"I wanted to keep you informed of the progress of my education and the ministry here at Broad River Correctional Facility. Classes are going good. I am learning so much from my studies. I thank God for people like you who are willing to share God's love through provisions. The impact you make on our lives here in prison will affect all eternity. I hope you will be encouraged knowing you are making an impact on me, and everyone who will partake of the fruit that your produced through giving. God Bless you!!" - Tim
"Thank you for providing this opportunity. Jesus is being proclaimed as I learn more about him. I preach him on Sundays and talk about Him every day through the week. I never wanted to learn before i was saved. I dropped out of 7th grade, but God is rewriting my story. He is using you to help me. My story is now a part of your story." -Tim
"I want to thank you for the blessing of a college course for me. It is a blessing to be able to learn and grow, and then take what God has given and bless other who are in need. You are playing a big role in God's plan to find purpose and meaning, and for that I am forever grateful and humbled." - Eric
"My goal now is to complete Hobe Sound Bible College for a bachelor's degree in counseling. Since the Lord changed me, my whole outlook on life has changed. Therefore, the tools acquired from my studies will be utilized to help others." - Joel
"Education has raised my self-worth which in turn motivates me to encourage others to educate themselves. I am not trying to build students who are dependent on me. I am trying to build leaders and help men find their leadership purpose." – Mike C.
“I would like to say thank you to Mike C. for helping me find hope in Jesus Christ, my Savior, when I was really confused, coming off dope, and searching. This is my first time in prison at age 62. I used and abused drugs for 52 years of my life. One of the many ways Mike helped me is how he encouraged me to write to my children that I hadn't spoken to in about 15 years. I received a letter from my son last week, thank God, and before reading it I hit my knees and thanked God for answering my prayer. God has blessed me in so many ways since coming to prison. He keeps showing His love for me through people like Mike C. Praise God!" – Kenneth C.

Holy Week 2023 was indeed a blessing from the Lord for On THE ROCK Ministries! On Monday, of Holy Week, the Spirit led me to wear a red shirt to my workplace, Phenix Engineered Textiles, in Landrum, South Carolina, where I am employed as Corporate Chaplain. I explained to several employees the red shirt could be a symbol of the blood that Jesus poured out on Good Friday for all of our sins.
Many discussions ensued about the significance of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. On Thursday, of Holy Week, many at Phenix Engineered Textiles wore red shirts in unity and honor of what the Lamb of God had done for all of us sinners. Upon sharing this powerful movement of the Spirit with one of our front office workers, she was touched in such a way that she surrendered her life to God! Another soul brought home by the Spirit! Yes, He gave it all, so we could have it all!
Thank you, Jesus! A lot can happen in 3 days!
