Coronavirus
opens new avenues of ministry!
Keeping with our theme for 2020 God has opened new doors of opportunity for Rock of Ages Ministries
and our missionary families. We are believing “God is Able” Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:20
While the majority of prisons, jails, and schools in America and throughout the world are temporarily closed
to volunteers and guests during the coronavirus outbreak, God has opened other avenues for us to proclaim
the Gospel in institutions.
PRISONS
Praise the Lord for missionaries who
have the ability to discern an open door
of opportunity and are sensitive to the
leading of the Holy Spirit. As a result of the
coronavirus temporarily restricting entrance
to state and federal prisons, our missionaries
realized there was a great need for masks
to be provided in the institutions for both
officers and prisoners. As a result, masks were
purchased and placed inside ziplock bags with
Gospel tracts and provided to prisons and jails.
Many officers and prisoners received masks
with Gospel literature who normally would
not accept the Gospel. Some missionaries
have started radio broadcasts through local
stations near the prisons. Others are providing
preaching DVDs to the prisons to be aired on
the prison channels.
The director of a juvenile facility contacted one
of our missionaries stating the young people at
her facility were eager to attend church services
and had a great desire to hear preaching. She
went on to say she had never seen this type of
spiritual desire among the residents. Realizing
the potential, one of our missionaries jumped into
action and God opened a new avenue of ministry
to the juvenile facilities that has extended to the
prisons. Several of our missionary families are
involved in this new opportunity. A new avenue
of ministry has opened to the Prison Prevention
team ministering in the public schools and has
the potential to reach an entire family! For more
details on these avenues of ministry in the Juvenile
Facilities and Prison Prevention
please read Rick Hildebrand’s
article on page 8.

ROCK OF AGES INTERNATIONAL UPDATE
To every thing there
is a season, and a time
to every purpose under
the heaven:…”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
…”
I was eight years of age and my dad was
stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, and I can still
remember standing outside and all along the
sidewalk families stood while husbands and
dads where preparing for what is now known as
the Cuban Missile Crisis. There was an air of fear
as husbands and wives were hugging each other
and their children. Later as a teenager, I would
be in high school at the height of the Vietnam
War (some refer to as a conflict) and though
ready to go if called on there was ongoing fear
as many would never return home.
Then at 44 years of age Brother Elvis Emerson
and I had just checked into the hotel in Bucharest,
Romania when Brother Mircea Cristian
knocked on my door and said, “Brother Ricky
you need to turn on the television, America is
Under Attack!” So many thoughts went through
our minds and fear began to grip our hearts.
Are our families okay? Who is this enemy that
has attacked us? And now the world is gripped
by fear of an unseen enemy. This enemy has
crippled an international economy and has
quarantined the world.
However, every born-again believer realizes that
we have battled an unseen enemy since we were
saved. Saints and servants of the Lord wrestle not
against flesh and blood but an unseen and very
real enemy. In the gospels we read that our Lord
would be taken by the enemy to be tempted.
The Bible would then tell us that when the devil
ended all his temptations He would depart for a
season. Solomon tells that for everything there is
a season. Praise the Lord that seasons come and
go with time and that with everything there is a
purpose. It is truly exciting to hear though what
appears to so many to be a time of idleness many
report souls being saved and families gathering
together again and having family prayer and
devotion. These are great times to pray for one
another and to begin to prepare for the time that
when so many are looking for answers we can be
ready with the answer.

FROM THE FIELD
By Dr. Ricky Dunsford
Executive Vice President
AFRICA
The container loaded with French and English
Bibles, New Testaments, John and Romans and
various Rock of Ages printed material is still on
schedule to arrive in Liberia the end of April. The
material will be used in Liberia, Sierra Leon and
Ivory Coast. Please keep our partners throughout
Africa in your prayers as they work to get the
material to their countries and that the Lord will
open the door for the material to be distributed
to the prisoners.
GUATEMALA
Preparation for purchasing the three-story
complex that we have been renting was to begin
this May. However, the dear brother who had
made us a great offer and was prepared to move
forward with the contract in June went on to
be with the Lord as a result of contracting the
Covid-19 virus. Of course, the property will now
go to the children who are asking market valve.
This increases the cost by $100,000. Please pray
for the family at the loss of their father and pray
as we seek other options to purchase property.
ROMANIA
Brother Mircea Cristian is in contact with many
of the volunteers and partners that have worked
in the prisons throughout the country. They
began to pray, with the country closed how can
we reach the prison staff? The team decided to
raise funds to order 20,000 masks from China,
purchase a special sweet roll for every officer and
inmate and supply a New Testament and a gospel
tract with the plan of salvation and send it to
every prison we are working. Please pray that all
goes well as they wait on the masks, and prepare
for distribution.
PHILIPPINES
The work continues to be closed down throughout
the prison systems. Several years ago, the Rock
of Ages was able to build a meeting place in the
Bilibid Prison which is located on the outskirts or
the Manila area. The saved men have considered
this place their church. Rock of Ages missionary
Jun Monderin goes in on a weekly basis and
holds services. The inmates felt that they should
be giving their tithe and offerings to help with
the weekly meetings. Recently, with the inmates
not able to meet they got together and sent their
offering of 2000 Pesos ($40) to their preacher.
What a joy that the men remain faithful.
The families overseas continue to send Bible
lessons to the prisoners and praise the Lord
we are seeing men and women write back
and share how through the lessons they have
been saved.
Several of our missionaries and partners are
working diligently during this time in translation
work.
Join us in Prayer:
1. As we continue preparing, translating, printing
and shipping materials around the world.
2. When the prisons and public schools open
again that the Lord moves on the heart of those
in charge of the need of the gospel.
3. For the health of our missionaries and their
families as they go back into areas that one
high risk.
4. ABOVE ALL, what a time to pray for revival!

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The Discipleship Institute
consists of three divisions: Prisoners Bible
Institute, Servicemen’s Bible Institute, and
the Sojourners Bible Institute. We have
nearly 19,000 prisoners as students worldwide.
All the lessons are done through
correspondence, with the textbook being
the King James Bible. There are a total of
31,381 questions available for the students
to complete, and it is still expanding.
Romans 10:17
"So then faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God."
We just believe the Bible, and take it to
mean what it says. Therefore, we put forth
every effort we can to saturate the prisoner
with the Word of God, and God gets all the
Glory for what takes place. We will follow
the inmate throughout their incarceration,
keeping the lessons flowing to them, even
as they change institutions, and to those who
desire to continue, when they are released
to go home. It is definitely a rewarding
ministry. We get to see many souls saved,
and many lives changed and strengthened
to live for God. Last year we received letters
Page 6 | Rock of Ages Magazine | Summer 2020

DR. ROBERT
KEETON
and notes from 1,506 telling us that they had
been saved as a result of doing the lessons.
I want to share one such note with you that
blessed my heart and I trust it will yours as well.
It was one of those that just re-enforced the fact
that it is worth every cent it takes to print and mail
those lessons. By way of explanation, so that you
will understand his opening statement, we send
every inmate that completes the entire New
Testament studies a paperback Rock of Ages
Study Bible as a reward for their accomplishment.
“I want to thank you for sending me the Rock of
Ages Study Bible. You don’t know what a blessing
it was to receive. Your studies have done so much
for me. All your studies have re-shaped my life in
understanding and walking in God’s Word. Each
one of your studies has enriched my soul in so
many ways. I thought that I had an understanding
of what it took to be right with God. Through
the lessons I realized I did not understand
the true meaning of repentance, but I do
know now and I did repent, and I have
given my life to the Lord. I am on my second
round reading my Bible through and marking it
as God lays things on my heart. In September,
I lost my dad to cancer, but I was able to share
God’s Word with him before he passed. Now
he is spending his life with Jesus. Thank you for
your time and all your help in changing my life
in God’s Word.” Inmate
Philippians 4:17
"Not because I desire a gift:
but I desire fruit that may
abound to your account."
What a blessing to see fruit bearing fruit.
What a blessing we have in store for us
when we get to heaven and learn of the full
impact of our efforts here, and the fruit that
has been borne. Just think, this is just one
of thousands that the lessons has made an
impact on. God gets all the glory, for it is
His Word that has done it all. We have the
privilege of being a part of such a great
ministry.
We literally receive letters constantly sharing with
us what God has done and is doing in the lives
of inmates. The inmates are constantly thanking
us for the lessons, but we can not accomplish the
task without you and your prayers holding up
this ministry before the Lord. We want to join the
inmate in thanking you that have given financially
and prayed faithfully for God’s blessings upon
the Rock of Ages Discipleship Institute.
These lessons are available online “free” to
anyone that wishes to do them, including our
military. If you know someone serving in the
military, please tell them about these lessons.
Please visit our website www.roapmdi.com
to register and get started working at your own
pace. You can even print your own certificates
when you complete a lesson.

JUVENILE
MINISTRY
It is always amazing to see God at work when it seems
all things are impossible. If we will turn to Him, He is
faithful to do exceedingly above all we ask or think.
Psalm 107:1-2 O give thanks
unto the LORD,for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say
so, whom he hath redeemed from the
hand of the enemy; Psalm 107:8 Oh
that men would praise the LORD for
his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men!
The phrase in verse 8 is
used four different times. God
delivers different types of
people out of critical circumstances
they had gotten into. He is faithful
and it is true “Oh that men would
praise the Lord for his goodness.” In
these days of uncertainty in our world
it sure is a wonderful thing to open up
our Bible to get a strength that is not
ours but His to sustain us through any
and all troubles that life will give us.
We have experienced changes like
we have never known. But here in the
Juvenile side of the ministry there are
always challenges when working with
troubled youth. We have been saying
for some time that we need to think
outside the box. In our world that is
rapidly changing toward a godless
society, we are working with some
governmental establishments that are
setting limits on us doing things the
Page 8 | Rock of Ages Magazine | Summer 2020
way we have always done them. As a
result, Missionary Larry Key looked for
ways to expand his ministry outreach
and he started sending emails to all
of the facilities he conducted services
in encouraging and informing them
that Rock of Ages is praying for them.
A facility in Georgia where he had just
received clearance to have a special
meeting before the Coronavirus hit
causing the meeting to be canceled
responded to him thanking him for
his encouraging words. Later, the
director contacted him stating the
young people at her facility were
asking for church services and that
she had never seen this type of spirit
among them before. She asked if the
ministry would write to encourage
the youth to serve the Lord. Brother
Key contacted several of the Rock of
Ages missionaries and asked them
to write devotions and encouraging
letters and to be sent to the facility.
The Gospel is going in each
week to this facility through
the personal devotions and
letters to each 85 plus young
men at this facility. I ask you to
pray that as we share this avenue of
ministry with other facilities that they
will allow us to implement this at their
institution. God Can!
The Prison Prevention team has
implemented a new avenue of ministry
to the schools during this time of the
Coronavirus “stay at home” orders
which has temporarily closed our
learning institutions. Brother Jeff
Bellamy is working with the team
putting together videos of missionaries
teaching our Character Under
Construction (CUC) lessons. Teachers
are providing the videos taught by
the missionaries that normally teach
in their classes. This has been a very
effective ministry outreach and has
proven to be a great blessing to many
students and teachers. Our missionary
Marvin Hollifield received a photo of
a student watching a video with their
younger sibling viewing it with them.
The sibling does not look of age to
attend school, but both were glued to
the monitor as the lesson was taught.
The photo was sent from a grateful
mother! Please pray with us as we seek
the face of God for wisdom on how to
proceed with this new opportunity that
lays before us. Who can tell what
God will do!

Youth Director

FROM THE
PRINT SHOP
I am excited to once
again report on what
God is doing through our
Publishing Department.
We have recently printed 5 new
books written by our missionaries.
We were only able to print 33,000
of each book due to our lack of
cover stock. These 165,000 books
will not last very long. We normally
would print 70,000 to 100,000 of
each title. We sure could use some
financial help for paper. Especially
cover stock.
Our missionaries go soul winning in
prisons across America almost every
day. As they go preaching the
Gospel they also distribute
thousands of books and tracts
as they endeavor to win the
lost to Christ and encourage
the ones who are saved. We
often receive mail thanking us for the
Gospel material that brought them to
the knowledge of the saving Grace
of God. Prison is a lonely place even
when surrounded by hundreds of
people. Our material means much to
the inmates. Prisons are on lockdown
and closed to outside guests at this
time. Even though we cannot enter
to minister, thousands can hear from
heaven through the printed word
they receive.
Due to the coronavirus our office was
on restricted operational mode and
the print shop was closed for a brief
time to protect our staff. We have
reopened the printshop and
once again we are printing as
usual.
Please know we are praying for our
friends and supporters that the Lord
will protect you, and keep you safe
during this pandemic. Thank you for
all you have done and are doing to
help us win the lost and encourage
the ones who are saved.

Lovely Ladies
ministry update
One of our single missionaries, Miss
Sarah Burnett, is such a tremendous
blessing wherever the Lord leads
her. She started out with very little monetarily
after leaving the Air Force where she served
as Military Police and dispatcher for 911. She
has traveled all across
America to women’s
prisons faithfully trusting
God all along the way.
Miss Sarah has seen
many trust Christ as
their Saviour and enjoys
serving the Lord with
excitement about the
opportunity the Lord has
opened to her. To name
Sarah
Burnett
a few, in Tennessee there were 80 precious
souls saved, and 206 in a revival meeting in
Alabama, and 28 ladies were saved during a
Christmas Stocking distribution in Washington
State. Please remember Miss Sarah in prayer
as she continues her ministry in reaching lost
souls for Christ and the financial support
needed to travel full-time to the women’s
prisons of America. Let’s hear her testimony
and a message from her pastor:
TESTIMONY:
Thank you for this opportunity to share my testimony
and burden for the incarcerated women of America. I
was raised in a Christian home and was saved at the
age of seven. My mother had the special opportunity
of leading me to the Lord at our home on the garage
steps. Shortly after, I attended Jr. Camp where I
surrendered to serve the Lord fulltime in some type
of ministry capacity. After graduating high school, I
struggled with the will of God and desired to enlist
in the Air Force. I began making a series of many bad
decisions and realized I was ruining my life outside of
the will of God. One night while serving in South Korea,
feeling discouraged and defeated, I asked God to help
me and the Lord sent a missionary and I began going
back to church and re-dedicated my life to the Lord.
After separating from the Air Force, the Lord gave me a
job working as a dispatcher. During my tenure, I felt as
though I was helping people by sending the police and
fire department, but in my heart, I knew they needed
the Gospel and this was the only thing that would
change their hearts and lives. The Lord continued
to burden my heart to reach the lost through every
area of my life such as: going on a mission trip, soulwinning,
teaching Sunday School, working in the bus
ministry and music ministry. The Lord began dealing
with my heart specifically about the prison ministry
after getting selected for jury duty. The group was
Page 10 | Rock of Ages Magazine | Summer 2019 2020

given a tour of the local jail and as we were walking
past the chapel, the Lord pricked my heart and said,
“Sarah, how many people in here do you think need
the Gospel?” As I prayed and asked the Lord to
guide me, He began opening many doors and gave
me Scripture to confirm all that He was doing in my
heart to reach the ladies in the local jails and prisons.
Specifically, in April of 2018, the Lord opened a
door to allow our church to have a Bible study at
a workhouse which is an alternative to prison that
also assists in rehabilitation. There have been 28
ladies that have accepted Christ as their Savior in
this facility! The more that I work with the ladies, the
greater the burden the Lord gives me! With all the
different religions they allow in the prisons it is no
wonder they are misguided and confused. One lady
in particular has already served 7 years in prison,
was released, and because of a parole violation was
back in the system. She wished the judge would have
sent her back to prison to finish her remaining time
but instead he sent her to a correctional facility we
were ministering in. She shared with me that she
was separated from her children, had no hope, and
would rather be back in prison because it taught
her how to become a better criminal. To God be
the glory, she is 1 of the 28 that has since made a
profession of faith. Please pray that God will do a
great work in her heart and that she will live for Christ.
PASTOR’S RECOMMENDATION:
It is with great honor that I introduce to you Sister
Sarah Barnett. She is a faithful member of Salem
Baptist Church. She has served as a Sunday School
teacher, has been a hard worker, and a soul winner.
The Lord began working on her heart about a year
ago to go and reach an ever growing epidemic of
incarcerated women which is today the quickest
growing demographic of people in our prisons and
jails across our nation. This burden has not just been
in sister Sarah’s thoughts, but she has responded with
the same zeal and fervor as she has put into everything
else she has put her hands to within our congregation.
She has been working with the ladies in one of our
local jails here in Cincinnati and has been blessed to
see many souls saved during her time in this facility.
She has recently surrendered to work with incarcerated
women fulltime through Rock of Ages Ministries based
in Cleveland, TN. She has been through rigorous training
and questioning at Rock of Ages and has come through
with an ever-increasing burden for these women that
need the truth so desperately. It goes without saying
that sister Sarah is not preaching but rather sharing
the Gospel and conducting Bible studies in areas
our men cannot go. I cannot emphasize enough the
need for godly women in this field ripe unto harvest!
I would encourage you to prayerfully consider
supporting Sister Sarah as she travels across the
country sharing the Gospel with these women.
I trust you will be encouraged by her testimony
and her zeal for the work God has given her to do.
Sincerely,
Patrick O. Hackathorn Jr.
Pastor, Salem Baptist Church

College of Biblical Studies
& Theological Seminary
NEW ONLINE VIDEO COURSES
Through the years we have seen a need in many churches for teachers, pastors are
not having enough teachers to fill their need, and pastors needing quality materials
for Sunday School, Bible Classes, shut-ins, and to offer college-level classes in their
church.
The eight courses that we now have available are only the beginning. Each course consists of
13 – 16 lessons that will average 45 minutes each. They can be purchased and used repeatedly
in multiple classes. The courses are recorded with the instructors that have written the materials
doing the teaching.
These new video courses are easy to follow and impart knowledge from God's Word with great
clarity, detail, and interesting visual presentations. It is a great avenue to engage more of God's
people in studying His Word as it is very effective for people with limited time.
The cost of each course is $300.00 and will include all lessons pertaining to the course purchased
as detailed in the Presentation Video.
In the long run, the materials will be much more cost-effi cient than curriculum that has been
made available to churches in the past.
Again, our goal is to be a help to God’s people, by presenting a means or method of teaching that
will enhance their desire to learn. In return, I believe they will have a greater desire to serve.
If you need more information, or have other questions, please contact us.

THE PROVERBS 12 MAN
The Proverbs 12 Man is an exposition of the twelfth chapter of Proverbs. Biblical
principles and instructions for implementing those principles are given for the
maturing man who chooses to live godly. Consequences of rejecting those
principles are presented to attempt to restrain the young man who is choosing
a destructive path. The maturing godly man is encouraged to be observant of
those around him and give attention to their needs.
ELIJAH: THE MAN OF GOD
This book explores the character and events in the life of Elijah, the Old Testament
prophet. Although serving God during a time of great wickedness in Israel, he
was sensitive to God’s call and willing to do whatever God demanded even
though his human weaknesses were revealed at the brook Cherith. Elijah was
not a super saint as he often cried out to God complaining about his condition.
Within the seven miracles God performed through Elijah, practical applications
of spiritual growth are presented through his responses. Even though his human
weaknesses often troubled him, he never shirked his commitment to God’s call
on his life.

The Soul Winner's Discipleship New Testament
It has always been the goal of Rock of Ages Ministries to provide materials that will be a blessing and offer assistance to
local churches, schools, colleges, and individual Christians. We have developed this New Testament with soulwinning and

filled with wonderful resources that every soulwinner will truly appreciate.
The Soul Winner's Discipleship New Testament features:
The Soulwinner’s Presentation Page
This page, in the front of the Bible, is presented to the individual that was saved. It records their name and the name of the one that led them to Christ,
the name and address of the church or ministry represented, and the date, time, and location where the individual trusted Christ as their Saviour.
A Soulwinner’s marked edition
A Summary of all major doctrines of the Bible
A "How to study the Bible" section

A Summary of Baptist and Denominationalism
Full Color Paperback
$5.00 each
Rock of Ages Ministries is excited about this book, as it is a great resource concerning the history
of the Baptist and it explains the origins of denominationalism.
This is a great study for Sunday School Classes, Pastoral Studies, or Home Studies. It is also a great
gift idea for any Christian seeking to dig deeper into the Word of God and hungering for biblical
knowledge and wisdom.
The book is easy to read in large font text, is clear and concise, and is sure to captivate the reader
during the first few pages.
Revealing Islam By Dr. Robert Keeton
Soft Cover $15.00
E-Book $9.99
Since May of 1996, Dr. Robert Keeton has taught missionaires and held church seminars on the
religion of Islam. In Revealing Islam, Dr. Keeton gives us an informative look at the beliefs and
practices of Islam that will help to equip the reader with knowledge of how to reach them. This
instructional book reveals his research to us, and the blessing he has had to put his findings into
practice. He does this by providing examples of his experiences witnessing to many Muslims and
seeing them come to Christ.
Dr. Keeton also reveals the rapid advance of Islam in our present day and its emerging role as the
one-world religious platform for the antichrist during the tribulation period.
This is a wonderful resource, and has been instrumental in many accepting Christ as Saviour
through the Biblical principles it presents.
God’s Approval on Your Ministry By Dr. Mike Van Horn
Soft Cover $5.00
God has given every born-again, Bible-believing Christian his/her very own ministry, and in order
to fulfill the ministry the LORD has entrusted us with, we must learn to tap into His powerful
resources. Dr. Mike Van Horn has a great burden to awaken 21st century Christians to the
seemingly forgotten practice of fasting. In God’s Approval on Your Ministry: A Practical guide to
Biblical Fasting, Dr. Van Horn shows us that there are not only many different Biblical reasons to
fast, but that God’s Word gives us guidelines for why, when, and how to fast.
Read and find out how every Christian today can add fasting, the secret weapon in God’s arsenal,
to his/her prayer life!
