Dear Dr. Mike . . . I want you to know how much this degree program has changed my life, and I am only 15 hours into it. If you are not serious and 100% sure you want to be in ministry, you will not be able to complete this course. So far this ministry course has been above my expectations. Thank you for the chance. John Thebeau (Marion, IL). I'm very impressed with the literature and information you mailed me. I have not found anybody else that stands up for Biblical truths and is willing to oppose heresy correctly in years- and NOW by the grace of God I find out that you do such. I love the literature you sent. Harold Hempstead (Florida City, FL). I was fascinated by my 1st year of Biblical studies. My whole life has changed. What impresses me is that my communication with God is stronger. Thank you for that. Matthew Nichols (Buckeye, AZ). After the first two course studies in Ministry Ordination, I find myself more enlightened about God's ways and the ministry of Jesus Christ. Every day I divide the Word of God and meditate on it. I'm not only growing stronger as a soldier for Jesus but becoming like Him. I give thanks to God for your ministry that is training, teaching, and transforming my spiritual life in Christ! Fuet Hang (Asheville, NC). Thank you for these studies and your dedication to truth. It's refreshing and inspiring to know that there are still some leaders out there who aren't afraid to tell it like it is and shake some Christians out of their tolerant and complacent stupors. (Also) I would like to thank you for such a wonderful opportunity. For a long time I have known the call of God on my life, but I never thought I'd ever get a college education, especially one such as this. God has blessed me greatly with your program and I am so grateful. John Arange (Cushing, OK). UPDATE FROM BROTHER ARANGE (above): I am preparing my first sermon to be delivered Tuesday November 15th . . . a10 minute sermon for that night. It is by God's blessing me with this coursework through that I am able to prepare it. It is based on an assignment from "Sharing Jesus" that was entitled "The Worth of One Soul." Thank you for this education and your obedience to God in providing it. I'm enjoying the challenge and drawing closer to God with every assignment. John Arange (Helena, OK) [From one of our 2 Year, Old Scofield Study Bible in Theology students]: Thank you for sending me these lessons! I thank God for you and the others like you who minister to inmates in jails and prisons across the US. You have not forgotten about us. You truly fulfill the Word in Matthew 25:35: I was in prison and ye came unto me. The study course is tough! And I like it! The symmetry and design of the assignments is amazing. I appreciate the writing that is required to complete each assignment. Jameson Wood (Waverly, VA) Every time I read through the Bible it opens my eyes more to God; but going over it like this . . . WOW! Phillip Swain (Century, FL) I thank God daily for you and the truths that you teach. I will take them into the ministry with me and teach them to the church of God without apology and without compromise. I cannot express how grateful I am for this opportunity that God has given me to learn and grow in my faith and in God's Word through PMI under your leadership. May God bless you always. Curtis Fairchild (South Bay, FL). I would like to take a moment to thank you Dr. Mike. I was at a place of contentment and I was satisfied with what I had accomplished as far as studying God's Word. But through PMI I was able to begin to go deeper. Most of the courses I had done in the past gave you a text to read and then asked questions to be answered- pretty easy. But PMI challenged me and gave me opportunity to go into the Bible and look for the deeper truths of God's Word. (God) is using you in a mighty way. William Moody (Fort Dix, NJ). ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR PRISONERS AND NON-PRISONERS Thank you for entering me into this awesome program. The course work I have done so far has caused me to look deeper into the Scriptures than ever. I feel blessed to even be a part of this program. Just the work in Ephesians has opened my heart to truths that are like precious gems to my soul. Clifford Robertson (Bonham, TX). The Bible study from PMI has had a . . . tremendous impact on the lives of the people that I've been blessed to share Jesus, preach, and teach all this God brought forth through the PMI (Center for) Biblical Studies. Kirby Spriggs (Port Allen, LA). I learned how to bring souls to Christ more easily and effectively. I do thank you as well as my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I feel like I am about to turn my world upside down and this prison system until I go home. Thank you Dr. Mike, I can use this always. Brian McMaster (Clinton, NC). I probably have never done such an intense study of God's Word, or have taken part in a concentrated program of study courses such as this one (PMI; but I'm loving the challenge and am deeply satisfied over the accomplishments of my writing ability (thanks to the Mind of Christ) . . . though reading and knowing the Word of God as I have in the last four decades of my life, the material that your courses have marched me through up to now has become alive and intimate in their scope of personal instruction and Holy revelation. God bless you Dr. Mike and your staff of tireless workers in the Lord! Marvin Hatcher (Las Animas, CO). I thank God for you and PMI. You saved my life. And then after you saved my life you came back again and rekindled the fire in my soul. Dr. Freddie Abney, Jr. (Bonne Terre, MO).
I want to sincerely thank you for pouring into my life and allowing God to use you all there at PMI to establish your hearts to not forget about those who are bound. I received the info filled packets and I'm overjoyed with anticipation into what the spirit will counsel me within the word. Thank for being diligent towards us here and all over, that share in this experience of being discipled in Gods word. Truly, Dr. Mike, you all have been a pivotal blessing in my life (incarcerated) and I praise God for the elect as you all are. Thank you for being demonstrations of God's grace to us. God bless in abundance . . . DuJuan Williamson (Loretto PA). PMI IS JUST THE PLACE: A TESTIMONY REGARDING GOD'S PROVIDENCE It is my personal conviction that God has an appointed person, place, or thing at an appointed time, for an appointed purpose. While incarcerated for over 18 months, I have been studying God's Word in depth. I have completed over 14 Bible study courses. During these months I was given the name of Dr. Mike Johnston, President of the PMI Center. It was then that I realized that there was divine work at hand here, for I had prayed for God's guidance to show me somewhere that I could continue my Biblical studies but on a higher educational level suitable for the work in God's ministry. PMI is just such a place from medium level to advanced studies they offer a variety of degree courses. Within PMI's curriculum I have found exactly what I was looking for. Studies that I can do towards my degree while incarcerated at a very cost effective enrollment; but, I am able to continue to study with PMI upon my release which is vitally important to my type of ministry. Once released, I will be involved in work, plus time spent with a ministry to the sick, shut-in, nursing home, jail and prisons. Not to mention three very precious grand children, who I hope will go with me on some nursing home visits. Dr. Mike has proven to be extremely perceptive and knowledgeable as to the written and spoken Word. I find that his beliefs are what God's inspired Word has ordained for believers, TRUTH, nothing added, nothing removed; TRUTH, the Good News, the Great Commission, the Rapture, and the New Jerusalem. Brothers and sisters, PMI teaches God's Word verbatim, the studies have enlightened me, uplifted me, encouraged me, edified me, qualified me, and called me to a higher calling in Christ Jesus. Waiting for the trumpet blast. Steven Collins, 2 Tim 1:7-8 (Springfield, TN). Jesus is returning soon! Are you saved? Click this I believe I was sent to you by God because He knew I would learn a lot from your insight into a life with Him. I have learned so much from your studies . . . I never (knew) that a study could make me so happy, but I can't wait for the next one. I know I need your program because God pushed me towards you. Thank you and God bless you. Jason Gideon (Kincheloe, MI) On behalf of the men currently at our institution we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generous books you've donated. The men here are in awe of the various spiritual selections you saw fit to send us and are humbled by your generosity. Chaplain Albert Kolff (Racine Cor. Inst.) I feel like your studies are finally going to show me a lot of the Scripture that I've needed to make me a stronger Christian so I definitely thank you for that. Johnnie Swinehart (Freeland, MI) As I studied these two books (Ephesians and Colossians) I learned more than I thought I (ever) could. This was everything I was looking for on learning my Bible. I have to have discipline to finish in a timely manner. Thank you for accepting me. My next course I will be working on is Church Organization and Leadership. Christopher Reece (Trion, GA) Thank you very much for the 6 boxes of books and the other material you sent . . . it is only through precious ministries like yours that the spiritual needs of the ladies can be met. I thank you for helping us to meet those needs. Chaplain Bernita A. Earle (Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution) I thank God for men like you who are not afraid to stand up for God and expose these cults, false prophets and false teachers of today. Your books and tracts have really opened my eyes to a lot. Thank you bro Mike. Terry Hall (Greenwood, MS) (The Sharing Jesus evangelism course) has really opened my heart to the truth of my love for sharing Christ with others. I wasn't going out looking for people to share Christ with until I was told to do it in this course. I'd never passed out tracts before. (Now) I've had things made clear to me concerning all I must do. I (won't) rest until I've done all that I can to win souls for the Lord. Thank you for making this clear. Ellis Matthews (Coleman, FL) EXCITING FOLLOW UP LETTER FROM BROTHER MATTHEWS: I am writing to let you know that I've just won a precious soul. I am proud to say that I followed (Dr. Mike's) soul winning outline overview (in the Sharing Jesus course). All of this took place over three days of talking and sharing Scripture. Dr. Johnston, all round me I see men who are in need of Jesus Christ. Some know that they need Him and others know it but are more concerned with what will be said about them. I know that this is my calling to Share Jesus Christ. I pray that the Lord continues to use you. Ellis Matthews (Coleman, FL) I'm so very fortunate to have met you and the PMI team . . . the encouragement you send me through my continued updated transcripts is wonderful . . . I accept (your) invitation to evangelize throughout this prison and wherever else I go from here. So please allow me to sit at the feet of our Savior and listen as He instructs PMI to instruct me. DuJuan Williamson (Loretto, PA) ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR PRISONERS AND NON-PRISONERS After finishing your Foundations of Faith (8 Lessons), I requested your Intro Pack. I was highly impressed with the level of Bible studies you offer. I have finished several from different ministries yet I have not found them to be challenging enough, or demanding. Your program is at college level which not many Bible schools offer . . . your program offers serious dedication and total commitment. Tony Carrera (Murrieta, CA) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My goal when I get out of here is to work with prison ministry. I have seen first hand now how much of a presence Satan has in a prison. Learning has never been so interesting. Your lessons have given me a new look at things I have read many times before. James George (Ayer, MA) Today is such a blessing to me. At 9:30 am central a man whom I have been witnessing to and praying for for over 4 years accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I am writing this down just moments after everything has occurred and my tears are dripping on this page. Dr. Mike, I have led others . . . but never in my life have I experienced the joy and wonder that now fills my every fiber. I want to thank PMI and you Dr. Mike for giving me the tools (through the Sharing Jesus evangelism course). Love and peace. Steven Wertz (Grady, AR) I want to thank you for caring about me. I am humbled that you have accepted me as a student. I have been studying and working hard to restore my life, and with God's blessing and your kindness I have a good feeling about my future. My goal is to take God's great Word to others that like me, got lost in a world of lying, lust and disgrace . . . for now, the lessons you send will be given my total attention and love. What you are doing for me is incredible. Thank you for all your time and effort. (He included this note with his lesson submission): Excellent study, very challenging. I appreciate the way this study is presented, it makes you think! I look forward to the next one, I can not get enough of this. James George (Ayer, MA) I've enclosed a little money that I pray will help out. I will send more when I can. I can't express to you how these studies are impacting my life and ministry. I thank you for obeying our Lord in good works. It has blessed me so much to be in the PMI program. Thomas Richardson (Nashville, TN) Life here is a daily bombardment of corruption. Abiding within my Christ Jesus is the only relationship here that I seek. All other relationships that I have here are all filtered through His standard. I am curious as to what the filtering process will be when I return to my home church. Will I find the same apostate conditions there that I deal with here? Dr. Mike, this is a trepidation that concerns me to my very soul. Marvin Hatcher, (Canon City, CO) Thank you for your encouraging and uplifting words . . . and being a man of God who cares for others. I wrote the pastor of the church I was going to twice, but he never wrote back. You remind me of Jesus (Who) left the 99 to go after the 1. Thank you for who you are and helping me in my walk in Jesus. Ronald Hampton, (Gainesville, FL) I'm enjoying the depth of understanding that I'm gaining (in my study program). I never realized I was overlooking so much vital knowledge. Thank you brother for working with me in this. I want to equip myself for a lifelong journey doing God's work. Cameron Flood, (Taylorsville, NC) This course is more advanced than any other course that I have ever taken in Biblical studies. It is a lot of writing, but I am enjoying every bit of it. Henry Lee Loston, (Tennessee Colony, TX) I would like to thank you for finding an interest in me and sending me the Bible studies. I really love them so much (because) I want to get all the knowledge I can about my Lord and Savior. I feel so good spiritually when I learn new things about the Lord Jesus Christ. I was lost for 38 years- using drugs and alcohol. When I was saved, I was brought to my knees to repent of my sins, but I didn't change and I was sent to prison. It took this prison sentence to finally wake me up to do the right thing. Robert Tyndell (Newark, NJ) Thank you for this study, (it) is the one I have been looking for. Do you remember the 2 guys that walked along and Jesus came walking with them? This was after the resurrection and their heart burned inside while they talked not knowing it was Jesus. That's how I feel right now and while I was doing this study. Thank you once again. Kevin Dee Clark (Livingston, TN) I was told about PMI by another inmate who is currently doing one of your courses (who) says that it's amazing. He tells me that in his studies his personal relationship with Jesus Christ deepens in intimacy every day and he has discovered things (in the Scriptures) he never dreamed of. Boyd Johnson (St. Cloud, MN) I'm writing you from a very dark place and death and Hell are all around me. Men's hearts are waxed cold, ungodliness has taken hold of their ways and wont let go. Peace is not welcome here, evil controls (from) on high, BUT the Word of God that worketh in me is bringing the mountain down. I ask you for books on faith, on the Holy Spirit and His work . . . in here there are no books on the book cart but worldiness, sex, evil works- will you please send me something to read (and about enrolling) in your Bible college. Pray for me. Dennis Gatewood (Pontiac, MI) Jesus is returning soon! Are you saved? Click this God is really blessing me through your ministry. Satan has been very active in trying to discourage me. He took my son, took my wife, then tried to take my faith in my salvation. Your article on Assurance has awakened my senses to God's Word of truth. Many ministries twist the Bible verses which at times can confuse a young Christian like myself. Thank you. Robert Zukowski (Cresson, PA) It was truly a pleasure doing these lessons. My bond with the Lord has become a lot stronger (which) makes me very happy. Thank you so much for what you have done for me and for other people. May God continue to bless you! David Wimer (Bellefonte, PA) I believe the Lord Jesus wants me enrolled in the PMI Center . . . I believe my interest is God inspired. I know two brothers in Christ that have earned degrees from PMI and they are both wiser in the Word of God than almost anyone else I know here. They speak about Christ from sunrise to sunset and they are confident in the Word. They are on fire for the Lord; they don't just speak about the Lord, they live it! Irving Rivera (Newark, NJ) I have seen up close how your course changes the spiritual aspect in a man's life. I want to become a student now for (learning) in depth the Word of God. Michael Hightower (Morgan, GA) Thank you so much for your letter and your help for my son Ellis. He is very excited about starting the courses and I am grateful for people like you who understand that the Holy Ghost is in prison also, working and moving in men and women's lives. While I'm not a wealthy person, I know God will help me send $15 each month. Cathy Oliver (Antioch, CA) I believe that Jesus has provided me with the information about your program. (He) wants me to grow spiritually and your program is an outstanding way to accomplish this. I pray that you will accept me into your program so I may grow. I will apply myself fully. Denver Stites (Freeland, MI) I would like to thank Dr. Mike for allowing me to take (these) courses. I am learning so much by (this) method of going through each chapter of the Bible. Thank you again, Dr. Mike! James Price (Albion, PA) I think your program is a blessing to prisoners and free world people who are willing to learn more about the Lord. I thank you. Michael Brister (Amarillo, TX) After receiving the Soul Patrol (PMI Assoc. Evangelist program) package and Sharing Jesus (step by step evangelism training course) God has taken me to another level. I now have the tact to share Jesus and effectively share the gospel with a lost soul. I used to write my heart out to Bible colleges and other places begging them to let me in to learn how to preach the gospel and to do it effectively. I give Him all the praise and glory for working in you to reach many hungry brothers like myself. Evangelist Cortez Carter (Trion, GA). I was referred to you by Tom, a minister of the Shadow Mountain Community Church. I'm currently incarcerated in solitary confinement at a California State prison. I told Tom I needed spiritual help and he gave me your address- so here I am! Please help me in any way you can. Jimmy Lopez (Calipatria, CA). I honestly feel that God is involved with PMI. So many schools offer a surface oriented education . . . but not PMI. This is a school (offering) long lasting training in the deep things of God. Thanks so much, and may you sincerely be blessed by Him who wills that we all learn of His Word, the Bible. Dr. Michael Barnett (Livingston, TX). Greetings my dear brother. Just to update you on my evangelist monthly report and to let you know the blessing God is sending my way- Praise God . . . this month was great news (Sharing Jesus). I was able thank for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to (win) two souls to Christ . . . both converted from the Muslim belief. Praise God! I have begun a discipleship study here in the dorm with 6 men in the study. Praise God!!! Evangelist William Wooten (Trion, GA). The Bible teaches that the basic secret of guidance is commitment to the will of God. Your courses help instill that . . . Christian witness is the privilege and duty which arises from the experience of God's salvation in Jesus Christ. Commanded by God, and worldwide in its scope and intention, its purpose is to set forth God's saving acts in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in accordance with the Scriptures, and our dependence on the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this course. I am ready for more! Dr. John Osborn (Florence, AZ). ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR PRISONERS AND NON-PRISONERS

Dear Brethren,
I am excited about the external studies program for prisoners offered by Dr. Michael Johnston's ministry.
It is meeting the definite and growing need for discipleship and
Bible training in this segment of our society.
I have personally reviewed- as well as participated in creating- the curriculum, and find it to be scripturally sound. I am
therefore happy to endorse Dr. Johnston's program for prisoners, and recommend it to
all who are interested in becoming students of the Word and servants of the Lord Jesus Christ.
--Dr. Jack Van Impe
It
has been a great joy to be associated with Brother Johnston. He has been
a great help to me as I seek to study more in God's amazing Word and
further my education during these trying times. The world needs men of
understanding of the times to know what we should do as in the days of
Ezra. The courses offered at PMI help fill that great need. As the world
descends into the long ago predicted insanity of the last days we need
ministries like this that stand true to God's Word. Thanks for all you
do Brother! --Dr. Kent Hovind
