Here are a few excerpts from letters we have received into the Prison Ministry.
I have been receiving the Spanish Message books for years now and testify to the power and revelation of Jesus Christ through Brother Branham. Never a prophet blessed us like him! I write my sister in Mexico all time about Brother Branham, what a Message he has. She writes me back, and tells me to write mother. So I was a little worried what mother would think, so I wrote her about “a man,” but not mentioning Brother Branham’s name. She writes me back, and tells me to forget about this “man” I talk about, that she has Truth! She tells me about a little church they have been going to for about a year, they play the tapes of a man by the name of Brother Branham and if I want, she will try to send me a book. Brothers, I felt like a heart attack. I jumped and thanked the true and living Lord Jesus Christ for doing something I thought was impossible. Now we write about the Message, and I can’t wait to get back home to Mexico and worship with my family.

This is the first time I write English. I read Branham’s books, but it is very hard. Here you are known because you have Truth and love. Nobody cares for us like you do, and you have Truth. Can send me Spanish from God's prophet? Much love.

I gave my heart to the Lord about three weeks ago; it was a mess. I had been praying for help that I can stay on the path and learn about Jesus. I was given a book the other day titled, “Thirst,” and it sounded familiar. Sure enough, as I read the book, it was Brother Branham and my prayer was answered. I’m embarrassed to say, but I was raised in this Message. My grandpa would go around and play the Tapes at people’s houses. He made me listen to everyone, and I was baptized in Jesus Name as a child. As soon as I could, well trouble was there. Now, I’m here crawling my way back. I prayed and I believe that Brother Branham again came to help me. It’s really not all that bad here. The books are available, and I work in the garment department. When I’m not working, I study. I miss my Grandpa, but now I have Brother Branham back in my life. Thank you so very much for the lifeline.

I just finished the most powerful book I’ve read so far, "Hebrews." Wow, when Brother Branham said that you and Jesus Christ must be one, well something inside of me just clicked. I tell you I just wept and wept. Never did I understand that connection, then Brother Branham just explains it so simple. It could be nothing else, you and Him have to be one, Praise the Lord, what blessing. I thank God for all who make this ministry possible for us!

My family always went to church, and in Africa there are so many preachers and they all preach the Gospel, but I never heard the Gospel until I came to prison. Someone loaned me a book to read called, “A Man Sent From God.” Brother, I never heard this Gospel. These are words that everyman of God must know. This is unarguable the true Revelation that the Holy Spirit has brought through our prophet, William Branham! Dare anyone say different! Then shock, I was starting Chapter 15 and the brother that loaned me the book got transferred and retook the book with him. Oh, I tell you I cried and prayed to God to help me, I must have His precious words. A new day and another inmate, I did not know, walked up and handed me his copy of the same book; I could not talk, I was without words. Brother, there is a deep hunger in my gut for more of the prophet’s revelations. Please feed me!

Thank you for the Hebrew book. I carry it with me everywhere I go. Many times I have to get on my knees to read it in order to receive the mysteries inside. Never was there a man like Brother Branham, and to think he has come to me with this Word from God. Oh brothers, the Word of God in my hand, I could just explode. Have mercy, Lord!

I am so thrilled, and very blessed. I have received your shipment. I am very touched by what I have found therein, and I look forward to sharing these blessings with the inmates.

I started reading "The Seventy Weeks of Daniel," and I discovered things that I knew were not in the Bible. It bothered me, because I couldn’t believe that Brother Branham would say things that were not correct. Well, I read my Bible and read it again, next day I read it again, I knew I had to be missing something. Then all of a sudden, there it was just the way Brother Branham said it. I thought you really got to pay attention. Then the truth came to me. So many times Brother Branham has said you don’t know your ABC’s. So, I put Brother Branham’s books aside and started studying my Bible, word by word and line by line. I’m done playing!

I earnestly request prayer. I have returned to prison, because I have been fooling myself. I thought because I read the Message books, my Bible, I was baptized, pay tithes when I can, that I was a believer. Well, like I wrote before, I lasted two weeks outside before I went lower than I ever was. Now I’m back in my cell again, and I have the Message books and my Bible, but it’s so hard to read them, I failed Him before. I read about Peter and I know there is hope for me. I was uplifted by a little quote where Brother Branham said something like, "It’s not that you hang on it’s that Jesus hung on." I’m clinging to that, and claiming it. Please remember me.

I have been studying Hebrews in the Bible, when your book on Hebrews arrived. Right away, I started reading and right away I got lost. I backed up and took a breath and started all over. I tell you without the prophet, nobody would know the true revelation of the Gospel!

For two years all I did was ask God to get me out of here. I have no friends, no family and I'm scared all the time. Finally, I gave up, and I said, "I’m sorry God, just whatever you want," nothing changed. Well, I quit asking God for help and told Him, “I’m not even sure you exist. I’ve never seen You, or heard from You.” I know I was very stupid and dangerous, but at the time I was done with everything. Then someone slipped me a book called, “Man Sent From God.” I read and re-read and started again word by word, there was just a pain in the pit of my stomach that I could not fill, then it happened, everything just collapse around me. I tried to lift my arms, tried to move, but all I could do was sit there and just weep. I was not crying like when I was first put in here, but a deep weeping from somewhere deep inside me that I could not stop. Finally, it passed, I looked and the pages were wet from my weeping and I felt so clean inside, just all washed out. Like the weeping took everything bad from me. I fell on my knees thanking the great, merciful God for making Himself real to me, and I thank Brother Branham for coming to me in my darkest hour. Now, I have friends, loved ones around the world that think of me and pray for me.

I have never done anything like this before, it never would have come into my mind to do this, but would you please send me a Bible and some of Brother Branham’s books. Please.

I have read the Church Ages, and I am halfway through the Hebrews book. I was checking everything with the Bible and was wondering why this Message is so rejected by others. This is God’s Truth, why do they not listen? Then I looked around, looked where I was, the bars, the walls, I just started crying and asking for God to forgive me. Lord, I am in prison because I too had rejected You and Your ways and substituted my ways. Please, never let me stray, and never let me be critical of anyone, because I was the same.
