"In your association with others, put yourself in their place. Enter into their feelings, their difficulties, their disappointments, their joys, and their sorrows. Identify yourself with them, and then do to them as, were you to exchange places with them, you would wish them to deal with you. This is the true rule of honesty. It is another expression of the law. ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ Matthew 22:39. And it is the substance of the teaching of the prophets. It is a principle of heaven, and will be developed in all who are fitted for its holy companionship." {MB 134.3}

Dear Ron,

Enclosed find 35 Forever Stamps. I’m not rich, just want to help those young men who need to get a 2nd chance and your book. I know some who were in prison so I want to help when I can. Because of His love.

Mary, IL (non-inmate)

Ronald John,

I wrote to your organization after reading "Change Your Life Biblically". It was one of the best workbooks I have encountered. It is my deep desire to write for information on working for Jesus in this ministry. I truly hope to be considered for "Change Your Life Biblically". We have started a Bible study here at this facility. There are only three of us but we hope to grow. An inmate loaned me your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I stopped attending the Catholic services.

Sidney, CA

Dear Brother in Christ,

Let me thank you for everything you do for God’s benefit. I came across a fellow brother in Christ. I was inspired by your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". It’s a wonderful book. The first few pages grabbed my attention right away. It would be a blessing for me to obtain my own copy since my buddy is no longer with me.

Daniel, CA

Hello Ron,

Just a few lines to say "Hello" and send you some stamps. I’ve been reflecting on my growth over the past 2 years and man, have I come a long way. I have a pretty good concept of what God expects of me and what "having a relationship with God" is all about. After reading your book a few times I now have a good understanding about the difference between the different doctrines and now I can read other books and not be confused. Even if I don’t agree with all their views I can still get some good out of their books. It’s not often, but when I get the opportunity to have an intelligent conversation about God with someone, I feel good about what I’ve learned and where I am at with my walk. I mainly have you to thank for it. Definitely it was God who answered my prayer to guide me to the truth. Your book and letters were a big help.

Danny, CA

Brother Ron,

Thank you for your letter and newsletter. I really appreciate it. I read some of the letters in the newsletters and found it to be inspiring. I can’t wait to get the workbook so I can see what everyone is saying about it. I recently sent the stamps to get it so I’m anxious to get it. I read also that you are financially in need and also need more help in your ministry. What I can do is offer a helping hand when I’m out next year. If there is any way I can help while I’m in prison please don’t hesitate to ask.

Vuong, CA

Bro. Ron,

I have received my copy of "The Cat Book". That’s the name we give it, :-) "Change Your Life Biblically". I had no trouble getting it. You should have a few requests from this prison seeing that it is condensed into a book all of what we follow doctrinally. As you well know, we are the minority on this yard and we have our share of mild persecution. But we are to rejoice when those things happen. I hope these stamps will go to sending a book to someone who will use it/them to assist in spreading the true gospel and 3 Angel’s Message for our time.

Anthony, CA

Fellow Saint in Christ,

I desire sincerely to link up with your ministry to grow up into the Lord in all things through your labors as well as the guidences of the Holy Spirit. I first heard of your studies through some fellow inmates in Utah and greatly respect what you are doing in Christ to His glory. I would like to receive a blessing in order to bless others. I’m speaking of the book, "Change Your Life Biblically" my brothers shared with me that you had sent them. A big thank you from myself and all those whom you help to live a free and abundant life in Christ Jesus.

Raymond, TX

Dear Brother Ronald,

I want to thank you for sending me your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I received it Friday. I go to the library quite often and it was there where I found your book and checked it out. I really did not have the time I wanted with it because it belonged to the institution library for a specific period of time. So I read it maybe twice. I am so blessed to have my very own. Now I can take my time with it and learn all I can learn from it. It is certainly a gift from God and I will take my time and study it.

Walter, FL

Dear Brother Ron,

Thank you so much for your love and support towards us. Yes, you are correct, sin is very painful and hurtful. I’m only 24 years old and I feel so depressed. My husband’s situation is really hard for me. If he goes back to Mexico his life will be in danger. I don’t know what to do brother Ron. It is only in God’s hands. God will help us.

Elizabeth, CA (wife of one in extradition hold)

Dear Brother Ronald,

I want to thank you for the "Change Your Life Biblically" book that you sent me. Especially since change is exactly what I’m in need of. I can see that a lot of time and heard work went into putting it all together. I plan to spend a lot of time and hard work along with some prayer in order to get all that I can out of your book. I pray that it will be of help in my changing my life biblically. That is one of my great goals in this life.

Anthony, CA

Dear Brother Ron,

Before I write anything else, I want to thank you from my heart for the two books that you sent me. I know that it is hard for the ministry to send people books. That is why I am very thankful for what you are doing for me. I will read them both and I will pass them on to somebody that appreciates them as I do. I am glad to know that my stamps are going through. It is important for me that you use them to help indigent inmates with books. The word of our Lord Jesus Christ has to be known by the whole world. By you sending out your book, CYLB, I know that people will get interested in reading the Bible. And you know why I know this? Because it happened to me. Your book, CYLB, helped me to understand the Bible a lot better. Here I send you two books of stamps for the ministry. Thank you for your help and overall, thank you for your friendship.

Hector, TX

Dear Brother Ron,

Well, I’ve started reading and studying the book a second time now. First let me say it is to me so powerfully given that my walk is perfect at this time now. The book on its second reading seems to me like I’ve not read it before. Parts of it I don’t remember at all from the first time I read it. Which is a good thing. I will find even more the next time. Things are changing for me. When I start to sin now, I catch myself, like in use of foul language and lies. I’m separating myself from a lot of sinners. The few I do speak to I’m trying to guide them.

Gary, CA

Dear Brother Ron,

I received your letter and newsletter. I must say, your letter gave me much happiness. It gives me a sense of belonging somewhere. It’s a wonderful day. I repent of my sins and rejoice in the hope Jesus will hold me dear to His heart and forgives me. I feel like the lost sheep. I’m just now feeling joy & peace. See. I have demons from my childhood that I never faced. That is why I used drugs to run and hide my true feelings. Now is the time to cast them out and let it all go. This is my new birth. I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want Jesus Christ in my soul, my heart. I really love your book. There is so much biblical history. You are changing my life. God works through us. I believe He turned me on to your ministry. I am so grateful.

Dennis, RI

Brother Ron,

Allow me to say with a heavy heart, "Thank you for the book, ‘Change Your Life Biblically’". My cellie and I have been reading and studying the book and if I may add, it’s a wonderful book with in depth structure of important stuff. I will take heed to this book and study it chapter after chapter. I want to grasp every little detail and anything else forthcoming. Once again, I sincerely appreciate this fruitful book. I have received my first monthly newsletter today and it’s amazing to read some of the stories people are going through and how their finding the strength to keep pushing. It’s a big motivation for me. Without a doubt. Also, thank you for the year 2009 calendar. It’s going up on the wall tonight. Thank you for the support and for helping people like myself have a better understanding about the Bible and Jesus. Thank you for the book and monthly newsletter.

Jesse, CA

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing you this letter to ask you if you could please enroll me in "Change Your Life Biblically". I recently was blessed with a pen-pal through someone cares prison ministry. They blessed me with your address for I could get to know our Heavenly Father better. I am grateful to you for offering us inmates free Bible courses.

Edwin, CA

Ron:

Wow, where do I start? Well, I guess I should start by sending you my "thank yous". I’ve been reading my "Change Your Life Biblically" for a month already. Ron, the reason why I am reading it slow is, I need to fully take in every word and feel it to my spirit. I enjoy my book. I’ve gotten a few revelations from it. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from a book. God bless your soul Ron. I’m writing to let you know that it’s taking me a while to read it, but I’m enjoying and learning from it. I’m even keeping with the Sabbath when I read it and had a full understanding. It all came to me. I’ve been praying for something like this. God is good. I don’t want to miss out on nothing of what God has for me. I just wanted to touch bases with you.

Christina, CA

Dear Jesus Christ Prison Ministry,

Your address was passed on from a friend I was sharing a cell with. I would like a copy of your workbook. I’ve tried reading the Bible once and found it hard to understand. I believe in God and want a relationship with Him. Your workbook sounds like it will help.

Scott, CA

Hi My Dear Brother Ron,

I am really happy that everything is going great with you and the ministry. Please let me know if there’s anything else that you need help with. I will gladly help you. I can’t believe this weather. It get’s really cold. I will surely visit you in summer. I bet the kids would have a blast. We are really happy that your son will be coming home. We are praying for him so that he gives his life to serve God. What can I tell you brother Ron. God has given us a lot of blessings. Hector is doing good. I am also doing more than good. God is looking over us. Thank you for everything brother Ron. God bless you.

Elizabeth, CA (Non-inmate, husband in extradition limbo. Let us pray for her husbands safe return.)

Dear Brother in Christ,

I was given a chance to read a portion of your book, "Change Your Life Biblically". I was very impressed with the information it contained. I am at this time requesting that you would please send me a copy of this informative book.

Michael, CA

Dear Ronald John,

Just wanted to drop you a note to say "hello" and to really thank you for taking the time to show me the truth. I know it took me 40 years to learn the true Sabbath day Saturday. But I now follow God’s law. Yes, I struggle but I’m really learning a lot from you I now take everything a day at a time and I try to not allow this pit stop to get me down. It’s in God’s plan even though I struggle with it at times. But when I start to stress on things, I re-pick up your last letter and read it again because your so right. Again, thank you for taking the time to help guide me onto the right path. I’m looking forward to getting moved to a yard so that I can continue to share the truth and lead people who want to learn the truth to your great book. I ran into a spot to where I just wasn’t getting it. So I stepped back and re-read your book. When I finish and truly understand it, I’ll finish the test. I just don’t want to just do the test, I want to understand it to the fullest. Again, thank you. I just wanted you to know that I thank you for being such a good friend.

Chris, CA

Hello Ron,

I gave your address and talked about your book at length with my neighbor up in ad-seg and he was going to write you. I’ve already got a good thing going with my celly and both neighbors I talk to through the vent. They are educated and receptive to what I’ve been sharing with them about your book and what I’ve learned. I have a good testimony and your book has been a major reason for my new attitude and walk with Jesus. I have so many good verses in my head to share with them and many more but I’m able to clearly show the necessity of stop sinning, be obedient and be perfect. It’s simple. Those who live in Christ should live their lives as Jesus did. Once I become a tier tender I’ll be able to move around and talk and find others who are serious about a relationship with God. My celly and neighbor are going to buy 10 stamps at store in 3 weeks. Can you please send each of them a book? I will be able to get a head start on our Bible study. I promise the stamps will come in three weeks. Here are their names.

Danny, CA
