Prison Mission Report

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I do thank each of you for your love and support of this ministry. I pray that God will continue to bless you as you continue supporting this very tiny ministry. I pray that when tax returns come in, that you will not forget our great needs. Sorry to ask, but folks, this is your ministry and I am just your servant to make sure it is doing what you would want it to do: help people. So I knew that you would want to be reminded of ways you can continue helping this, your ministry, to do the work God has called us to do. God bless you and keep you.

Dear Director Ronald John,

I received your letter. Thank you for writing back. I am sorry to say I don’t have the funds at this time. I’ve read some of "Change Your Life Biblically" and found ti very enlightening. My brother cellmate and I discuss and debate over your book a lot. When I am released I would like to send a contribution and hope by then I can receive your book.

Roland, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron in Christ,

I’m writing in regards to your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I got your book and I read this book. Is very special. This book change me so much brother Ron. This book opened my close eyes and I read your book and my Bible every day and every day learn new about God and about me, why I’m struggling how I know why struggling in my life. I will continue to read and learn more. I am already on "God’s Judgment". I learn to live a normal life brother Ron. I found the answer in your workbook, why I’m sinning. Now I know how to get out. Next time I’m gonna write you I’m gonna send some stamp to help your ministry. I love to support this little ministry.

Rio, CA

 

Ron,

Hey Ron, I’m gonna trouble you once more to send your book to some dear friends of mine. She bought me my first Bible here. It’s a really beautiful Bible and she encouraged me to always read it. She used to be my drinking partner. Now she’s my Bible buddy. The thing is Ron, that I see her church is teaching it’s doctrine. I would love to see her and her husband find the truth. We’ve had our discussions on certain topics, but I wasn’t prepared as well as I thought. But now with your book, I have more knowledge & I’m better prepared. And I would like for her and her husband to share in that knowledge. Your book explains things better than I would be able too. I’ve explained to them that your book is no one’s theories or interpretations. But Bible truths that come from the mouth of God Himself. Ron, I would really like to see them come to the truth. She was persistent in getting me to read my Bible. Now I feel I must be persistent that she know the truth too. What better way then with "Change Your Life Biblically". Ron, my mother will be sending you some money. I tried to get her church to all chip in. But mom is telling me that her church fired a pastor whom my mother said was not afraid to preach the truth. No church is immune. I’m sending you some stamps. I don’t want to burden you more than I already am.

Well folks, the need is there but the funding is lacking. If we had $50,000 we could send all the books we have left to Vincent and then get more printed. But we don’t have $50,000. We pray that hearts will be touched. That people will talk to those who may have the funding to see if anyone will help us. Thanks folks for your love and support of this little ministry.

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

My name is Rodney. I am very interested in receiving your study program. I will be here for two years and have very minimal supplies. I can send one stamped envelope, but I will send more as available. Please accept me so I can learn more about God and to better me as a person on this earth as a Christian.

Rod, CA

 

Dear Brother John,

I am a convict of thirty years straight imprisonment. I am a Christian. I personally know the Lord and live His Word. I request your workbook that I may earn your certificate. Now I am indigent, financially unable to afford a postage stamp. This envelope I use is provided free by the state to those of us that are indigent. The paper here came from my neighbor who gave me your information. He knows that all my family are deceased and I have no outside contact cause he don’t see any letters coming to my cell. God knows I’m very lonely and wanting someone to share with. So whatever you are offering, that I must do to be hooked up with someone, I accept and thank you for.

Jim, CA

 

Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

My name is Kenneth. I would like one of your "Change Your Life Biblically" books. Please. I hear it’s very interesting and uplifting.

Kenneth, CA

 

Dear Brother Ronald,

I believe in the Lord and I could use some guidance from someone like yourself who has been in the "system" before. I would like to receive the workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically" and participate in the program. But I am indigent and have no money on my trust account. I am 46 years old and I have been on the streets of San Bernardino since 1985 and I don’t really have anybody to help me out financially. My parents passed away years ago, otherwise I would ask them for support or help. I am not trying to give you a sob story or asking for pity nor money. What I need is your ministries assistance in becoming a better Christian.

Rick, CA

 

Dear Ron,

Brother, I am sending my tithes and so excited because I have just recently started learning about what an honor it is to tithe to our Jesus. I pray all is going well for you and your family, also. I hope to hear from you soon. Since I wrote you last week with questions, I am only searching for truths, Jesus’ truths and nothing else. I want to honor and glorify my Lord in all I do, speak and think. I love Him so much to want to be misled in any way. Well brother, I am on my knees praying for us and your ministry everyday along with others here who have your book. May He do more than we can all imagine.

Diana, CA

 

Dear JCPM,

I am writing concerning your workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". A Christian convict told me about it and it drew my interest. It might possibly help me change for the better. I’m currently serving a life sentence. I’ve been in 23 years. I have no one out on the streets. My family gave up on me. I have no income. I want to learn how to live a normal life without drugs. Drugs sent me to prison. I don’t want to be that kind of person. I want to be a better person. Hopefully you can see it in your heart to send me the book, "Change Your Life Biblically" so it can help change me into a better person all around. I have never been a religious man but as of lately I have been reading the Bible. I read about 10 minutes a day - baby steps I call it. I’m still reading, must be doing something for me. Hope you could bless me by send me the book. I sure would enjoy it for sure.

Richard, CA

 

To Whom it may Concern,

I got your letter today and was grateful for it. It was a blessing. I am sending the 10 stamps so that you guys can bless me with this book, "Change Your Life Biblically". Thank you,

Manuel, CA

 

To Whom it Concern,

Just wondering since my primary language is Spanish, I was thinking if it is possible for you to send me God’s Word in Spanish so i can understand it more better and not get more confused. But in advanced, just want to say thank you for taking a little of your time to read this note.

Jose, CA

Folks, my heart is breaking. Hundreds of thousands want to read our book in Spanish. But we don’t have the $30,000 to have it printed. I pray that someone will look over their savings and investment accounts and see if they can live with $30,000 less so others can have eternal life. Thank you folks.

 

Dear Brother Ron,

Thank you so much for sending me the "Free on the Inside" Bible. Awesome! The breakdown in that Bible is in more detail & way easier to comprehend. I already read Genesis (Awesome book) & Exodus. Then I fast forwarded to Job. I gave my other Bible to my cellie. I passed out the flyers that you gave me. I will make some more tomorrow to hand out. That is so true & I have come to realize that God does make the decisions that happen in my life. So if I am blessed enough to go to fire camp, then it is God’s blessing. If not, I will continue to keep my faith in Him anyway; as well as continue to spread His Word & the word of your ministry. We just got off of lockdown to day. But I didn’t think it was so bad, just like you. I read a lot. So every day I live, I feel it’s another day to get it right & get closer to God.

Keith, CA

 

Dear Brother Ron,

Brother Ron, thank you for sharing with me this wonderful letter that I received this month about inmates that they really would like to have your book. Especial book to change their life biblically, but they don’t have anything money or stamp envelopes. That’s why I really love to support your program right now. I am gonna give you 10 stamped envelopes enclosed. Because I appreciate what you done to me and other inmates that they wanna change their life biblically and to be close to Jesus Christ and God our Savior and to obey the Commandments and the Sabbath day. Brother Ron, pray for me and my family and friends and I thank God they are all doing okay. Like me here in very lonely place and crowded. Ron, I got 12 more years to go and I’m 29 years old. I hope this 12 years to be in prison isn’t gonna be hard for me and my family. Especially my mom and dad. They are getting old. Brother Ron, I am gonna send you more stamps or stamped envelopes to help your small but strong program. Thank you very much for your help and may God continue to bless you and your ministry.

Rio, CA

 

Brother Ron,

I just wrote you two days ago and sent my tithes in that morning and low and behold, I received your encouraging letter explaining tongues, or rather, foreign languages. Ron, you don’t know how much I appreciated your explanation using "German" because I understood it. I sent your letter to my future husband, Richard, your brother also. That same night I received your letter, I also received mail from him which included a letter to him from you on the church. Wow! I am sorry to hear all this and yet, I see how we must not give allegiance to any human institution over our Lord Jesus. I grew up Catholic and only through Richard and his beautiful mom have I come to learn about Jesus. I want to thank you for standing for truth only. I pray to have the strength to do the same, no matter what the cost. I also want to thank you for helping me along the way since I have only come to my Lord here in custody, and am young in Him; yet so in love with Him that I lack the words to properly express my love. I am in awe of His love and mercy toward us sinners. Please keep us in prayer to persevere and for His will with mercy toward us in our trial.

Your Sister, Diana, CA

 

Dear Family in Christ,

I am 35 years old and I am a new student of the Bible. I have really made a commitment to learn as much of God’s Word as I can. Another inmate gave me your address and mentioned that you would be able to provide me with books. I would greatly appreciate any and every material you will send me.

Rose, TX

 

Ron,

I came to read a little of your book with a bunkie that I had . She has your book and we studied. I was truly blessed. My bunkie gave me the application to send you and told me that I could receive one. Right now I don’t have any money on my books. I don’t have any moral support from my family. I’ve hurt them so much they are mad at me. So if I could please have one of your books sent my way as soon as I can help you out I surely will.

Elizabeth, CA

 

Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

Brother John, I received your letter about your prison ministry. I would very much like to be able to participate in your ministry and receive your workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". However I am completely indigent and unable to send you any stamps or funds. All I have is the indigent envelopes the prison supplies. I have no outside assistance to help me. While I cannot support you financially, I will pray for your ministry. I pray that you may find a way to allow me to participate in your ministry and benefits.

Steven, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I would like to thank you for the letter you sent me. I’m totally indigent and have no one sending me money from the outside. If you are not able to send me your book I will understand. But could you still send me your newsletter.

Nelson, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I am writing you to request a copy of your "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. I’m sending my request to you with this brother of mine in the Lord because I am indigent and don’t have an envelope to send my request. So please honor my request along with my brother.

Paul, CA

 

To Whom it may Concern,

I received a letter stating all you have to offer and encourage a $5 donation if possible. Sir, honestly, at this time I am totally indigent. However, shall I have funds for stamps in the future, I assure now I will send them to you. However I did pass out your other coupons and one guy sent you stamps and another is having his sister send you a donation which he said would be larger than $5.

Rob, CA

 

God bless you Ron,

and the whole prison ministry. I want to thank you for the new November issue I received. Also, I am sending two books of stamps for my tithes. Like I promised, I will continue to send more. God willing. I have been studying my book and yes, it is excellent. Hard, but a stubborn knucklehead like me needs it. Can I ask you a question? How do you know if it’s God’s will and not my own will and thoughts? I am so confused.

Darlene, CA

 

Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I finished your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". There is no other way to say this other than "Thank you, Thank God." That Bible study was so eye opening it has changed my life. Thanks also for the newsletters. I have been lost for a long time. I turned my back on God and stopped praying. Never read the Bible in over 10 years. I knew God when I was younger. My anger, my stupidity blinded me. Gangs, drugs, alcohol, violence and false teachings of men. I was lost. I was struck down and almost killed a year ago. It humbles me to know He still loves me, a lonely sinner. I am going to do the study a couple more times before I send the answers to you. I’m just amazed at how your book has touched so many lives. Lives that have been "Chalked up".

Richard, CA

 

Dear Pastor,

I want to say, "Thank you so much for my book, "Change Your Life Biblically". God bless you. I show all my Christian brothers. I know I’m blessed. I’ve been a Christian now for a year. I’m an "X" gang member, skin head drop out. Yes, that’s right, I used to be a racial. I used to worship Hitler. You couldn’t get me to pick up a Bible. Now I’m 39 years old and decided it’s time to change. I’ve been in and out of prison since 1985. I’m proud to say I’m a Christian. Now I can sit at a table with a black man and study God’s Word. God bless this ministry.

Larry, CA

 

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

I’ve been through a lot of hard times in my past. People tells me that God has a plan for me but I’ve still not tried to find out what that plan is. Now it’s time I work on my way to become a better person in life. I’ve started in one part and that is that I’ve dropped out of the gang I was in. Now it’s time I work on becoming a better Christian. I’m looking forward to getting your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" so that it can give me more insight on what I’m working to become. I’ve read some of the letters some people wrote and how this book gave them valuable information so that they can build a solid foundation. That’s what I want at this time. Please send me whatever books that could help me, please.

Duane, CA

This next letter comes from one of our wonderful donors. We sure do appreciate our donors and their love for this ministry.

Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

Keep working for the Lord by the grace He gives. Do not give the enemy an inch. You are in our prayers. Jesus be with us always and those we touch and give us early rain victory so we can become fitted vessels for the latter rain (Jeremiah 5:24).

Mike & Jean, WA

This next letter came in from one of our wonderful donors. She writes:

Dear Workers for People to know our Lord,

I don’t know how you got my name, but I’m glad you did. I received your little booklet yesterday. Praise God for the miracles He has done and is doing for prisoners behind bars. "We are all prisoners of sin until Jesus sets us free". I call it a heart transplant. "Old things pass away and all things become new." I cannot pledge or promise any set amount to help you and your ministry. I am on a set income, Social Security. I send my tithes and offerings to different ministries that are sending the 3 Angels to many places. I prefer to help small ministries rather than large. I want to hear God say, "She hath done what she could." I will appreciate receiving your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" for myself and then loan it to others. I am enclosing $25. I will appreciate receiving your newsletter too. I used to be involved with prison ministry but because of age (90) and some health problems, I can’t do what I used to do.

Dorothy, NE

 

Dear Ronald John,

Enclosed is my donation for the program. I look forward to all the information you will share. Well, I guess this makes 17,601 inmates and I will be waiting for this Bible course. May God’s blessing be upon you land all the inmates in this world who want to be free, free with Christ.  (as of this newsletter, 18,000 inmates)

Jonathon, MN

This letter came in today from a wonderful donor:

Dear Ron,

I received your brochure today and I will admit I was skeptical about it and what church your represent even though you said "Keeping the Sabbath day Holy". I wasn’t sure what day you considered as being the "Sabbath" until I found you give out "Steps to Christ" and "The Great Controversy". I am a poor widow with limited dwindling funds so I can’t give much, nor on a monthly bases. But my son was in jail 2 months ago. Would you send a packet to my son, Eugene? I do not need a gift myself, just for my son and friends. I’ll accept my gift in heaven.

Eva, NE

 

To Whom this may Concern,

I am writing you in concern of the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I would like to receive a copy of the book. But the thing is, I don’t have any money or stamps because I am an indigent inmate. But I was hoping you could find it in your heart to please send me my own issue. I’ve heard that it is a remarkable book. Well, that is all for now till I hear from you.

Larry, CA

 

JCPM,

I’ve read a little of this book and heard it’s very good. I would really like to have a copy of, "Change Your Life Biblically". I have no money, just a wish to learn about God.

Henry, CA

 

Ronald,

Wow! How to start. I sent you my address approximately a week ago and am very anxious to hear back from you. As of right now I am indigent but I’ve sent my people your web site and asked that they provide my stamps so I can receive "Change Your Life Biblically". Since I have arrived at reception I have been most blessed multiple times. The Lord has moved me around this yard until He was happy with the cellmate I got. My second cellie was a fellow brother and that’s where I originally got your address. He told me about the study book. I thought "cool". I thought I’d stay there. Nope, only 2 days. I prayed to get another Christian celly. Prayer most answered, praise God. It just so happens the guy who gave my second cellie your address is my new cellie. He has already received his certificate and gets JCPM newsletters. The Lord works in mysterious ways. He has opened my eyes to many things most of which he has learned from your book. I just finished volume 2 and was moved to write you a letter. I think what you are doing is most awesome. So many people are being misled to their own destruction. My cellie will most likely be leaving this next week and I’ll be most disappointed to see him go because we do much studying together. So therefore, I am reading your study book rather quickly. But am retaining much knowledge out of it. I am also anxiously waiting to receive my own so I can read it for a second time and receive my certificate. As I mentioned earlier, I’m trying to get my Christian friends to donate to your ministry. I would like to serve the Lord in your ministry when I parole.

Cody, CA

 

JCPM,

I am tired of my sinful, prideful life that has imprisoned me for 23 years. I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life and grow in the perfection and righteousness of Jesus Christ. I’m pleading with your ministry to help me in my new life changing walk with Jesus. To help guide me with your "Change Your Life Biblically". I have no money, no family, no stamps. I am fed up with my old ways of serving my own selfish desires and I want Salvation and I want to serve Jesus from now on instead of serving me or gangs.

Ralph, CA

 

JCPM,

I am sorry to say I am not a prison inmate. But the book was given to me by someone who received a bunch of them from you. I read through it and I am happy with the contents. If you may also send me more books, "Change Your Life Biblically" so I can distribute to some friends who are also in need of them. Thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you for this wonderful work you are doing.

Elijah, Mwense, Zambia, Central Africa

Folks, I would love to send him a case of books. I would love to send him one book. But until we get the next edition printed, we have so few books that I am getting scared. We need 10 people to step up and provide at least $5,000 each so we can get more books printed. Then we can meet the many requests, not only of inmates, but those from over seas such as Elijah. Please pray that God will touch hearts

I want to thank each one of you for your love in continuing to support this little ministry.

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
