"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 Sisters in Christ,
Please sit back and enjoy the letters. The mission field is growing. I do want to thank each of you who have been so faithful in helping us share the "true Gospel" that Jesus taught others. So few have ever heard the Gospel as Jesus taught it. It just isn’t being taught in the churches any more. So few of us left and time is running out. Let us double our efforts in getting this book, "Change Your Life Biblically" which was dictated and directed by the Holy Spirit, out into the mission field.
Dear Brother Ron,
I received the books that you sent. Thank you. I’m going to enjoy reading these books brother. You know, since I’ve been reading the Bible I can’t understand how people are blind to the truth of the Bible. You read all the New Testament and it’s all right there. What you’re supposed to do as a Christian. It even states plain as day that our faith is dead unless we have works. So I can’t comprehend how people are blind to the facts. I have almost finished the Bible in less than a year. Just so you know, your book gave me what I needed to help with my new walk with our Lord and God. I’ve gotten one dude in here, but he doesn’t want to give up the flesh. I’ve come to him three times. He even told me that he doesn’t know why God wants him so bad.
Tony, NV
Dear Fellow Christian,
My friend let me read his copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". I never finished it but I love what I did read. If it’s not to much trouble, please send me a copy.

JCPM,
My name is Joseph. I saw a book that a friend was looking at called, "Change Your Life Biblically". I do not have any money to donate to the organization. But I was wondering if I could be blessed and have one sent to me.

Dear Ronald John,
I am serving 8 years to life. I was wrongfully accused of molestation. My world has been turned upside down. I just thank God for getting me through this terrible injustice. I am having a hard time dealing with this. They say things happen for a reason. I pray to God daily in hopes that He has a good plan for me. I just received your letter and I found a booklet in our dayroom, your newsletter. I was reading the letters that people write to you about "Change Your Life Biblically" and I thought, that’s God answering my prayers. This book is what I need to learn more about the Bible. I’m enclosing 10 stamps. Please send me this book that I can establish a better relationship and walk with God.

Hello Brother Ron,
I let a friend read the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". He is fascinated by it. So he is going to order one through his father. Well Ron, the book produced another first believer. He now wants to become a Christian. He decided to leave the prison gang. He is now in protective custody, praise God for this move. God worked quick in this kid’s life. I pray that the seed which was planted grows. I pray that it remains to get watered every day. My question is, if I want to buy, say 10 books so I can give them to inmates at a county jail, how to do that?
Michael, CA
JCPM,
Let me tell you, WOW again and again and again, WOW, WOW. I read up to page 11 and let me tell you, I’m so happy. I have been eliminating all books that are not Christian books. I have this feeling inside that booms when I read my Bible and do my Bible studies. It’s like being high on drugs, but a clean high. I feel so good. I call it my God high. I will be working on my book every day.
Evert, CA
Dear Ronald,
I just received your letter today and thank you for getting back to me so soon. I’m in reception and do not know when I’ll be getting transferred to another prison. I’m not an indigent. I have the money and the stamps but should I wait till I’m transferred to send them? I really want to start my workbook. I really want to get closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. I’ve just turned 19 in prison but have been accepting the Lord since I was 14 in Juvy. But it seems every time I get out I turn my back on the Lord and not long after I’m right back were I started. So I really want to strengthen my walk with the Lord. I want to learn when the devil is tempting me. All in all I want to know my Savior Jesus Christ better than I do. I find your program perfect for me.
Frank, CA
Hello,
I am an inmate and had the opportunity to glance at your publication. I would like to receive my own copy of "Change Your Life Biblically". I am new to both Christianity as well as the penitentiary. I believe it would be well to expose myself to learn as much of God’s word as possible. Your book was really user friendly from what little I had to read before my friend left.
Chris, CA
Dear JCPM,
I love the book. The knowledge I am receiving is an eye opener. It shows the true meaning of God’s love for us. Here is my 10% of income. Thank you,
Floyd, CA
Dear Sir,
I am requesting a copy of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I browsed at a copy and I would like my own, please.
Joseph, FL
Dear Friend,
A friend of mine let me start reading "Change Your Life Biblically". But due to him transferring to another prison, I didn’t get to finish reading it. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". From what I read, I love it and want to be able to read the whole book. So please help me on this issue.
Donald, FL
Brother Ron,
The last time I communicated with you was in the early 2000s. I always wondered what became of your ministry for Christ. I was walking to get my chow today and I seen some person with your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I tripped out when I seen it. It brought back a flash back. Why? Cause I remember studying that book to the "T". It has never left my mind and to the honest of God’s truth, I have been looking all over for your address. I asked the dude how he got your book. He said he found it in an empty cell. So I asked him if I can read it. He said no. But I did get your address once again. I’m not sure if you are still there or still involved. But if you are may I get your book and study guide once again. I know the routine about stamps on your behalf. I will be happy to send them once I know you are still there.
James, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
I thank you so very much for sending me another Pen-Pal web page sheet and allowing me to do it in pencil since we are not about pens in here. I am returning the Pen-Pal web page to you with a photo of myself. My missionary work is going as well as expected. The jail here only allows us out of our cell one hour a day to shower and use the phone. It’s not a lot of time but we have a prayer circle when we come out and also try to get in a teaching of "Change Your Life Biblically" every day if possible. I have been passing around what you said about wanting someone to train to work there, and I’ll keep letting people know for you. I thank you for everything you have done for me and most of all, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ because without Him none of this would be possible.
Andre, CA
Dear J.C. Prison Ministry,
This is my first time approaching a Bible study. A friend of mine shared your book with me and I found myself very interested in your "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook.
Jesse, CA
Hi Ron,
There is this guy here who it seems a lot of people look up to and consider him knowledgeable as far as the Bible. I’ve talked to him quite a few times, but about a month ago he touched on the trinity. I know from previous conversations he believes we no longer have to keep the law. Anyhow, I didn’t want to embarrass him so I wrote him a long kite (letter) explaining all those things to him properly. I gave him proof right from the Bible. And of course I wrote about the law, grace, the Sabbath and the rapture. Anyhow, a couple of days later he came to my cell and argued with everyone of those. He started reciting to me all sorts of Scriptures that seemed to me had no correlation. He was overly excited - out of control. He finally acknowledged that God was revealing to him about the Sabbath. I figure that’s a start. My younger sister wants to learn more of God and the Bible. She knows pretty much nothing. Like me before I was locked up. I told you, we were raised Catholic. Anyhow, it’s so much nicer teaching someone whose mind isn’t corrupted with all this bogus religious teachings. I did learn a lot of that common teaching the first year I was locked up. I didn’t have the knowledge or strength to stand on my own, or to know any better. Most did seem pretty bogus, especially being struck down by the Holy Spirit or speaking all kinds of gibberish. It’s been a long road, but it sure is nice to know the truth. I am so glad I came across, directed by the Holy Spirit, correct teachings.
Peter, IL
JCPM,
I enjoyed the study very much. I especially liked how you have so much commentary and deep historical background. The breakdown of the empires was fascinating. I really enjoy this book. I have been sharing with my cellie a little. He has been asking a lot of questions. Can you please send me a Bible? I still owe you 5 stamps.
Paul, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
Thanks for your letter which you explained the important aspects of your program, and your search for a young committed talent. Please permit me to submit the name of a young friend who moved to another yard. He is a bright young leader with character and commitment. It seems like a good plan for you to have a "team" of workers in place with the kind of dedication and commitment you must certainly have. Clearly brother Ronald, you have exceptional skills and abilities with which to lead your ministry. I believe you will be equally successful in identifying people whom you can train to step into your shoes. I love your work and logo of the cat knocked silly by the world. It’s original and engaging. In promoting JCPM I hope to attract youngsters who will stay the course and learn ways to compliment their personal journey in the service to others. What better praise to Jesus than such selfless devotion.
Bill, OK
Dear Brother Ron,
Thank you for sending me your book titled, "Change Your Life Biblically". WOW, it’s about time that someone wrote it like it really is! The book is a compelling and intriguing presentation, like no other. I’ve had to repeatedly stop and go back to check on whether I had read what was written correctly. Indeed, this is like no other Bible study I have ever encountered to date. I have read through your book twice already. At the end of your book you ask if paroling and would like to serve the Lord in your ministry. Well, count me in on this when I’m out of here. There is an inmate here that just arrived recently and he is indigent. Like I, he has no one on the outside for support or assistance. I’m including his form with this letter.
Edward, AZ
Dear Ronald John,
I am writing to let you know I just received your letter and was very glad to hear from you. The reason I wrote in for your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" is because I’ve seen the change come over my cellmate. I would very much like to receive your book. I burnt all my bridges out there by just being the hard head that I am. Who can blame them. I’ve been doing this about 23 years. So needless to say, I have no one out there to help.
John, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I want to thank you for your personal letter you sent a while back. It really touched my heart. I sincerely appreciate it as well as the books you sent. I know you get a lot of mail from people all over the country so you may not remember me. That’s OK. I am writing to let you know what is happening here, as well as send my tithe to you of $20. I hope that it is utilized to touch someone’s life in a great way. As I mentioned in my last letter, your book really helped open my eyes to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m thankful for that. There is a strong spirit of evil here but God is moving a little at a time. There is such an overpowering spirit of pride here that it’s repulsive. I guess all prisons and jails are like that to a certain extent. This prison was built in the late 1800’s and is a dark place. I have been persecuted for my faith. For my refusal to buy into racial prejudice. For my refusal to do a "mission" (attack another inmate because of their charges - sex offenders) and other stuff. But I give all praise and honor to our Lord Jesus. The power of the Holy Spirit and God the Father’s grace upon my life. I’ve come to find out through this whole experience that His Word is true and that He does not lie. He certainly is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. But I see the other side of the coin too. When people serve Him half hearted He allows bad things to happen. We must be obedient to God out of love for what He’s done for us. He wants the best for us. He loves us. But you cannot fool Him. I think many people play with God. They don’t know Him because they don’t seek Him with all their heart. There is no salvation without repentance. That’s a key point often missed in today’s watered-down, soft gospel message being taught. Jesus cannot be your Savior if He is not your Lord. It’s really sad to listen to people who come in to teach here and they don’t put emphasis on the truths of God’s Word. So many have made God who they want Him to be. I stopped arguing with those who believe in "once saved always saved and the secret rapture." I have a serious part to play in my salvation. I must work out my salvation with fear and trembling. The requirement to stop sinning has never went away. God has empowered us as true believers to live according to His Commandments out of love for Him. Jesus said, "If you love Me, obey My commandments." I made a decision to give Him all of me. That’s what He expects. I don’t play with God. He died for me and I am to die for Him. I love you brother Ron.
Steve, WA
Brother Ron,
First, I’d like to extend my utmost respect. I have received the CYLB book and I have started it. I love it. I really do. For the first time even, I feel peace within. So far, I’ve learned that everyone who confesses the name of Jesus Christ must turn away from wickedness. And that our heavenly Father is perfect and that we are to be like our Father. Brother Ron, I have been writing you for a while, but I’ve never been serious about this like I am now. Brother Ron, I’m tired of living life and just all this evil wickedness.
Franky, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
Thank you for your encouraging letters. I feel so good in my new life. God is Good. I’m so blessed to have the help I am receiving from Jesus Christ Prison Ministry. I have stopped reading all books that do not further my spiritual growth. To have "Change Your Life Biblically" is a tremendously good book that is helping to boost my understanding and help me grasp the fundamental truths of the Bible. I want to follow everything that God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit tells me to do. I have a friend here who is going to want a book, so expect to hear from him soon. I’m going to help him with the envelopes.
Evert, CA
Hello Brother Ron,
Recently a friend of mine introduced me to a special book by the name of "Change Your Life Biblically". I would really enjoy that to have to be able to learn from. I find that book very interesting and in fact very true, because it is backed up with scriptures from the Bible. I recently turned my life to the Lord and would love to know more of Him.
Christian, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
It was good to hear from you as always. I’ve been thinking, meditating and praying and you were right. I need to step a notch up and put into practice what I have been learning and teaching. How Jesus must be disappointed in my lack of faith. I used to have so much more faith when I was at the other prison. But ever since I came here I got carried away by all these people who lack faith and try to do everything on their own. Yes, I will look to Jesus from now on, even with greater hope and faith. As for the Calvinist guys, one of them is starting to see the truth and has been studying with me. The other guy, on the other hand, has blinded himself in commentaries that promote predestination. He’s my good friend and I love him, but it frustrates me that he won’t let go of this confusing teaching. I hope and pray that he will be able to see the truth before probation is over. He hasn’t read your book except for some chapters I have shared with him. He liked them. I’m gonna have to let him read the whole book. Hopefully the Spirit will speak to his heart.
Timmy, CA
Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
Myself and two other brothers share the Word of God in the evenings amongst each other. Sometimes small groups of about 5. Another Brother shared his "Change Your Life Biblically". We are very much interested in three copies of the message. I thank you in advance.
Clinton, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I am writing to request your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". A friend here always has it in his hands reading or studying it. I know it has touched him and he has shared some of it with me. God bless you for what you do for men and women behind bars for the Lord. I will pass the word and hopefully you’ll receive more support for what you do.
Don, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
Again I received your little book of testimonies. Oh, how I feel for those who are crying for help to know a better way of life. Many have never heard. Some have been rebels, thinking they could manage without Christ and failed. Some cry for pen-pals. Maybe I could write to one or two.
Madonna, OR (non-inmate)
Brother Ron,
Its the Sabbath and I wanted to say, "Hello", and let you know I am keeping it holy. I used to just try to study a little more or talk a little more about God to guys on the tier. But now I walk to the shower and back to my cell and put ear plugs in so the TV don’t distract me while I study. I know on the streets I can fellowship with other commandment keeping Christians on the Sabbath. But in here it is too distracting to leave the cell. Here is the 10 stamps I told you I would send. I’ve passed out all the flyers you sent and think I’ve had a few people with $ write you. Now I plan to hustle for the Lord and get your excellent workbook to as many as I can and get as much $ your way as I can. Both sides get blessed. Your book has planted some words and phrases in my head that no other books or Bible studies have. Repentance, obedience, stop sinning, be perfect. How can we go wrong if we implement those into our lives?
Danny, CA
Hello,
A good friend of mine by the name of Chuck showed me your book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m very interested in doing the Bible study. I would be very pleased if I could receive your study course. I’ve been down for 31 years straight and I want to learn more about the Bible. There are some parts of it I don’t understand and need to learn more and have a good knowledge of it.
Leonard, WA
Dear Brother Ron,
I am an inmate at a Women’s camp. I recently ordered your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". It is a wonderful book. Although it is not a Bible, it references scripture throughout and is a great study guide for anyone who wants to learn more about God and His Word. I found God about eight years ago. I thought I was a good Christian going to church once a week, tithing and reading the Word maybe once a week. How foolish I was. I have been incarcerated for one year and will go home in two months. I didn’t know it at the time, but God has a plan for all of us. I have brought many women here to the Lord. I have developed a relationship with God that I never knew was possible. This short prison sentence (14 months) has been a blessing from God beyond my wildest dreams. My four children are all Christian and we have gotten closer than I ever imagined. God is awesome. I received your newsletter and as I was reading some of the letters, I was in tears. Many of your flock could not even afford to send you ten stamps for your book. Well, God has blessed me very much financially. Please find enclosed 50 stamps as a donation so you can send 5 books to inmates who cannot afford the cost. I will send you more at the end of the month. I wanted to continue helping and after I am released, I will try to help more on a regular basis. I love what you are doing in your ministry. We all need to know the Lord better. Your book is so well written and easy to understand. After I get home I will contact you about getting more copies for my church family in Las Vegas. I won’t have to pay you with stamps, I will send a cashier’s check. I can’t thank you enough for the good work you are doing. You are an inspiration to me and I hope some day to get to meet you. Keep up the good work you are doing. It is very important that we bring as many persons as possible to the Lord. I absolutely love your book.
Robin, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
Well, I’ve been studying "Change Your Life Biblically". I want to take my time. I don’t want to hurry through it just to get a web page on-line or a new Bible. Since changing from Sunday to Saturday Sabbath, the devil has really been attacking me. Mostly in thoughts. I can tell my walk is really trying to stop sinning. I am so aware of sins. I know what God was telling all the Jews and everyone in the past. Sin kept them away from Him. I am trying so hard to stay perfect. I just happen by chance to pick up the book Great Controversy. I find that your book is almost the same as it. The Holy Spirit guided me to the truth. That information is passed along through many of God’s people, and where God lets one person know the truth, He passes it on to the next person who can write from the Holy Spirit. I believe you were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write "Change Your Life Biblically". I myself feel time is running out. I am still in AD/SEG, the hole. But the truth will come to light soon and I will be let out. I’ve put out tracts every shower day. I don’t know how many guys have contacted you. When I get out of the hole Satan will be on my tail. I am gonna preach the 4th Commandment. I want to study your book in detail to learn the truth. I want Jesus and the truth. Satan is at work. We had a murder in AD/SEG. Someone killed their celly. So pray for us here. Satan knows the truth is out.
Dennis, CA
"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." James 4:3
The Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Psalm 84:11
I would like prayer for an early release from prison so I can be there to take care of my elderly mother and father. I know that prayer changes every situation. Thank you so very dearly.
Teresa, AL
I’ve been incarcerated since 2003 and lost my mom in 2005. She was my only friend and family member who stayed in contact with me. Now, being she is gone, nobody stays in contact with me. I ask to be forgiven for doing wrong. I want to be in contact with them because I don’t hear or see my son, nephew, niece, brother or sister since my incarceration. I would love for everybody to pray that my family comes back to me and we become one once more.
Michael, NY
Dear Ron,
Darrell needs your prayers. He has an incurable Brain tumor. So keep him in your prayers.
Ruth, ID (donor)
The picture on the back is of Juan and Foster. Juan is a great help here at the ministry. He will be translating the book into Spanish.
Love in Christ to all of you,
Ron & Juan
