The PMI Center for Biblical Studies has been providing TUITION-FREE Bible college level studies to prisoners across America since 1981. Please see our degree course offerings. Many of our 24,000 students have received their degrees from our affiliate Calvary Christian College and Seminary and have gone on to become pastors-teachers, evangelists, ministry workers and all around model Christians. This is all made possible by the generous freewill offerings of those who understand that it's possible for a man or woman to change. If you or a loved one behind bars would like information on enrolling, please write or download an Introductory Pack explaining everything.  


MAY I ASK? Do you have a special place set apart in your home where you regularly meet with God? Do your children see you there? My friend and brother in Christ Jeff Fannin distributes these beautiful oak Family Altars NON PROFIT simply to ensure every home has their very own. BTW, I use brother Jeff's Good Shepherd's Printing Services exclusively. He has by far the lowest prices and finest quality of any of the 20 printing companies PMI has used in the past! Mention Dr. Mike when you call brother Jeff!

 

Brother Bob Johnston is now with Jesus

Dr. Mike's father, Rev. Robert (Bob) Lacy Johnston, D.D., went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Good Friday, April 10, 2009. He was 82. He loved this ministry and was totally committed to the 20,000 inmates he influenced for Jesus during his life. (more)


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 the curriculum, and find it to be scripturally sound...therefore I am 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

LUTHER RICE COLLEGE AND SEMINARY: After a thorough review our our courses, we received the following response from the President of Luther Rice, the undisputed pioneer in distance education: 

Dear. Dr. Johnston, Thank you for the follow-up letter of October 3. I did, indeed, receive the materials you sent and found them quite impressive. Of all the ministries that I have written, yours comes closest to what I was hoping to find.

When I am advised of students who are looking for high quality theological education but are unable to meet the financial requirements of Luther Rice Seminary, I will certainly recommend Promise Ministries.

Again, thank you for your concern and for the good work that you are doing.

In Him, J.M. Kinnebrew, Th.D.
Luther Rice Seminary


ATTENTION: Evangelists - Pastors - Teachers (Eph. 4:11-12)

If you've been called by God as an evangelist, pastor, or teacher of the Word, is it not time you were equipped and/or recognized for ministry? Two of our newer degree track additions are featured below:

Religious Education (30 Hours- M.R.E. - D.R.E. option*)

Old Scofield Study Bible Course- (60 Hours- Th.A - Th.M option*)

  This is a 30 hour degree track option for those holding a valid Bachelor's or Master's degree in Arts, Science, Biblical Studies, Rel. Ed, or Theology.

This is an intense 4-Module (15 credits ea.) study of the Old Scofield Bible. This is NOT the original Scofield Correspondence Course from Moody. 

*Degree option depends upon a Degree and Credit Evaluation (DACE) analysis. Credits awarded for previous coursework and life experience. 

Dear Dr. Mike . . .

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)

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).

YOUR HELP IS A BLESSING
We believe when a person is in Christ they become new creatures (2 Cor. 5:17)! PMI Center Bible study programs do that. Every student is given a preliminary course to introduce them to Christ and the Christian life before anything else is sent. All of these courses are provided as TUITION ASSISTED to students, with funds provided by precious supporters that are concerned about inmate's souls. Would you help us send life-changing Bible courses to prisoners?
