"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
PRAISE THE LORD
Prison Mission Report!
Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ,
"In heaven there is perfect order, perfect obedience, perfect peace and harmony. Those who have had no respect for order or discipline in this life would have no respect for the order which is observed in heaven. They can never be admitted into heaven, for all worthy of an entrance there will love order and respect discipline. The characters formed in this life will determine the future destiny. When Christ shall come, He will not change the character of any individual. Precious, probationary time is given to be improved in washing our robes of character and making them white in the blood of the Lamb. To remove the stains of sin requires the work of a lifetime. Every day renewed efforts in restraining and denying self are needed. Every day there are new battles to fight and victories to be gained. Every day the soul should be called out in earnest pleading with God for the mighty victories of the cross. Parents should neglect no duty on their part to benefit their children. They should so train them that they may be a blessing to society here and may reap the reward of eternal life hereafter." EGW {4T 429.2}
Dear Ron,
I wanted to let you know that by God’s grace I’ve been able to put more and more fliers around, so many will write your ministry. I realize how many want and need the Lord. Most have been depressed and rejected and I ask prayer for them. I feel a purpose now that I can participate in the harvest.

JCPM,
I wrote you a couple of months ago and ordered your wonderful workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically". I must tell you, I was enjoying reading it until someone stole it. It amazes me that someone would take something so holy. All I can do is pray for them and hope that they take advantage and learn from it. I don’t mind it if they put it to good use and change their ways. Maybe it was God’s plan to change someone’s life. Things happen for a reason. I’m enclosing 10 stamps for a new book.
Jesus, CA
Dear Ron,
I met a friend here who has a book called, "Change Your Life Biblically". Could you please send me a copy of this wonderful book?
Danny, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I was recently reading this wonderful book but I didn’t get very far and I’d love to read more of it. So here I’m asking you if you could and would please send me this book. The book name is "Change Your Life Biblically". I’m really trying to get close to God and trying to understand the Bible. Thanks to God for this book, it’s opening my eyes to understand and believe more in the Bible and it’s teachings.
Felipe, CA
Dear Ron,
Ok, Ok, I thought, "Well, maybe I can help still while I am incarcerated", since I’m clueless as to how long I will be locked up; I do have a prison term coming, can I help with stamps? This way when you do have someone indigent it won’t hurt so bad. So if it works for you I will send stamps now and again. Kind of like tithing. I am so very taken with the study. I would say, "You just don’t know", but you do know!!! Wonderful. It is a time for new beginnings and I am one in Christ,
Christine, CA
Brother in Christ,
I hope you don’t mind, but at the moment I need your shoulder and an ever so listening ear. I’m not asking for sympathy. What I need, if you please, is to be heard out. I’m lonely and don’t have no one to turn to who may relate to besides Jesus of course. Brother, lately the intense slander is rising and all motivated because of the Sabbath. In the past I’ve been slandered by "protestant" believers as having a demon or being a homosexual, etc. But today the betrayal comes from one who claimed to be close; publicly insulting me, lying and making me out to be a big time "snitch" in a group of full attention of over 50 inmates. Some knowing he is lying and strictly motivated by motives tracing back to how "his" church has been affected by my preaching of "solo Scripture" which calls for repentance of sins and to obey God’s law. I’m only 23 years old. The depth of sins has caused me to shatter already at such a young age. I question why? Why did it have to take place? But God’s Word rings well in my heart to be still and know He is God and that it’s better to be wronged for doing right rather than wronged for doing wrong. After three years of learning God’s truth and teaching it, I don’t regret the blessings and trials I’ve experienced because of God’s Word. I’ve put my genuine effort to remove all trace of sin in my life. Yet, boy oh boy, it doesn’t take away from being tired of attacks. But NOT tired enough to satisfy Satan and quit. I know this could only draw me closer to Christ. Well brother, thank you for listening. I feel better. Thank you Jesus. I appreciate your support brother Ronald John. Thank you tons for your assistance.
Frankie, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I just got one of your letters on Monday and one today, Thursday. Sometimes it takes a little wile for the mail to get to this yard. I’m glad you wrote back. Anyway, thank you very much for the book. I have not gotten it yet. I will probably get it within the next 2 weeks. The first book was all there. Some of the pages were ripped out and put into the back of the book. I’m in the process of reading it a second time. I must tell you, you are by far the most knowledgeable person I have ever met when it comes to the Bible. I thank you very much for sharing that knowledge with me. It really helped me a lot and changed me for the love of Christ and helped to answer a lot of questions about the Bible that I never fully understood before. I have given out a couple of your invitations already and next time I get out of the cell I will hand out the rest. I have already tested some of the "so called" Christians here about the Sabbath and Christmas, etc. and pagan holidays. I blew their minds. They kept trying to make excuses but finally realized that their excuses were useless. When I read the book, I must say I was pretty scared. Before I read it I kind of thought I was living all right by God’s standards. But I now realize I was far from that. I’ve already quit eating meat. I’m not quite sure I could ever fully fill your shoes, but I would love to dedicate my life trying to and doing God’s work. Life is far to short to be in and out of prison and I believe every word of your book. I believe in what you are doing. I believe what you are doing will help lots of people. I want to be a part of it. I am thrilled that you would even ask me. I give my word that I will dedicate my life to doing God’s work. I want you to use me in any way you can in fulfilling God’s will. Let me know any and every thing I can do while I’m in here that will be useful.
Lee, CA
Brother Ron,
I just wanted to let you know your book is a bomb. I love it. There is so much in there I needed to hear. Also, your little magazine with all the letters, I really dig.
Gaylan, CA
Dear Ron,
My name is Atallah. I’m a detainee in a deportation center in Texas. I love your wonderful book. My friend let me look at it for some time and I didn’t finish reading it. By the way, I was born in Amman Jordan. I am Christian Palestinian. I like to have a copy for myself. I found so much information in your book that has helped me. When my friend showed me about the manuscripts being discovered in Khirbat Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in Jordan, I was amazed. I also read Sodom & Gomorrah, the Red Sea crossing and many others. I really felt full of information because I have been to the Red Sea and the Dead Sea many times. I would like a copy for myself to brag about the Lord. I’m keeping the Sabbath day and the Ten Commandments.
Atallah, TX
Dear Ronald,
I just wanted to write and say "Hi". I am thoroughly enjoying the workbook, "Change Your Life Biblically" and I’m taking my time on the test section in the back of the book to make sure I answer all the questions correctly before I send them back. I will be sending you some stamps here in the next days so to help out some other inmate to receive this inspirational book of truth. I’ve been handing out more request forms to other inmates to fill out for the book.
Michael, CA
To Who It May Concern,
I’m 21 years old and I’m currently in prison. This is my first term and I’m currently in the hole. My neighbor introduced me to your book, "Change Your Life Biblically" and I was intrigued. He gave me the address and told I could write and receive a book of my own. I really want to change my life. Once I get out I come to realize this system is not for me. Personally I like my freedom and in order to do that I must follow our Lord’s Word. I’m willing to learn in order not to come back and waste my years away behind bars and politics. Your book has caught my attention which is hard to do. I would like to receive a book, "Change Your Life Biblically" so I can read my own book and change for the better.
Jose, CA
Dear Ronald,
Hear are some stamps I promised to send. I will send more when I get a chance. I can’t begin to thank you enough for "Change Your Life Biblically". I’ve known for years now the true Sabbath is on Saturday. But for those who don’t know, you prove it through the Bible itself. Once again, thank you Ron and God bless you.
Michael, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
A few months ago a Friend of mine sent you 10 stamps so that I could receive the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". At the moment I’m in the process of my second reading. I’m really moved how you break everything down and back it up with scripture. I’ve done other studies before, but this is different because I’m finally learning the truth. Something I’ve been searching for a long time. Thank you for everything. I also enjoy the monthly flyers.
Darrin, FL
Dear Brethren,
I came across one of the books you have published with my friend entitled, "Change Your Life Biblically". I read through the book and found that it is a book with the message to help me grow spiritually. I am hereby asking the same favor you did to my friend. I wish you to send me the same book and other spiritual books such as Spirit of Prophecy, Daniel and the Revelation, etc. I remain waiting patiently to hear from you in the name of our Savior.
Mwape , Zambia
(Sorry Mwape but we are no longer able to pay the postage to send a case to Zambia. We pray that God will touch hearts so we can again send cases of books to Africa. Over 40 names in many countries are begging for the book. We have to wait until we have a larger donor base. We can hardly make it month by month with the few donors we have now.)
Dear Brother Ronald John,
Thank you for your letter. Thank you for praying for me that God will prepare me for my missionary work in El Salvador when I get back. Yes, I am practicing right now in here. I have been passing out the forms for the "Change Your Life Biblically" book. I have been sharing what I have learned from the book. Yes, I will for sure keep in touch with you when I get back to El Salvador. God knows I will need all the help I can get in my missionary work. I want you to know that my missionary work is going the way God wants it to be. I am seeing fruits from the seeds that have been planted in hearts.
Juber, CA
Ronald,
Hello. The reason I’m writing is because you sent a letter to my bunkie. I would like to get the workbook called, "Change Your Life Biblically" and see what your ministry has to offer. I’m ready for change in my life. I’ve been to CYA and now prison and I’m done or want to be done with it. I need some help. I burnt all my bridges on the streets. I had to get this stamped envelope from my bunkie. Like I said, I need change in my life. I have a son that is only 5 months old and I need to be in his life.
Joe, CA
Brother Ron John,
Once again you’ve out done yourself. Thank you for every thing. It brings joy to my heart to hear from you and the ministry. Well, any day now I am awaiting transfer. You and I both know they send you where ever, so I am going to wait to send my pen-pal slip in. I am sending 12 stamps, seeing as I just got a book, I gladly give up what God has blessed me. Not too much more going on. Just staying in my Bible all day which I’m blessed with wisdom. Plus, rereading CYLB as it also has the truth.
Nicholas, CA
Dear Ron,
I’ll be out soon. God is good to us. Ron, "Change Your Life Biblically" has opened my eyes and never will turn back to what I believed before. Ron, I pray others get what I have out of this book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I will stay in contact to let you know where I am.
Ronald, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
I’m 25 years old. I’m doing 5 years for carjacking. I have a little over two years left to do of my time. I would really like to use the rest of my time changing my ways. I’m willing to do what ever it takes to change my life. I don’t have anyone taking care of me. I am totally indigent. I really want to be used by the Lord.
Mariano, CA
Dear Christian Brothers,
Please send me your "Change Your Life Biblically" workbook. It has been highly recommended to me by people I trust. I am anxiously awaiting starting on it.
John, ID
Dear Brother Ron,
Thank you for the Prison Mission Report. Also for putting my testimony in there as well. I was so excited I showed all the brothers here. They were excited as well. I went around and got one stamp from the brothers each. So I am sending you five and one brother here said he will be getting ten stamps so we can send you. I get out this year and I would like to help you with what I can. Your workbook has really opened my eyes to a lot of truth. So I thank you so much. I know it was all God’s will for your book to fall into my hands. What a blessing. And yes, I would like to join your ministry. Just let me know what I need to do.
Santiago, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
It was good to hear from you. I’m sure you are busy as always. All the typing, writing, sending, folding... I pray that God will give you the strength that you need. It’s been pretty rougher than usual for me so far. Everybody started getting the flu like symptoms where they have to use the bathroom constantly with diarrhea and vomiting. So the prison was put on quarantine. It’s been like this almost a whole month. As for me, I was one of the fortunate, blessed by God, guys who didn’t get sick. And thank God I didn’t. Then there was a riot between the Caucasian inmates and the Hispanic inmates with many in critical condition and a couple of deaths. They got stabbed to death. It was all because of some drug addict who messed up and owed money and... and he’s the only one that didn’t get hurt. Not that I wanted him to get hurt, but it’s ironic that the only one that started it all was the only one not involved and not hurt. Because it was pretty sad for those guys who lost their lives because of a dope-head’s mistake. Only if they had Christ in their hearts. So tragic. Also, just the other day, as I was doing my Bible studies with my brothers, studying the book of Daniel, this old man claiming to be a "Hebrew", just jumped into our Bible study rudely while I was speaking and started talking over me and started saying that I was teaching falsely. I’ve spoken to him before and he claims to be a real Jew with secret knowledge from God: believes in aliens, those rejected scriptures like "Enoch", Judas", Mary". He claims to keep the Sabbath and yet watches vain shows on TV during the Sabbath and tells people that he would like to be with this woman, that woman and complains about everything. I see no trace of Christ in him. Later I prayed and asked God to show me or reveal to me what I should do about this guy always trying to interrupt the Bible study. The next day God started showing me Scriptures that confirmed the old man to be a false teacher (MT. 7:15-20, Jer. 23:15-32). The next Bible study I brought those Scriptures and taught the group how to recognize a false teacher. And it just happens that the old man didn’t show up afterwards. What a great God we worship. I’ve been sharing the Word with a few individuals alone and I think God’s starting to open this religion hating guy’s heart. He told me that he sees so many hypocrites that organized religion is nothing but sham. But the seed has been planted and I hope to see that seed grow one day. Well, keep me and my brothers in prayer. I will also be praying for your ministry. May God bless you and His little ministry.
Timmy, CA
Brother Ron,
The past year has been good for me. I try to remind myself that I get stronger and closer to God as each month goes by. It’s best that when I get this time that it will be for good. I gave up dope, pruno, smoking all this past year and I have had the opportunities to do all. I didn’t do it for better health, although that is a good reason, I did it to please God and be obedient. Learn to have faith, be obedient, be perfect. I’m trying to make the most of this time and honoring the Sabbath: Is. 58:13, 14. Really helps. My brother Richard didn’t receive his books for whatever reason. I think he was out to court. I’m going to send you 10 stamps and his address again. Please send him a book. I want you to know your book is great. Keep up the good work. Please send one to my mom because I want them both to have it. I think it’s one of the best books I’ve read. I know if they had it they would read it. My mom is new to the word and really doesn’t know how to begin and won’t send off for any books on her own. My brother has been into the Word for a while, but thinks you need to belong to a big church. I know he will read the book after he gets it.
Danny, CA
Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,
I’m writing this letter because a couple of days ago, someone gave me a brochure from your ministry. I enjoyed reading the letters from other inmates and how the book, "Change Your Life Biblically" helped them a lot. I hope the book can help me out too. So if you can please send me a copy of your book, it would be highly appreciated.
Sal, CA
Hello Brother Ronald,
I received your letter and as always glad to hear from you. Since I’ve begin to study "Change Your Life Biblically" I have learned a lot about things I was being taught that was not true. I have started focusing on the scripture in Philippians 4:8 which states whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. I am applying this to my life. I am learning that the key to contentment is realizing that God has given me in my circumstances everything I need to remain victorious in Christ and that is the book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I have learned that Satan if he can capture your thoughts he can defeat you. See, when you think on the wrong thing, you’re going to believe on the wrong thing. So in other words, I’m thinking on the things that are written in "Change Your Life Biblically". Everything that I’ve read in it lines up with the Word of God.
Cedric, TX
Hello,
I extend my warmest Christian love to all. I received your letter. Since then I have been transferred to SHU (the Hole), where I’ll be for a while. I’m not to popular for making the choice to drop out of the gang life. I’m indigent and apologies but if I should receive funds in the future I will gladly send you an offering of appreciation. I know it must be hard at times but I know the Lord will bless you for the great work you are doing. I came across your book a few months ago by some one else who and it. There were many things that caught my eye and interested me. Being a new Christian I’m seeking the truth. I don’t want to fall into that religion pattern that seems so dual and lifeless. I want to experience the life, joy, love and peace of Christ. I thank you for your time and the love you give by giving of your time to help others.
Henry, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
First off I would like to thank you for the letter. I really would like a "Change Your Life Biblically" book. At first I didn’t have the stamps. But my cellie, my brother in Christ, blessed me with them so that I may send them to you. I feel that you are doing a great thing for Christ. Yes, I would like to work for Christ in this ministry. Please send me everything you can about it.
David, CA
Dear Brother Ronald,
I am writing to you to thank you for the "Change Your Life Biblically". I finished the book last week and I was going to start it all over again once I got out. But as you can see, I wasn’t released. Somehow I got, or should I say, they got, my out date all wrong. But they are working on it to get things right. I’m not worrying cause I have God in my life and I put all things in His hands. Brother Ron, the main reason I’m writing to you is because I do want to serve our Lord Jesus Christ on the outs. I pray to be out in the next couple of days or weeks. But if I do get out before I receive your response, I will write you from home. I have been sharing what I’ve been learning with my cellie and we have Bible studies when ever they give us day room time. I love talking about the love that Jesus has for us and all the things He has done in my life to keep me safe always. I need you to let me know what I can do for Jesus once I’m out.
Victor, CA
Brother Ron,
Well, I just received your letter and let me thank you for making it possible for me to do something with my life. May God keep on blessing you. I want to let you know that I have made a promise to God to translate your book. Yes, I will tell my counselor that I will be paroling to your ministry. Well, thank you again. I saw the picture of the office. Let me tell you, it’s more than I deserve. So I thank you again. I am looking forward to meeting your son Jeff. From what you tell me, we got a lot in common. As soon as I get my new release date, I will send it to you.
Herman, CA
Dear Ron,
Praise the Lord that ya’ll are spreading the truth. I was a Catholic for most of my life. And I was doubting the faith. Now at last I know the truth. Thank ya’ll so much. I no longer have the book. Someone let me use it and have the answer sheets in it. They read it trying to find things wrong with it. He didn’t care about the book. But I do. I want to stay perfect. It’s my second day, thank God! My whole family is Catholic. But they don’t mess with me. I really think you’re a warrior for the Lord. I want to be just like that. Help people learn about the Lord. So thanks again and God be with you.
Joshua, NC
Sir,
I am writing to ask for "Change Your Life Biblically". I must tell you the only reason I am able to write is the state gives free indigent envelopes. I am broke financially but rich in the treasures of the Lord. I have been seeking God diligently since I have been down and believe your book can help me or I wouldn’t ask for it.
Tom, CA
Dear Brother Ron,
I enjoy getting letters from you. Not very many people write me. Yes, you are right. I’m not familiar with intelligent communication. Pretty much, any talking I’ve done with people has been about foolish things. Things of the world. Talking about God, talking about things that are right and just is new to me. I’m 23 and came to prison at 18. I started using drugs when I was 13 with my mom. Started gangbanging when I was 13. I never knew my real dad. Always had step-dads. My mom started using drugs at 18. That’s when she had me. She used to take me and my brother out on her drug runs. I was only 6 or 7 and my brother was 2 or 3. At thirteen that’s when all hell broke loose. I was surrounded by women, drugs and violence. I used to start fights just to do it. Just to prove that I was a gangster. Stupid, ha? I never went to a real high school. That sums up my life to this point. All I’ve ever done is wrong. So many people tried to help me. I just never listened.
Anthony, NV

Brother George is fighting is INS deportation and needs a pro bono lawyer. Lopez, TX
My dear donors. Over the past 11 years I have sent some of you our VHS tape and DVD. However, I have learned that many of them may have been defective. I apologize. I think some of you were just to kind to let me know that they were not working properly. I thank you for your love and kindness, but I am very embarrassed.
Please, those of you who have a defective VHS or DVD, please let me know. I have finally corrected and improved them. God wants each one of you to have this DVD (VHS for those who only have VHS players) to share with others and use in your missionary work. It is a great DVD to invite church members, family and neighbors over to watch. A great way to get discussion going.
Love in Christ,
Ron
