History

It all began in 1971 when Derek Prince officially opened an office in the garage of his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Originally known as Derek Prince Publications, it was the fruit of Derek's flourishing Bible teaching ministry which was seeded in 1944 when the Lord said to him:

“You are called to be a teacher of the Scriptures, in truth and faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus - for many.”

These words fuelled Derek's efforts to feed the spiritually hungry, inspiring him to pen and self-publish a range of books including the "Self-Study Bible Course" (1969), "Liberating Truth" (1966), "Repent and Believe" (1966) and more. A testament to the success of these titles and faithfulness of God, Derek Prince Publications grew with ever-increasing demand.

By 1972, production had exceeded Derek's capacity as sole employee and David Selby (his son-in-law) was invited to help. Together, they charted a path for the burgeoning ministry, engaging broadcast radio and publishing new books.

Foreign offices were opened in New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands throughout the 1980s, and dreams to disciple nations solidified. By the end of the decade, Derek had completed three round-the-world Bible teaching tours, and his radio programme was widely broadcast across six continents and ten languages.

In 1990, Derek Prince Publications was officially renamed Derek Prince Ministries. The distribution of free Bible teaching material had intensified, numbering 140 countries in all, and Derek's books were now available in more than 50 languages.

Today, Derek Prince Ministries has offices in over 45 countries across the globe and remains wholeheartedly committed to teaching the Bible in every nation, culture and tongue. The growth and success of the ministry verifies the prophetic word Derek received in 1941, when the Lord said:

“It shall be like a little stream. The stream shall become a river. The river shall become a great river. The great river shall become a sea. The sea shall become a mighty ocean, and it shall be through thee; But how, thou must not know, thou canst not know, thou shalt not know.”

It has been God’s faithfulness to this Word that has brought Derek Prince Ministries to where it is today and will continue to bring the ministry into the "mighty ocean".

Equipped with a vast archive of written, audio, and visual material of Derek Prince, the ministry continues to publish new books. To date, over 100 books have been published and translated into more than 100 languages.

What We Believe

Statement of faith.

God is the one true and living God existing eternally as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and that He is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, unchangeable in His love, mercy, power, wisdom and righteousness.¹
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God; that He became incarnate through His virgin birth; that He is perfect both in His deity and humanity; that He willingly gave His life as the perfect and all-sufficient substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of man; that through His atonement man can know freedom from the penalty, guilt and effects of sin; that He arose from the dead in His physical, glorified body with which He is now seated in Heaven, making intercession for believers; and that He is coming again in His glorified body to establish His kingdom.²
The Holy Spirit is equal in every attribute of deity with God the Father and with God the Son; performs the miracle of the new birth in those receiving Christ as Savior and is resident now in believers; seals them unto the day of redemption; empowers them for service; and grants gifts of grace (charismatic gifts) for the building up of the body of Christ.³
Truth is absolute and objective. Redemptive truth is set forth in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which is God’s written revelation to man, verbally inspired and inerrant in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.⁴
The Church is the united body of Christ on the earth which exists for fellowship, edification, and for communicating the gospel to all nations by means of Christian life and witness.⁵
Man was created in the image of God, but through Adam’s sin became alienated from God and is condemned to eternal punishment. The only remedy for man’s condition is salvation by personal faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ.⁶
Finite supernatural personal beings exist, including unfallen angels, fallen angels and demons. Satan, the leader of fallen angels, is the open and declared enemy of God and man, and is doomed to the Lake of Fire.⁷
There will be a bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to eternal life, and they that are lost to eternal damnation.⁸
