Prison Mission Report!

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Folks, this is our 10th anniversary. This month marks the month we began sending books to inmates. In May of 1997 the Holy Spirit came to me and dictated and directed the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". Then He told me to get it out to inmates. I told Him that was impossible since I was on parole and could not be in contact with the prisons and inmates. He told me not to worry, that He would take care of it. He did. My parole officer loved what I was doing and encouraged me to keep it up.

Then I explained to the Holy Spirit that I had no money. He told me not to worry about that either. And sure enough, within hours complete strangers were handing me money. It was most amazing.

It has now been 10 years of living by faith every day. As long as the Lord has hearts out there willing to be moved by His Spirit, we will continue the work He has called us to do.

As you know, we need $50,000 to get the English books printed again. We are running low. God bless each of you who are working with the Spirit of God in keeping this little ministry ministering to inmates.

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I am writing to inform you that I did receive my workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been reading and studying my book every day and night in my cell. Unfortunately I have been here in reception since October. We stay in the cell 23 hours out of the day. Since I have been here I have not seen a chaplain or church. No one comes around passing out Bibles or no other literature. That is why I am thankful for the workbook.

Dear Brother Ronald John,

I’ve wrote you before and thanked you for writing your great book, "Change Your Life Biblically".  It truly opened my eyes and heart to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who died for our sins. I was lost for so long, but I know He placed your book in my hands. I’ve accepted Him in my life. I read my Bible every day, pray to Him for forgiveness and fellowship with the brothers here. My life is honestly changed forever. No more drugs, wine or things that held me down. I want to seek God, please Him by obeying Him. I tell everyone about your book. I gave my copy to a brother here. I’m sending a book of stamps so I can be sent another copy. I’m sending an extra ten so maybe you can send a copy to an indigent brother. Thank you also for sending me the newsletters. I enjoy reading about how your book through the Holy Spirit is changing lives for God.

Richard, 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

 

JCPM,

My name is Stanley and I heard about your books, "Change Your Life Biblically".  I heard they can really help me. I was wondering if you could send them to me. I’m very excited to get to read them. I got sentenced for 0-5 in prison. I’m looking for any way to help me change my life.

Stanley, UT

 

To the wonderfully blessed man that God has chosen to head the ‘Jesus Christ Prison Ministry’:

I am writing to you to accept your invitation to join the many others that have been blessed by your workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was able to experience a taste of the fruit of your workbook as an aide to understanding the Bible. I can not wait until I can resume this great marriage. I have been able to, through the Holy Spirit and your Scripture backed teachings, to gain understanding I would have never thought I’d have. I pray that as you read this letter that you are preparing to ship me the "book" and any other materials that your ministry feels will assist me with my relationship with God. I am indigent, but would love nothing more than to give support through faithful study.

Virgil, TX

 

Dearest Brother,

Thank you so much in responding to me so fast. You want me to be honest to you and I will. All I have is my daughter that writes me letters and she is on welfare. I really don’t have the 10 stamps or 10 stamped envelopes, so I’m praying somehow I can still receive the awesome book that you have. I need to know the truth and the whole truth. I ran a ministry for 4 years. But something went wrong. That’s what I’m looking for and with my faith with God, I know He will take care of my needs. Thank you so much.

Anthony, CA

 

JCPM,

This is my roommate. I am always helping her on her Bible studies. From here she is learning "His" Word. I would like you to send her one as well. It will be a surprise, but a very welcome surprise. Especially if we both have the same book. Thank you for considering her. I would of loved to of known about this for Christmas. What a better gift than the gift of God.

Bobbi-Jo, WI

 

Dear God’s Helper,

I want to thank you for being there to help out God’s people that are in prison, jail or wherever the Lord sends you. You are a blessing to use all and God bless and keep up God’s work in spreading His love, His Word and His hope for His children.

Kasey, OR

 

Dear Ron,

I am doing 29 years to life for not telling the police that I saw my father help a 95 year old lady commit suicide. My father died in November 1997. I have no one to visit me and I have no one to let me call them on the telephone. I have never been married. I have no children. I would like you to put me on the internet so someone can write me and perhaps also visit and adopt me as a member of their church family.

Billy, CA

 

JCPM,

At this time I am requesting your Bible study. I would also like any and all literature you can send concerning your ministry. I’m extremely excited and I would appreciate your assistance. I came across your book in the county jail but once I was sent to prison I wasn’t allowed to bring any of your literature. So please, respond as soon as you can for I am eager to get started.

Eric, CA

 

Dear Ronald John,

Thank you for responding so quickly. It made my day to get some kind of mail, anyway. I really would love to have one of your workbooks. Yes, I am totally indigent. I actually had to borrow an envelope and paper just to respond to you. Like I said, I would love to have a workbook. But I am unable to afford anything. You are the only person I’ve heard from the outs. But if that is a problem, I understand. Thank you again for writing me back. I’ll pass out the pamphlets you sent me.

Conan, CA

 

Hello,

Thank you so much for doing what you are doing. I am looking forward to changing my life biblically again. Thank you.

Jeffery, CA

 

JCPM,

I enjoy reading "Change Your Life Biblically". Apparently a brother I loaned my copy to did also. He got rolled up to another unit and took my copy with him. So, I was hoping you could send me another set, please.

Kenneth, CA

 

Dear JCPM,

I would dearly like a copy of your book, ‘Change Your Life Biblically". I am new at this but I want to try out your book. I’m finally open to change. I’m sending a book of stamps to cover mailing. Please send your book soon. Thank you.

Rocky, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I’m without funds at this time. I dearly would like a copy of your book titled, "Change Your Life Biblically". Please. Thank you for your time in reading this request. And if you have any other help you can offer to guide me in changing my life I would deeply be grateful.

Jay, CA

 

Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I’m writing in regards to a book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m currently in a program dorm called, "Breaking Barriers" for drop out gang members. It’s pretty good for I’m trying to change my life for the best. So hence forth I need help in doing just that. I understand you ask for a small fee of stamps. Honest truth, I’m totally alone without funds. I therefore ask for consideration in freely giving me a copy of this book. Please consider, my friend is actually supplying me this stamp for this purpose.

Charles, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I thank you for sending me your enrollment package. I would love to get started with your workbook. I do not have any available funds on my books at this time or any stamps. I do get stamps from time to time and I will send them when I can. But if possible, I would love to start as soon as I can.

James, CA

 

My Brother in Christ,

This Bible study has truly been a blessing too me and will help me in my Christian walk for years to come. This book has given me a chance to take a long look at my life and to realize where I’ve come from and where I’m at now in my life. I have told other Christian brothers about this ministry, this Bible study and how it’ll help them in their walk. Please continue to do good work. You have been a blessing to me and in turn, as for what I’ve learned, I can be a help to others.

Byron, TX

 

Dear Ronald John,

I just recently moved into my new cell and my cellmate showed me the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m indigent and feel that I know why I’m in jail. This time is to accept Jesus Christ. I just got out of max and my cellmate their was a return missionary. I would really appreciate any help your ministry can help me build my relationship with Jesus Christ. I would really love my very own copy of "Change Your Life Biblically".

Travis, UT

 

To Whom it might concern,

I’ve been coming back to prison now since 2001. I know that there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. I know this, but my question is, how do I unleash this power? I’m desperate, please. I could use a friend. My people, friends and family have given up on me. Please send me any free literature. I’m sorry I don’t have anything to donate but my attention.

Frank, CA

 

JCPM

This was the hardest study I have every done. I really enjoyed working in your book. It taught me a lot. I look forward to reading and rereading that book. Thank you for allowing me to see the truths found in this book. It has been a pleasure and a blessing.

Christopher, MI

 

To Whom it may Concern,

I’m a newly devoted Christian. I would like to know if you can help me with any books you might have. I’m an ex-gang member who found the biggest gang in the world - THE JESUS GANG. I’ll take all the help I can get. And if you provide a pen-pal to share scriptures that would be a blessing. But most important help in the Word of my Savior.

Charlie, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

I first want to thank you for the books, again. I’ve just finished the first in the five set. Wow, is all I can say. OOH what lessons to be learned from these books. I’m looking forward to the rest of them. Thank you. I can’t say it enough, you have been a great help to me over this last year that I’ve written you. I soon start trial and one thing I’m not is overwhelmed with anxiety. I know that it’s all going to work out so that what’s best for me at this time in my life the Lord can make me what He needs.

Kevin, CA

 

Hi,

I am sending a $250 check to cover for copies of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" to be sent to my family in the free world and 2 of my friends who are currently serving time. I got 5 years left. I got your book last year and never sat down and read it. I got caught up in gang trouble. I had some Chico's trying me. I am white. Your book is bringing lots of things into focus like tattoos. I got a big one on my back. I now see that it is a sin. This book is teaching me that I am the temple for the Holy Spirit. I was an active "Christian" or so I thought. I believed that Jesus died on the cross, but did not realize there was more to it. There was actual action that we have to live as He lived. Well, I will be reading your book a couple more times. I used to be a pagan hence "Aryan" I see what you are saying about the Catholic church "goddess worship". That’s what pagans worship, the sex rituals also.

Michael, FL

 

J.C.P. Ministry,

I came across your wonderful book, "Change Your Life Biblically" and I would like a copy for myself, if possible. I’m indigent at the moment so I can’t afford to contribute any money to your nonprofit.

Ron, CA

 

Dear Ron,

My cellie gave me this flyer to send to you for free workbook. He moved in with me and started to talk to me about the Lord. I decided to accept the Lord as my Savior. He also has me reading my Bible every day. I have no money at all. I feel bad about that Ron. Can you find it in your heart to send me the workbook. Please.

Harley, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I am writing in hopes of receiving your wonderful book. I was blessed to see it through another brother you blessed in sending him a copy. God has truly favored you and the Jesus Christ Prison Ministry with such a powerful tool as your book. Please send to me your book and any other materials and info you have.

Wayman, FL

 

Dear Brother Ronald,

I am doing good and learning continuously from this study. I’m now going through the workbook for the second time and all I can say is, WOW! 90% of what I’m learning I have never heard and have been going to church since I was 13, off and on. "Change Your Life Biblically" is an awesome study and I feel that everyone should be taught everything having to do with the history of Christianity. That way more people can be able to make more informed choices about how to praise, worship and serve the Lord.

John, CA

 

Dear Prison Ministry,

My name is Ignacio. In 2005 I wrote you a letter and for awhile I was on your mailing list but all of a sudden you stopped sending the newsletter. I was already puzzled due to the fact that you didn’t send me the biblical course. Well to my surprise you had, but it was lost in the system - date was 9-05. I just received the material to day. I am sorry for thinking that you had rejected my request. I had been offered your pamphlet many times and I was resentful. I want to ask you to forgive me. It wasn’t very Christian of me. I will start my course today.

Ignacio, AZ

(Sorry folks, it isn’t my fault if the US Post Office or the prison system doesn’t get the books to you. I just hope each person will write me and let me know if they haven’t received them so we can remedy the situation. Thanks folks and God bless each one who is reading, studying and obeying the teachings as the Holy Spirit has dictated and directed them in "Change Your Life Biblically".)

Greetings,

I want to say that I find it a pleasure to be writing you all with the opportunity to receive the "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. I really want for my life to be changed so that I can become a true follower of Jesus Christ. In doing so I know that this book will make my walk and my faith stronger. Thank you for this opportunity.

Daryl, TX

 

Dear Concernee,

I was very fascinated to come into the knowledge of "Change Your Life Biblically". I am writing in short asking if you would send me a copy in which I will most appreciate with a prompt response.

Sharold, TX

 

Dear Ronald John,

Thank you for this opportunity to get this certificate and web page for answering these questions. Here they are. I received the book you sent me, "America in Prophecy". Thank you. I’m enjoying it immensely. I continue to reread "Change Your Life Biblically" every morning before breakfast. I will continue as I do my studies. I want to thank you again.

Jason, CA

 

Dear Ron,

Thanks for the book, CYLB. As a Sabbath keeper your book and question and answer sheets are the only ones that deliver the truth. As you know, we being Sabbath keepers are looked down upon by the other churches. I was so glad that all your material lines up with what I have already been studying. You are truly teaching and printing out God’s Word. If only other Christians could see and understand these teachings. I have tried to bring people into our Sabbath Bible studies. We basically study the same things in your book. Actually, there are 3 out of 5 of us who have your book. Sometimes the new guys we bring in don’t return. I think the truth is to hard-core for them. We stick with scripture and scripture only. Your book is opening my eyes and heart to God’s Word. This is just what I’ve been looking for: aggressive scripture study. I have really had to dig and study and read your book to answer your questions.

Brent, OR

 

To: Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I’m writing to you guys because I want to know if you guys have the workbook in Spanish? That’s the language that I speak and I will understand more. But if you guys don’t have the workbook in Spanish, I still would like to get the English version. I sending you guys a book of stamps. My friend told me to send it. I’m in jail. I will be here waiting for you guys answer. I’m gonna be here for an long time so I be waiting. Thank you and God bless you. Bye.

Lenin, CA

(Folks, letters like this tear me up. I pray that hearts out there will be touched so we can raise the $30,000 to get the Spanish books printed. So many Spanish speaking in our prisons and with so little for them to read, what an opportunity if we could get our book translated and printed into Spanish. Who would like to commit all their tithes and offerings to this cause? God bless you. And I do want to thank all those who are supporting us with all their tithes and offerings. God bless you.)

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

My name is Patrick. One of my Christian friends gave me this address to write to get free religious Bible study books and lessons. Because where I’m located in here, it is hard to get on a list and go to services off the unit. And I don’t have funds to send out to other mail Bible studies. I would really enjoy to get much closer to Jesus and to change my life through Christ.

Patrick, CA

 

Dear J.C. P.M.

I met a fellow inmate who had your "Change Your Life Biblically". I’ve been reading it and helping him with some of the questions and answers. I decided that I would like to take this study course myself. I’ve found your course very prosperous and challenging. Some of the questions I really have to dig deep. You have a lot of information that is important in your studies. Your time, patience and cooperation in this matter will be greatly respected and appreciated.

Leonard, TX

 

Dear Sin, I am writing to request your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". A friend had one here in prison and allowed me to look it over and I would very much like one if I could receive one, please. I and my fiancé are both locked up and if we could both have a copy of your book we could both read the book together and grow in Christ Jesus.

Danny, ID

This came via Email:

I am pleased to hear from you. I will send you a donation but I'm not sure how much to send for the cost that it will cost you for the materials and the shipping. Could you make a suggestion, please. I might want to get more material in the future for my son's friends. I will mail you a money order as soon as I hear from you. I thank God that you are there to help. I have a copy of the book "Changing your life Biblical vol. I II III", that I am ordering from you. That way we can study together since he is so far away. I am very happy that the book is written by a prisoner. I think my son (friends) will be able to relate to the teachings of the book.

Diane

 

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

 

Ron,

I told you I was moved. Well, anyhow, I have a youngster here who is pretty interested in your book. I shared mine with him, but I would like for him to have one of his own. Also, I wanted to ask you if you have any Bible study material. I came across another man who has no knowledge what so ever of Christ or the Bible. I want to help this man. I’ve enclosed some stamps for you to help you with the postage.

Richard, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

Wow brother, the book you gave to me, "The Great Controversy" is a very good book. I am on the very end of it. It is so good I have to take my time to grasp all the information. There is such opposition to the Lord’s Sabbath, it’s amazing. I’ve tried to share the light that the Lord has blessed me with in knowing He requires full obedience to His commandments with someone who is trying to serve God. He kind of had his opinion made up, but said he would get into a Bible study with me to search the scriptures to see what the Word says. I pray that the Lord will lead me as to what to say and how to say it. All we could do is present the truth, just like you are doing and if they choose not to heed the warning it’s on them. This place I got transferred to has a chaplain that was preaching that the law is no longer required. That it was nailed to the cross. That we no longer have to ask God for forgiveness when we sin. That we just say "thank you God for forgiving me." Because Jesus died for past, present and future sins he leaves no room for repentance and forsaking sin. He is basically giving people a license to sin. People at the service saying "Amen". He started talking about the Sabbath was no longer required. May the Lord bless you and prosper you in all you set your hands on and may He hedge you round about as you do His work.

Joe, CA

 

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 Prison Ministry,

My name is Stephen Osei. I am writing to say a big thank you for the books ;CHANGE YOUR LIFE BIBLICALLY you sent to me. I received 42 copies. The books came in when we were about to visit our local prison ministry according to our quarterly program.  I was very happy on that day. After the worship with the inmates, I distributed the books to them. pastor, more than 80 percent of the inmates are literates.  Because I asked them to read for me to hear and it was awesome. pastor I want to share a testimony with. I gave a copy to the officer in charge and two weeks later I decided to pay them a visit. When I got there, the officer asked me where did I get the books.  And I replied sir, do you want to share something with me from the book? He said most of the inmates are becoming sober. Praise to GOD. In fact I can not describe the book. It has helped me to know history and the salvation in details. I am a student and the church too is small. we have decided to work for our MASTER. Hope to hearing from you soon. You are always remembered in our prayers.

Yours Faithfully,

Stephen Osei., Ghana

 

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
