Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Here it is coming up on Thanksgiving. How fast this year has gone. I want to give thanks for the Lord and all He has done for this little ministry. He has provided each and every one of you to be such great friends to us. We are so undeserving, but yet, He has chosen you folks to be blessed by blessing this little ministry. Thank you from all of my heart.
JCPM, I would like to request the workbook. Enclosed are 20 stamps. Please use the other 10 stamps to bless someone who is "indigent". I am an "ex-gang member" and ready to get my heart right with the Lord and stopped playing with life. From the sound of your workbook in your letter it’ll help get me on the right track. Thank you all at JCPM for helping people behind bars find their way with the Lord. Jerry, TX
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, A fellow inmate talked so highly of your Bible study course, I asked him for your address. I sure would love and enjoy taking your Bible course. Would you please start me on it. Richard, CA
Dear Mr. John, I received your letter after I had requested a Bible study book. I would really like one. I am indigent. I don’t receive much help from the outside. If you could still help me with a book, I would really appreciate it. I have given a couple of girls the forms you sent me so I pray they will send their information to you. I have moved and will enclose my new address. Also, I was wondering if you would also send a book to my husband. He just learned yesterday he has to top his time which is 8 years. I know he just accepted Jesus in February and I really feel he could use any spiritual guidance right now. I would appreciate it so much. I am so excited about the workbook. I feel both my husband and I will benefit greatly from it. Mandy, ID
Dear Brother Ron, This letter is to let you know that I received your most welcomed letter and book titled, "Change Your Life Biblically". It is easy to read and I’m enjoying it much, "Thank you". I would also like to inform you of a Christian brother that is also here. He speaks little English and communicates mostly in Spanish. He would like to also receive the books in Spanish. If not please send the English version. Thank you very much Ron. You’ve been very helpful and I appreciate your assistance very much. Rene, CA
Dear Pastor, Stephen Osei is my name. I am an elder, Personal Ministry Leader and Coordinator in my church, about 250-300 members. I completed my advanced level, but financial setbacks have stopped me for a while. I have been reading a lot of books. A friend of mine lent a book known as "Change Your Life Biblically". Like I said, I read more books. But I must be sincere, the book is very good for everybody. May God bless you. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for good work done. The topics are well explained and informative. I planned to use the topics for Bible studies if I am supplied. When my school mates, friends, elders saw the book, they immediately requested some of the books. I could not provide them with books because I told them that I collected the book from a friend of mine. We are badly need some of the books. They will set people free. I know the power of the everlasting gospel. I have been visiting our local prison once in every quarter to worship with them. They have been asking for books. We thank God for giving us such an opportunity to be supplied us books in order to distribute to them. God has given you to us in order to propagate the gospel here. We thank you for the chance you have given us to grow in Spirit. Stephen, Ghana, Africa (Folks, we are out of funds. As of today, 10-16-06, only $1300 have come in. We need immediate help or we are not going to make it. Thank you for understanding.) Dear Brother Ronald John, I am sorry for not writing to you in time but it was that I was waiting to see if my family will send me money to buy some stamps so that I could send them to you so that I could get your workbook. But until now, I still haven’t received any money and I can’t get 10 stamps from no one. So, if you could, please send me the workbook. I will appreciate it because I’m interested and I want to change my life by living the way God wants me to. Jorge, CA
To Whom it may Concern, I am writing to you to ask if I could please receive the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I am totally indigent and I have recently accepted Christ into my heart. I read a little of the book in reception and I would like to read more. Robert, CA
Dear Brother, I would love to receive the free workbook. It is so great to have ministries like yours to help people like myself grow. I’m only 27 years old and my life has lately been behind bars: 6 years in CYA (California Youth Authority), 5 years in prison. Mikey, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, After getting a quick look through your workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically" that another fellow inmate had just received, I became very interested in having a copy for myself. I feel that there are a lot of valuable information that can help build a solid foundation in my relationship with the Lord. Also, I have the up most respect and share the same belief which is stated in your pamphlet that: it is not about church or denomination or any organization. That your teaching focuses on Jesus and His teachings as our Savior. Xuan, CA
To Whom it may Concern, I was blessed to receive your brochure from a brother who encourages me to keep the faith and know when the right time arrives God will bless me as He sees fit. So I keep the faith. I am very interested in being a part of everything Jesus Christ Prison Ministry has available for prisoners. I would love a free workbook to help me study and learn. I am an indigent inmate. Will you please help me? Paul, CA
Dear Brother, I’m looking forward to getting the workbook. I want to learn as much as I can about our Savior. I do not want to live for me any more. But I want to live for God. I pray to become a great brother in Christ and not by my works but by the Lord’s works. I’m sending my ten stamps and can’t wait to get my workbook. May the Lord bring great blessings to your ministry. Nathan, CA Brother in Christ, I thank you so much for the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". It was given to me by another inmate. I found a lot of things I loved, especially to obey the Commandments. My question is, I asked a pastor about the Commandments and he says that we are not under the law any more and are under faith. Then I ask about why do they go to church Sunday. He said because it was when Jesus was resurrected and met with His disciples in the upper room. Then others tell me Jesus nailed all that to the cross. They tell me not to read the book because it’s only confusing me. But to me, I like it and I know the truth will set me free. I’m so tired of my old life and want to do what God wants. Where can I find Commandment keeping people in prison when everyone I see worships on Sunday? Please help me out, if you can. How can I show them the real truth if they follow the worldly churches. Please keep in touch. Carlos, CA
Hi, I am writing you about the books you wrote me about. You make a provision in your letter for people that have no money and have no support of any kind from the outside. You see, I have no one on the outside. No support and no job as of yet. I have applied but no luck yet as jobs are few and far between here. So yes, I am indigent. I love to read the Bible and would enjoy your Bible study books. Dale, AZ
Ronald John, I heard about your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I really want to change my life and I look forward to doing the workbook. Please send me your book. John CA
Dear Ronald John, I am writing to say "Thank you" for the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". It has answered so many questions I’ve had for years. I also like to receive your prison mission report every month and read of other brothers and sisters in Christ who have found the love of Jesus Christ. Well, keep up the good work. Alfredo, CA
Dear Brother in Christ, Thank you for sending me "Change Your Life Biblically". It is a blessing. I will enjoy every word written as I can feel the life within its message. You have made the love of Jesus Christ overflow within my heart because of this book. The power and Spirit of God live within the pages of your book. I can feel it every time I open it. God said through the Spirit and life of His words and His Son Jesus Christ, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. This book is all three. To open it is the way, to have faith in what it says is the truth. And it begins to change your life. Bobby, CA
Dear Brother Ron, You surely are blessed. I haven’t written to you for a while because I was transferred and because I’ve been sick. I’ve heard people here speak of your book and of course I’ve told people of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" here too. A new friend just came up to me and showed me your letter. He was excited about getting his own "Change Your Life Biblically" book. He wants to come over here to use mine. It seems that I am taking extra special time in answering the answer sheets this second time around. I want to get them all correct. I owe you an apology Ron for writing out of anger a couple of months ago. I have no excuses other than "I thought" I was correct in answering the first set of questions. Paganism is what’s going on every TV station. I’ve slowed down on all my Bible studies. I was trying to do too much all at one time. I figured if I could show Jesus just how good of a student I was maybe just maybe He would include me in the 144,000 special souls He’s going to take for the New Heavens. I was putting too much on it. God bless you, Rick, CA
To: Director Ronald John, I must tell you that I am doing fine and yes, I am working the book. I’m not done with it but will be soon. Please forgive me but I have been taking my time with it cause there is so much to learn from it. God is blessing me so much. I want to take this time to tell you that your book has been opening my eyes so much. Thank you for blessing me with it. Alcides, FL
Greetings, A brother in the faith recently showed me a book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". I turned to a page in the 3rd volume which mentioned the incorrect bias additions to the Word. This automatically peaked my interest in this literary research work. This brother donated to me stamps so I may receive a copy. I am a seeker of truth. This journey began 10 years ago and I am still uncovering truth under the centuries of man’s tampering and adulterating of Scripture and replacement theology. I desire truth. Levi, CA This next came to us via email: Hello! I have the names and addresses of three individuals who would greatly benefit from your ministry, and I’d like to pass them along to you. Each is looking at extended periods of incarceration, and all feel like they have been abandoned by society as a result of their actions. All three have a strong faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ, and I know that they would appreciate outreach from you and your fellowship. Please feel free to pass their addresses along to others, as I know they would welcome the contact. Sincerely, Irene, Seattle
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, Recently an inmate introduced me to one of your literary works. The title of it was "Change Your Life Biblically". I am always interested in literature that corresponds to the Bible. All I had was a quick peek at your book and was amazed at the correlations between historical landmarks and the scriptures of the Bible. I was wondering if you would be so kind to send me a copy of the book. Nicholas, CA
My Dear Brother in Christ, Another inmate who is truly my friend asked me if I read the Bible. I turned around like "Yes, I do happily". Then he presented to me "Change Your Life Biblically". After a rough draft of what the book contained I was deeply and sincerely impressed and wanting one of my own. I have read about 20 pages of the book already and it interested me beyond words. Keith, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, I was reading my Bible a few nights ago when another inmate showed me a book he has, called, "Change Your Life Biblically". It really got my interest. This inmate gave me your address so I could write you. If possible, I would like this book myself. There are a lot of interesting things in this book. So I would like to request if possible this book. Donald, CA The following letter came in via email. God is sure blessing. God is seeking out His sheep and getting them ready for His great homecoming. I have your book and DVD. I have read it through and have started again. I have watched your DVD. Wow! What I need to know is how did I find you in the first place. Do you advertise anywhere? I do not know any prisoners, so I didn’t hear of you from them. I need to know. I remember ordering your book and DVD but I don’t know how I knew about them to order them. Could you shed some light my way? My husband, who is just non-sha-lant about most preachers really enjoyed the DVD. "Right on!" I know this sounds nutty but I would really like to find out how I knew to send for your materials. If you have time to respond I would appreciate it. God bless, Neta, Email
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry, I have seen a book called "Change Your Life Biblically". I am very interested in getting my own. I currently have no means financially to send you. But my friend said you’ll accept stamps. Although he mentioned 10 stamps, I have only 5 stamps I could send. Please send me the above book so I can grow spiritually. Libardo, CA
JCPM, I wrote to you guys about the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". You told me I needed to send stamps. Well, my wife hasn’t sent them. But another inmate gave me his. He left here and went to another prison. He said he didn’t believe in the book. The good thing is, the book is in my hands now. I want to ask you, Can I do the answer sheets and send them to you? I still haven’t gotten my stamps yet. But I’ve been reading the book and before I start answering them and send them to you, I thought I would ask first. So I am waiting for your reply. I think it is a good thing not to waste the book. I want to do this Bible study so bad. Some other guy here completed it and he showed me his certificate. He shows everybody and he tells them this is the way to go. A lot of people are sending for it because he tells them to read his book. He lends it to them for 3 or 4 days. They all want their own now. Please write me back to tell me it’s OK. Aureliano, CA
Dear Ronald John, Thank you so much for sending me my certificate. You have made a very large impact on my life. Thanks for everything that you’ve done for me. I have introduced many people to your book. It’s a wonderful thing. Thanks again. I love you and will write again soon. Danny, CA
Dear Sir, Recently after 56 years I have finally been blessed. All it took was going to prison 3 different times. Now I’m trying to learn everything I can about the Bible. Unfortunately I am indigent and have no one out there that believes in me. I’m hoping that I get blessed with a job when I get to my next prison. Please bless me with all you can. I’ve wasted so much of my life away. Now it is time for me to be of service to Him for eternity. Jim, CA
Dear Sir, Just recently I happened across your Bible study book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was really impressed. I am very interested in receiving a copy of this book to further my study and knowledge of God’s Word. Can you help. Arturo, CA
JCPM, I am a prisoner here. My cellie told me about your workbook. I’d like to learn about Christ. I was told your book was good and helped explain the Bible which is still confusing to me. I’ve been in prison going on 16 years. I was 16 years old when I caught my case, a gang related murder. I’m serving 15 to life. I’ve been doing my time without Christ. I was stabbed pretty bad and came close to death last October. Everyone told me it wasn’t my time yet. That God has a plan for me. I struggle to find that purpose. Nothing has worked: gangs, alcohol, drugs. I’ve truly been miserable. So I’ve been going to church and just trying to stay strong. I feel maybe it’s time to give God a chance. I’m sending the 10 stamps. I could use all the friends I can get. Richard, CA
JCPM, Thank you so much. I learn more each time I pick up and reading, something new comes to light. This is an eye opening Bible study. I have "studied" many others, but this truly reveals truths I have never heard spoken/written before. I’m not very good at history so I had a hard time understanding. But I believe what was said. I have written others about this because here in isolation I have no one to share with. I have learned a lot. I have and still am rereading the book for my 5th time. Warren, TX
Dear Brother Ron, Good to hear from a true Christian brother like you. You really help me out a lot when you tell me how it is in the love of Jesus. I’ve wasted too many years hurting, hating and being stubborn in my heart. I’m ready to make up for lost time. I will start walking as Jesus did. It takes brothers like you to stand up for God and tell people about His love for them. You have finally got me to wake up and realize what life is all about Thank you for being patient with me for all the years I’ve known you. As you know, sometimes it takes others longer to wake up and realize God’s the only reason we are here. I have known you since 1999. My life has really been a battle between good and evil for seven years. I’m ready for the truth to be planted in my heart. Thank you for the Prison Mission Report this month. It’s been awhile since I got one. I like reading the Prison Mission Report. I get a lot out of it. Some of the stories really touch my heart. Makes me realize that I’m not the only one going through hard times. Some people are going through a lot more harder times than I am. My heart goes out to them. Brother, thank you for being there for all of us inmates and showing us how to live the righteous, perfect sin free life. I love the information you give me to help me in my walk with Jesus. Edward, MT
Dear Family in Christ, I just got my book, "Change Your Life Biblically". Thank you so much. Just two pages into the book and I got real excited because I knew this book was for me. I’m 27 years old and am tired of my old ways. I never wanted anything in my whole life as much as I want this peace that comes from the Lord. Nathan, CA
Dear Brother Ron, I’m writing to thank you for my "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. I’m learning so much from it. I read and reread and lean something new each time. I will be sending you my answer sheets back soon. I’m taking my time so I can enhance my knowledge of the Word. Mary, AZ
Hi, I am in a Utah prison and I have heard of your Bible study course. Would you please send me your booklet. I am at this time without money. My family has told me that this is it I do not have no more chances with them. Would you please send me your course so I can get started. Timothy, UT
Ron, Thanks for your input and response. Thanks for the application forms as there are several gentlemen who, after looking at my book, want one of their own. This book is a real eye opener and an answer to my prayer. So keep up your work in Christ. We all keep you in our prayers. Roger, CA
Dear Ron & Ministry, God bless you all for the beautiful spirit of obedience to our Lord to preach and share His truths as they really are. I have been blessed with a copy of your book and am going to read it again to fully absorb all these wealth's that differ from conventional Christianity. I would like to do my part in aiding you by sending you these stamps. God willing I will continue to do so as He blesses me with the ability to. Diana, CA
Dear Prison Ministry, I saw an inmate with one of your books, "Change Your Life Biblically". I would be interested if you could send me your book, please. I’m very interested in increasing my knowledge and spirit of the Word. Dion, CA
Dear JCPM, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing your calling from God as a true minister proclaiming the everlasting gospel. I have always known since the moment I decided to follow Jesus and allowed Him in my life to begin my Christian walk, that I totally had to leave sin out of my life. I would talk to ministers here in prison who said I would always sin, even when I’d come back to the cell, that it was not possible to be holy here and now on earth. I knew it was wrong. The Spirit of God must have been convicting me. I didn’t know about the Sabbath before because I had only been reading the New Testament. I have started to keep the Sabbath holy and keeping the rest of the commandments. And as I have, I do feel better. I feel I’m doing what God wants and not what people say is right. Joe, CA (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 |
