And I thank you for pointing me in the right direction. At first I went at it with the expectation of total bliss. But now I realize there is going to be bad feeling, hurt, anger, despair, loneliness, etc. That’s part of living. I mean, if your friend loses his life in a bike wreck, of course you’re going to be sad. But you shouldn’t let that sadness control you or your actions. You may always feel a sense of loss or sadness when you think of that friend, but you feel it, recognize it and let it pass. I had been feeling so .... sorry for myself, I guess I hated myself for a while. The pain was enormous. I thought no one gave a ..... I’m here for 7 more years. You made me realize not only that you care, but that I care. Nicholas, PA
Brother Ronald John, Thank you very much for all you do for myself and others. My apologies for taking so long to respond, but due to my indigent status, I had to wait for some stamped envelopes. Thank you so very much for my pictures that you so kindly copied for me. I apologize for being impatient. I am afraid I tried to deal with you in the same matter as I dealt with others in the past, due to past situations and episodes. Thank you for writing me and encouraging me to work on my patience. I will do just that. I pray and ask God to grant me more patience daily. I have been reading and learning more and more about the Sabbath day, Saturday. I will continue to read and learn. Paul, CA
JCPM, I would really love to read your workbook, but I don’t have any money on my books. Please, if you can, will you send me a "Change Your Life Biblically" so I can get started on changing my life. Edward, CA "Nov. 30, 2006 — According to a new Justice Department report, 7 million men and women, or 3 percent of the U.S population, are currently incarcerated, on probation or on parole — a new record that makes the United States the world leader in incarceration." Folks, we have a lot of work to do for the Lord. Thank you for continuing your love and full support for this, God’s little ministry.
