The Institute of Self-Worth®Additional Comments About ISW "The ISW curriculum is making a tremendous impact on the inmates here at NOCC. Every week that we attend, they are so eager to hear the teachings that are literally changing their lives. I would highly recommend ISW. I certainly believe that it conveys truths that will be instrumental in helping develop all of us"
Pastor Wade Markham "When God chose His messenger to teach Grace, He chose Vic Porter. Vic's message is pure and full of hope, grace, and love. The inmates that are being taught the Curriculum for Life are having their lives transformed and are truly being born again. If you feel like I do, that true ministry is ministering to those that cannot pay you back, then I hope you will support this vital ministry."
Tim Winters, President "Our church, Believers Chapel went through the ISW curriculum and the people were blessed to find out that their identity is directly tied to their self-worth. The liberty that comes from taking this course is hard to explain. Even though we might not be behind bars the revelation of our identity in Christ causes the chains of bondage to be broken and we become free."
Pastor Curtis Torrance "ISW is a real blessing because it scripturally confirms the truths of God's grace in a systematic meaningful fashion. The presence of God dwells in these truths and gives me a sense of empowerment as I confidently rest in my right standing with the Lord. My desire is to see the lost and the saved alike around this country and the world awake to their place of freedom in God's kingdom. That's why I love to invest in this good ground, and I get excited as I pray every day and watch this vital ministry touch and change willing hearts."
Ron and Sue Austin "I believe in the ministry of ISW because it is touching the lives of thousands of men and women in prisons and other facilities in our nation and around the world every day. Some of the testimonies I've read and heard are totally fantastic. God's Word presented thru Pastor Vic's curriculum helps make them see and believe that they are important to God and us. Giving to this ministry is the best soil that we've planted seed into in the last 27 years. We've been sponsors for over three years. I would encourage who ever reads this to sponsor a prison every month, then watch how God blesses your business and family."
Bob Tidwell, President "The ISW curriculum has been a great blessing for the ladies of Oklahoma Victory Transformation Center. They have learned how to release people who have hurt them, and forgive themselves for their role in the transgression as well. The ladies that come to the center stay for 12 months and are required to finish the ISW course; it has become one of the most needed classes in our program. Thank you Pastor Vic for providing this must needed teaching of worth."
For the Harvest,
"In my husband's class one of the inmates said, "I would not miss this class.
It has been my life line through this". In my class with the women several have
said that they want to continue the ISW classes after they leave David L. Moss
and go to a prison. One lady that had a 25-year sentence for second-degree murder
has gone from a very "hard" person to a beautiful woman of God all because of this
curriculum. I've seen sentences reduced from 13 years to 4 years because they
have they have seen who they are in Christ.
Richard and Maria Jones "I saw first hand for myself the results this ISW curriculum has on the lives of inmates when I attended a graduation service at the Tulia Transfer Center in Tulia, TX. It changed my thinking about inmates or anyone who can be changed when they learn about self-worth because of what Jesus did for us. ISW is a good tool for bringing this about. I plan to continue supporting this end-time ministry."
R.L. and Rozena Zybach "Pastor Vic Porte has developed an excellent curriculum that bears almost immediate fruit. It is easily understood. People seem excited to apply the principles in their own lives. Vic's teaching on offences is the best I have ever heard. He also gives specifics on how to "see" God's plan for your life. Our Church, Amazing Grace Church in Fujisawa, Japan hosted Vic for one week as well as being the first international graduation for The Institute of Self-Worth. If you have not yet experienced The Institute of Self-Worth, you are in for a rare treat."
Pastor John Stemmons "I was the first staff member for The Institute of Self-Worth starting in November of 2005. I've been privileged to watch ISW grow from 20 curriculums a month to 95 each month. In April of 2006 I traveled to Tulia, TX to attend a graduation for the Tulia Transfer Center. The inmates didn't know we were coming for the graduation. I was overwhelmed by the response of the inmates. It was like Paul and Timothy had entered the Chapel. This service was one of the best services I've ever been a part of. I know first hand that The Institute of Self-Worth is changing lives all over the world. It's challenging the belief system of its hearers to accept the finished work of Christ and to not rely on their performance. ISW is changing the lives of people all over the world."
Adam Simmons "The Institute of Self-Worth is changing lives around the world. As I work with ISW, placing curriculum in institutions throughout the nation, I hear on a daily basis how men and women need this message of "unconditional love". I thank god for the day I realized that God's Word wasn't about me; it is about Jesus Christ and it's for me. When we truly understand the love of God it is only then that we will become effective for the Kingdom. I was recently ministering the ISW curriculum at the Ozarks Correctional Center and before we prayed I asked if anyone that had a prayer request. A young man raised his hand and said, "my mother is an alcoholic and I have never prayed for her in my life." Truly they are beginning to understand "unconditional love". God truly loves with no strings attached."
David Moore "The Institute of Self-Worth's teaching has caused a transformation in how we see ourselves and has clarified how God sees us. The very basic simple truths identified in this teaching are able to dissipate years of depression and oppressive thinking."
Servants of His "Recently I was watching a movie about inmates in a California penitentiary. The whole movie was very depressing. It was about two men, who had finally been released from prison, but they knew they would be returning because they felt they had been born to be bad. In fact, there was a song a few years ago titled, "Born to be Bad". Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a program that would dispel a common feeling of "born to be bad" within the prison system? Actually, it appears that there is! It's called The Institute of Self-Worth. This program should be taught in schools to help our younger generation realize that they have a worth and value. I'm amazed at how the Lord has His hand on this program."
S. Bruce Hugill, RFC "Twana and I fully support the message of God's grace and mercy particularly as it relates to our identity. I am thankful that I learned this message, which is a cause for celebrating the goodness of God and what was accomplished for mankind through the completed work of Jesus Christ. The Christian life is more about celebrating and having faith in what Christ has done for mankind than it is about what we do or do not do."
Danny and Twana Troutt "Thank you for coming and speaking at our Addiction Ministry graduation here in Booneville, MO. Because of the style in which you present our identity in our self-worth, it was easy for the people to hear and understand and then put into action. This message has had a lasting impact on not only our Addiction Ministry, but our church and the whole community of Booneville. Thank you for being sensitive to the needs of thousands of men and women all over the world and authoring The Institute of Self-Worth."
Carmen Jones "I'm excited to see all the doors opening around the world to use your curriculum. The truths taught in your curriculum are so life changing that when you see it you have to share it with others, so you know for each person who goes through the program will pass it on to several others. You can see the multiplication occurring everywhere. The class has grown at the prison and I hope to run two groups or get a bigger room to meet in."
Don Poole "I'm writing to let you know how ISW is touching the hearts and changing the lives of the ladies at David L. Moss Correctional Facility here in Tulsa, OK. Many of the ladies are realizing for the first time their worth and value is in Christ Jesus. They also believe their lives would have been totally different if they would have known this earlier in their lives. Thanks Vic for listening to the Lord and developing this program. God bless you,"
