	We work weekly with inmates at our local county jail. Bible Studies, counseling and Sunday church services. Praise be to God for those who have come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Even those who have been released have come back to the area to help and be a witness. Any way, recently we've had a guard who has been feeding those young converts with info about predestination and once saved always saved. The once saved stuff I'm comfortable dealing and explaining it. But the predestination stuff I'm not so confident. I've been searching the Word and reading various writings about it yet I'm not as knowledgeable about the scriptures that explained such deception. Any suggestions? Thank You. Skip   10/13/08

	This is a joyful update to let you know that Martha is now free from jail and back home in Gurdaspur, Punjab.

	Please add the family of Wayne Black on your prayer list. He passed away on Saturday. He was early 20's when he was 7years old he was hit by a bus, and ended up severely disabled including serious seizure disorder.

	Greetings in Christ Love! Dearest Pastor Ron, It is really good and a blessing to be taught by you. I have realized a great move and improvement spiritually. I have always been printing your teachings and forwarded them to my church committee, of which God's hand has been seen working amongst us. Thus I took all that you wrote to me before the church board and they approved that the Lord has sent you to work with them. They have so far even organised for a pastors conference early next year whereby you will be the Guest Speaker. May be you can let us know form you if that will be appropriate for you. God bless you in Christ Love, Please greet all there. Hope to hear from you real soon so that we can adjust on the arrangement of the conference. Yours in Christ, Sister Schola   9/27/08

	Hi Ron: How are you feeling? In reading this week's sermon, it took me back to my precious little Bryan and his short time here on earth. The last month before his death, he learned the Lord's Prayer. He loved the part of walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Although he was only 4 years old, he memorized the entire prayer. I was so proud of him. It was 20 years ago this month that I lost him. It was 22 years ago this month that I lost my other son. It seems as though it was just a short time ago. There are still days that the grief comes up and hits me square on and the tears flow. I guess that's always going to be. I miss them every single day of my life. Have a blessed week. Diana   9/24/08
	Dear Pastor Ron: I am going to be starting a Discipleship class in October, and we will be going through Genesis to Revelation in a Discipleship Journal in a year.

	Ron Beckham, I'll continue to pray for your test. I'm asking the Lord to give wisdom and accuracy to the technicians, the nurses, and the physicians involved in giving you the test and analyzing the results. I pray that, if this is a test where you swallow and/or are injected with nuclear particles, that those elements are quickly flushed out of your body with no ill effects. I'm asking for there to be peace all about you and that this stress test gives you no stress. I'm asking our Father to regulate your heart and bring all your systems into perfect working order. I'm asking all this in the name of Jesus, who took up our infirmities and carried our diseases. God bless you and give you sweet sleep. Melissa   9/17/08

	Rob's mother called me and has asked for someone to make a call on her son. He has terminal lung cancer and is near death. He is at the VA in Long Beach under hospice care. I have never met his mom but he visited our church on several occasions for prayer. I will not be able to get out to Long Beach and his time is near. Would you visit Rob? ... He has accepted Christ recently. Pastor Dan   9/11/08
	Hi Ron, I look forward to a visit from you and I always enjoy the bible studies you send me.  I will talk to you later.  Tom  9/10/08
	Here are two new requests for women with breast cancer: 1. Roseann was notified this week that her biopsy came back positive for breast cancer. She is going to meet with the doctors to determine the course of treatment. She lives in Nevada and does not have a strong family support system. So let's pray for her to stay strong in this scary time and that she is not too fearful of her treatment and that her family can come together in support and love to help her in this time of need. 2. Sally is battling breast cancer. She is undergoing chemo now and the treatments are taking a toll on her body. Please pray for complete healing. Thanks and blessings! Jan  9/9/08
	Genevieve, You give me hope.  Thank you for opening your heart and helping me.  I praise God for leading me to you... Kelli  9/8/08
	Just wanted to ask how you are doing. You have given so much, I just thought I'd tell you I got to tell some people about Friday study Ministries. Could you please send your most recent message again, as it meant so much to us. Thanks, Timothy and Susan  9/7/08
	I was just browsing the internet and happened upon your site. Maybe not by coincidence. I am from Massachusetts and I am requesting a prayer not for myself but for a close friend of mine. Her name is Diane and she lost her husband this past Sunday. She has a 16 year old daughter who is special needs and will now have to care for her without him. He was a good and loving man who took great care of his family and loved everyone. My heart goes out to her and I would love as many prayers as possible for her to help her through this. Thank you for all that you do. Jaine  9/6/08

	Ron, you did a brilliant job summarizing "my last sermon" and I am flattered that you would and could use it in your ministry. I am open to talking with you about my sermons and having some of them shortened and shared through Friday Study Ministries. Perhaps we should talk about it. My initial thought is that I could send some your way and you could condense them to your liking. God bless you in your work. Pastor Gary   9/4/08
	Thanks Ron. I think your program will work fine for federal prisoners at our institution. I believe Rich told you that the inmates cannot receive attachments with their email. They must apply to have your email address added to their approved list of addresses. That's all there is to it.  Chaplain Jon  9/3/08

	My son, Jeremiah's girlfriend, Kelly, found out her mother (Patty) has breast cancer again and it appears to be growing quickly. Please pray for healing for Patty, and peace and comfort for the entire family. Thank you, and may God bless you! Love, Rick  8/29/08
	My new tenant is a Mormon lady who has to have a biopsy of her breast. I told her I would pray for her and she said "thank you." She commented that "it was in the temple already." Since I'm not very familiar with the Mormon religion and she was quite upset with her condition, I did not go into asking questions or having a conversation about her religion. I know when we were in Salt Lake city we tried to go into the temple but were told we could only go at tour times. So we never got back to go. I have heard that the Mormons are part of a "cult". She is a very sweet lady and I want to know what to say to her, without offending her religion. I would like to put her on my prayer chain for her biopsy... thanks, Diana   8/28/08
	Hi Ron, Thanks for the new lists of prayer requests. I was sorry to read that you were on it as well. I pray that the medication will assist your heart working normally. A friend of mine has the same challenge; if you would like to communicate with him, I could provide you with his phone number and e-mail address. Please add yet another woman to the long list having breast cancer. Her name is Robin; she will have surgery Wednesday 8/27. Please pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery, comfort and peace of mind, and that her husband will give loving support that she needs from him. (Robin is the sister of a Cursillista from Christ Lutheran Church, Costa Mesa.) Blessings, Jan  8/26/08
	Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your absolutely awesome website. My daughters, my mother and myself have started a bible study at our home and during our first session, my youngest daughter, who is 9 and much younger than her older sister who is 23 was lost and very upset afterwards because she just didn't understand. She had looked forward to our bible study sessions and to see her crying because it was just so over her head hurt me. I immediately got online and searched for a site to use that would help her to follow along with us and I came across your website on the Book of John, which is where we decided to start. I sat down with my youngest and went back over what we had read but this time with your explanations and she was much happier as was I. I continued to read thru it myself and loved it. As a "new" bible reader, (I was raised Catholic, and we never picked up a bible) it so helped me understand things too. We will be using this website during our bible studies now also. I just thank God that he directed me to this site. Thank you so much. Theresa   8/25/08
	Dear Pastor Ron Beckham, Greetings to you in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, Thank you for your precious prayer for us.

	Dear Pastor Ron, Genevieve and beloved Prayer Warriors, Please pray for my Sister-in-law, Martha, (Mary's sister.) Martha was admitted to ICU today, in North Carolina. She has severe arthritic pain and treats herself by dieting. Martha limits foods she believes cause her pain. She is down to under 80 lbs. Her daughter, Faith, called this morning to tell us that she had called the Paramedics. Most of us believe that Martha has an eating disorder that is out of control. Mary fears that her sister is dying. Mary is flying back to North Carolina this morning to be with her sister and help her niece cope with all of this. Please pray for safety for Mary as she travels, and wisdom as she ministers to her family. Please pray for Martha (a believer) that she be healed physically and emotionally. Prayers and blessings, Don   8/18/08
	Thank you so much -- your continuing prayer for pioneer evangelism in Punjab, and for Martha's encouragement, is being answered by our Almighty God.  We are receiving reports of hundreds of people per week accepting salvation in Jesus Christ these past few weeks, in villages that previously had no churches!  Bryan   8/17/08
	I must certainly obey the Spirit of God to inform you that the set time for the Lord to favor you has surely come (Psalm 102:13)!!! He assures, “Remember that you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant; you will not be forgotten by Me! I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you, and you will be Restored (ISAIAH 44:21-24)." Arise and experience the glory of God! Love, Prayers and Blessings to you. Your Brother & Friend, Robert   8/16/08
	Dear Ron: I was reading about Pastor Timothy Burdick last night, and the fact that he is the "Minister of Abilities" because he is blind, but still uses the computer on a program called "Jaws." Well interestingly enough, I now have lost most of my eyesight due to stage II glaucoma, and chronic Uviatis. I am prsently taking a course in "Jaws" at the ROP... You are free to give him my E-mail address and my street address.  Marilyn  8/15/08
	God may have given you some physical limitations, but He created the most beautiful soul in Ron Beckham. Indeed, you are fearfully and wonderfully made (and don't we all feel we fall short as Christians...... I think that's a good thing.... makes us try harder!!)  Diana  8/14/08
	Dear Pastor Ron, we are so excited that you will be dedicating our newest arrival to the Lord this next Sunday.  Also, yes, my sister, Nicole, does want to be baptized by you...  Amber  8/13/08

	I want to thank you for your prayers. My surgery went well however I had some complications that kept me in the hospital for 3 weeks. I had to have a second surgery to drain fluid from around my heart, developed a blood clot that I am on medication to try to dissolve and had a problem with my heart rate, which I am now on two medications to try to regulate. There is a chance it might correct itself upon total healing in 5 months or so. Right now I am extremely tired and trying to maintain a good attitude. I would appreciate your continued prayer for a total healing. Thank you so much! Patty  7/23/08
	Please pray for me I have to be in the City of Buffalo in AM for Jury Duty. I am real nervous about drive in City and back. I want to be a blessing to others but just very nervous and even a bit afraid. Hope all is well, and know your all in my prayers.  Cheryl  7/21/08
	I thank God for my children, our health, our home our jobs, and the life we have in a place that's free. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and what's important and gifted to us gets overshadowed... Should you be free to Baptize Jacob on August 15th,16th, or 17th we were hoping to get together then. If not we can wait. HE'S GETTING SO BIG I'll have to buy a new outfit soon though :). He's now 9 months, old 24 pounds, and wearing size 18-24 months. I think my younger sister, Nicole, wants to discuss getting baptized with him. This is extra special to me since she's the boys Godmother.  Please get back to us when you get a chance. Take care and God Bless. Amber  7/19/08

	Dear Ron, I enjoy your Friday sermons in the email, keep up the good work. One of my neighbor's is having some health issues, and his wife told me that the doctors at the VA thought it might be related to Agent Orange exposure. I recalled that Genevieve had been active with an Agent Orange support group. It's possible that the VA already put them in touch, but I thought I'd check to see if Genevieve had any suggestions.  Brian   6/24/08
	I am reading your study in Genesis.  You present the Scripture like it is, but why don't you present other theories about what it means?  M.  6/23/08
	Beloved, you are special to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure to Him. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you on merit; but because He loves you, and because He keeps the oath which He swore to your fathers. He has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of the enemy. Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and do His will (Deuteronomy 6:7-9).  God Bless you. We Love you... Robert   6/22/08

	Although i could not make the interview, i have heard from Shirlena that she really appreciated your interesting insights on religion and the Internet...

I would be happy to receive your feedback and any further suggestions for our research. we really appreciate your interesting insights and certainly look forward to hearing about more innovations from the Friday Study Ministries. Blessings and warm regards, Pauline  6/18/08

	I live in East Texas in an area that has a lot of farmland and woodland. Believe it or not we have a panther problem, yes, black panthers. There have been no attacks on humans as of yet but recently a panther cub showed up in a neighbors garage. Farmers have had calves killed which they think were by these "cats". Another neighbor was fishing in his pond with a friend when they saw a panther come out of a tree and take down a deer. The "powers that be" don't believe they exist in this area therefore nothing is being done. The thing we know is if their is a cub there is a mating pair. I don't know how to ask you to pray but please lift this situation up for us. I don't have a fear of this but the people who found the cub in their garage have a small child. There have been more sightings of the "cats" crossing roads etc. Thanks!  Linda  6/16/08
	I would appreciate your prayers for our situation here with the administrator, who is apparently quitting as of the 27th of this month. The place us apparently the worst shape as it ever has been in, and staff is quitting right and left.  Marilyn  6/15/08
	Please pray for my family. My husband, Dax, was arrested a little over a month ago...taken away from me and our 7 year old son, Luke...  We are devastated. Our hearts are broken...we love and miss him deeply... We can no longer afford to live in our apartment... Praise God, though, Dax was on his way back to the Lord before all this and has been renewed in Him...and knows he has always had a calling from God to be a Pastor and leader, but, never heeded that until now.

	Please pray for my daughter Tiffany. She quit a job where she had a very abusive supervisor. Nine other people quit as well. She found another job and now the former boss has called and told lies on her and got her fired. This woman called my daughter-in-law, my husband, and told my daughter had bad checks all over town and she was on drugs. All of this is lies. We live in a small town and this has created a lot of problems. My daughter is a single parent with two children she has to work. We need a miracle. How can anyone be so cruel? Please keep us in your prayers.  Jones   6/1/08
