Allow the Lord to come into your life to change you, heal you, restore you, and make you whole. Only through repentance
will your conversion come.
If you believe that the Bible offers truth about the way to salvation, but you have not made the decision yet to become a
Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula.
Just pray from your heart to God, and He will save you. If you feel lost and just don’t know what to pray, here’s a prayer of
salvation that you can pray:
will your conversion come.

| "Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen." |
 | Read your Bible everyday to get to know God |
| Worship, fellowship, and serve with others in a church where God is preached |
| Get rid of friends that will direct you off your path to God. Don't allow them to take you to hell with them. Keep the | |
| friends that want to go to heaven with you. The people who are making you a better person are your true friends and they are God's friends! |
| When you wake up each day, take a moment to thank God |
| When you go to bed each night, take a moment to tell God thank you for all the blessings you experienced that day |
| Never forget God loves you unconditionally |
| Be a great role model. Your actions will bring more people to God than your words |
| Love yourself! |
| Forgive yourself for your past actions and concentrate on staying on the path to God |
| Remember, prayers that aren't prayed will never be answered | |

| How To Read The Bible For Better Understanding |
The Bible is its own best teacher. The Bible however is not arranged like an encyclopedia. You cannot go to chapter 1 and
read everything about God and go to chapter 2 to read everything about Jesus, etc. Remember when reading the Bible the
verses and chapter breaks are placed in the scriptures by man. It is better to read by paragraph, these too are man-made
but they do conform better to the original language than verses. Some ground rules need to be set up first:
Now with those in mind, let's lay out the way to read the Bible to let it build on itself:
Your voyage through God's Word will take about 5 weeks. It will be the best traveling you can ever take. You will laugh andyou will cry. It has everything that makes a very good book, and lots more. It can teach you the most important things for this
life and the one to come.
read everything about God and go to chapter 2 to read everything about Jesus, etc. Remember when reading the Bible the
verses and chapter breaks are placed in the scriptures by man. It is better to read by paragraph, these too are man-made
but they do conform better to the original language than verses. Some ground rules need to be set up first:
 | Pray first before opening God's word. Ask for guidance and to be able to accept what is written and to be able to | |
| apply His will to your life. |
| Never, never read the Bible trying to proof your belief on any subject. It is only human nature to take ideas out of | |
| context. |
| When you are reading and come across something that does not make sense, reread the paragraph or chapter | |
| again. If you still do not understand, write down the problem area and continue onward. You may discover the answers later in your reading. |
| Do not read large amounts of the Bible in one setting. Take breaks often. Or stay with about 4-6 chapters a day. |
| Start with the New Testament, people who start with the Old Testament almost never read the Bible all the way | |
| through. |
| The New Testament is what is binding on us today not the Old. |
| Forget everything you have ever heard about Jesus, God and the Bible before you start reading the Bible. Don't take | |
| what you want it to say with you first. |
Now with those in mind, let's lay out the way to read the Bible to let it build on itself:
| Read "Mark." (It is written in chronological order.) |
| Read "Matthew." (It goes into better detail of some events and adds more about Jesus.) |
| Read "John." (It contains a lot of the life of Jesus not before read, especially his last two weeks before the crucifixion.) |
| Read "Luke" then "Acts." (Both written by Apostle Paul's traveling companion Luke. Acts is a continuation of Luke. | |
| It describes the early church and contains the examples of New Testament conversions.) |
| Read "Galations." (It deals with the reasons why we do not follow the Old Testament Laws in a more simplified way | |
| than does Romans or Hebrews.) |
| Then read the rest of the New Testament starting at Romans and going to Revelation. |
Your voyage through God's Word will take about 5 weeks. It will be the best traveling you can ever take. You will laugh and
life and the one to come.
PISI highly recommends the Contemporary
English Version (CEV). The CEV has been
described as a "user-friendly" and a
"mission-driven" translation that can be read
aloud without stumbling, heard without
misunderstanding, and listened to with
enjoyment and appreciation, because the
language is contemporary and the style is
lucid and lyrical.

PISI highly recommends the New
International Version (NIV).The NIV was
created and is maintained with the mandate
to accurately and faithfully translate the
original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic biblical
texts into clearly understandable English.
The NIV is the most widely accepted
contemporary Bible translation today. More
people buy the NIV Bible than any other
English-language translation.
