Prison Ministry Testimonies

Thanks so much for this course, I have had seen a lot of things that I got clarification on as I went through this course. I now feel a lot more fulfilled in my faith and have actually got rid of any doubts that existed in me as to whether it was possible for all my sins to be forgiven.

Mamisoko Joseph Maleka - Student no 2009

First of all I would like to say thanks for the courses, you have been sending me, Pastor, because without I should not even know about the Word of God, but now I know many things about God. And I even live by the Word even when I am doing or talking to someone I make sure that I am guided by Him because I show respect, love and commitment.
And this course tells me about how to live in this cruel life – I must be guarded by the rules of the Lord because this human nature that we are living in now has changed The power of satan is destroying many human lives. So pastor, I am under the shadow of my God. I want to be strong about the truth of God.

Themba Mdongeni - Student No. 1900

I am getting stronger with each course that come by. God bless.

Thank you for the prompt return of answer sheets and making fresh courses available in good time. I am requesting that you send me the Christian Marriage and Family Life. I am so much interested in doing this course for my next course or in additions with any other course. Thank you for your understanding.

Firstly I would like to thank God so much for giving you guys all spiritual ability to help us in this course.
This course means a lot to me I really enjoy it very much and also it gives me much understanding concerning God’s Word.

Laly Ngambimi - Student No. 1832

The Peace Love Mercy and Blessings of God be with you. This course has opened my eyes more on Family Matters and I really find the verses I am looking for. It will also help me to teach other people which is my main reason for doing these courses. Thank you for this wisdom God gave you on how to explain the Bible and the Word of God.

In spite of all the lessons I had done this is the most influential one, as it contains most of the things which was against. I am serving a 22 year sentence for shooting my wife and assaulting my three children. It was written as if it was directed to me. I had seen that in marriage all the parties must share ideas unlike what I have done – dictating all the proceedings. So I am looking forward to a happy marriage which is a witness to the love of the Lord Jesus Christ which will last a life time.

No Name - He wrote this after doing the course of Christian Marriage and Family Life.

It is good for me to write about the course as it has made me have peace with God. I would like to say it is good to encourage us to do these courses so we can be born again as the Bible says in John 3 V 3. It says a man cannot be born again without the spirit.
Thanks a lot God. Bless you.

M Ncube

Wow!!! Guys it is good to read the Bible especially when doing this course. It is kind of tricky but it touches me. I feel like that I would be like Jesus Christ. My mind just cannot comprehend how a Father can make such a sacrifice. Het let His Son die for our sins. I like the part that says: “We all have sinned” - God loves me while I am forbidden by the world. He wants me to be born again. I am empty because I have known Jesus little but through the course. - I say now is my time. Thanks You

I should accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour and leave all the earthly things that are sins in God’s sight. I must repent and be saved and do God’s will. I must always be prepared for the judgment day. I must truly believe in Jesus Christ. The Bible said no one comes to the Father except through Jesus..

Thulant Mbongeni Mnisi

I would like to thank the Word of God through the Bible Way course by showing me the correct way to follow if I want to be saved. Because I was lost by following other religions which are not preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as He is the only Saviour. John 14 : 6

Dan Ngwneya - Student No. 1986

This course has taught me that even when Paul was experiencing difficult times he never gave up on the Love of God. He glorified Him in every situation. This shows that when you have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour you must not worry about what happens in this world but give the glory to God always even if you are facing difficult times.

First of all I like to greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I like to thank Him for giving me the opportunity of living today and I would like to thank Him for choosing me to be a part of His children.

Patrick Kunene - Student No. 2000

Greetings in Jesus name. This lesson if very special to me – it is actually the best thing a man can know. The Wonderful Plan of God has helped me realize my hopelessness without Christ. Thank you for caring.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
This course “The Life of Paul” has opened my knowledge of His life and His courage and faith. I pray that God will help me become more of what He wants for my life. May God bless you and all who work with you who make this course possible.

Many thanks – Quentin Deeves

This course has taught me many important thing in life in which I must practice.
It taught how to live an eternal life and how to overcome my problems in life. It also taught me the most important command I must follow the rest of my life – to love each other. There are many things which this course taught me and as from now on I believe that if you need Christ to rule your life without doubting you can get Him and He can make many changes in your life. We need to be stress free - we know that we follow Christ and in everything we do we have put God first, because He makes a way where it seems to be no way. This course has taught me many thing and I pray to God that in every course I do here in prison He must lead me, guide me and encourage me. That is all that I have learned from this course.

Student No. 1938

The first thing I want to thank the people of Bible Way to give me a chance to participate in this course, Thanks for that!

Yes, I learn more about the name of Jesus Christ and God. In other words I like to say every time and every where the word of God is needed, so for me is a revival and I started to attend the Church because I feel blessed after reading the Bible.

Your loving inmate Oupa Mabuleke

My name is Njabulo Prince Ngwenya. I was arrested in 2002 for Hijacking which took place in Northmead, Benoni. I was sentenced on 4 December 2003 and am serving a 15 year imprisonment. I was involved in Satanism at waiting trial, I was also involved in occultism, gangsterism, homosexuality, drugs and lots of evil behavior.

2004 at Johannesburg Prison on the 25 August “Ebbie Ramapulane”: preached salvation to me and I went to Church, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Things never went
easy or automatically. I was born again but not liberated yet. I was struggling with lust, porn and masturbation. That was a coveted sin. At that time I was preaching the gospel with my weaknesses. People became saved in prison. I then disciplined myself not to watch programes that planted lust. I prayed months until I was free.

I also continued with my studies, I did Human Resources N4, Entrepreneurship N4, Economics N4 and Communication Management N4, I facilitated Bible Courses and I am also a musician, singing “R & B” Gospel, local gospel and American gospel. My ambition is to continue teaching outside against crime and motivating the youth about the life skills at schools and drug awareness programes. I want to be a catalyst in making the change in the community at large. I also have a passion to reconcile with my victim and the child which was in the car. My family are in Ladysmith, KZN and I am in Gauteng. Any means of support – He’s Welcome. The visit days are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Anyone who wants to visit please don’t forget your ID Book.

NJABULO PRINCE NGWENYA

Firstly I would like to thank you brothers and sisters in Christ for giving us this opportunity to know more about Christian life and the life we are supposed to follow.

As an inmate in Modderbee I don’t feel like I am a prisoner anymore, because your course gave me strength, new life and made me a new creation. I thank God for sending His disciples to me.

In Christian Marriage and Family Life I learnt that a woman is a helper from God. We have to respect whether she give you children or not. And marriage according to God must last a life time, and must be good , happy and supported family times in happiness and sorrow.

I really, really, really like to carry on studying the Bible Courses.

LAWRENCE BEMBE

I like to thank you all Bible Way members who show me the way that I can follow Jesus and also during the time when I am going to Venda under Limpopo I would think about you.

And also think about Paul’s life since he was criticized the Christians until know when he is a serious follower.

I like to be like him because he also went in prison like me because I was in prison but know God corrected me. Thank you Bible Way, God be with you and give you days of your life in rehab.

Don’s forget that I have been released on 14 August 2008. My new address is Mangaya Primary School, Private Bag X1194, Mutake/Venda. 0956

MATHOMA THINHADINI WILBERT

Thank you once again for this wonderful course. To start with I am not doing this course for the sake of certificate. I am doing it because I want to know more and have more understanding about the Word of God.

At least I have learnt a lot from the course and as I said in my first letter to you that the you explain the Word of God is what I love most.

Thanks for the good work because I know that a lot of people will of have been transformed through these courses.

God bless you.

JABBI

I greet you in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I thank you very much for the wonderful teachings. God’s Word has helped me to see the bright side of life. I respect and love His commandments. I will meditate on His instructions. God gives me strength by telling me that I am loved and that if I stay with Him, He will see me through.
When I fail God reminds me of my value in His sight. - “Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait”.

I would like to confirm that I will be our on parole in September and I would like to proceed with my studies. Thanks for your concern about our understanding and experiencing. May God who gives peace bless you with peace.

NATHANIEL

This course has deepened my faith spiritually and it has taken my hope back that no matter how many times I have sinned I can still change my old ways and be accepted as a child of God.

TSHEPO LEKONE GUMEDE

The course has opened my mind that every Christian has the indwelling power of Jesus. It has also taught me that my body is a temple of Jesus , so I must be very, very careful not to commit adultery.

NHLANHA MLANGENI

First of all I greet you people in the powerful name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My main purpose of writing this to you people is to let you people know the experience that I got in these courses.

1. It makes me grow in the word of God
2. It also makes me understand the purpose of our lives
3. It builds up my faith.

NO NAME

This course for me meant a lot, I am learning and building my spiritual life in God’s sight.

It moved me to go step by step in the Bible and with full understanding and the help of the Holy Spirit.

My last concern is to thank you all who make this possible for us to have this course. I pray always for her so that God gives you all the support and the spirit of continuity in this course.

May God bless you

WALLY NGAMNIMI

God to the glory of Bible Way and His messengers (Bible Way Staff). I am grateful to be one of those thousands of learners. I can be comfortable in saying this is an eye opener. I know things which I did not know before and now I can say I can differentiate Barnabas and Barrabas, and I know that Barrabas was a traitor. Above this I know about the judge Pilate and why he persecuted Jesus. And I asked myself some theological questions about him and why did he ask the mob what he must do about Him? I think in the end as a judge he knows Jesus was innocent, but because he was scared of the people.

NICHOLAS JOKAZI

First of all I would like to greet all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus.

This course has meant a lot to me and it has changed my life. It has taught me who Jesus is - the Son of God.

It has also taught me that Jesus is God Himself.

Jesus died for all people in the world.

DOUGLAS MNISI

I read this course and heard the good news about the word of God and it also taught me about Jesus Christ, whom I did not know but now I truly do know and understand the word of God. I ask and pray that God will change mens heart and listen to good news He is telling me about Him. And I would like to repent and change my life of living because I don’ know the of judgement. What I can say is that I will pray to God to change my life and stop doing bad things. In the name of Christ. Amen

God bless me. See you again.
