“While I’ve been faithfully serving the Lord through my church, today I was given an incredible opportunity to go deeper into His Word, uncovering powerful truths I had never known before. As I listened to the message of The Divine Exchange, the Lord placed a deep conviction on my heart: I must walk in true freedom and bring this message to those still bound by sin, sickness, curses, and demonic strongholds. Honestly, it felt like I caught a glimpse of Heaven. My spirit is overflowing with joy and liberty. What a profound blessing it is to be taught the liberating truth of God's Word! So many in this world are still living without it, and nothing the world offers can compare. I leave this conference deeply strengthened and forever grateful. I praise God for this truly transformative experience.”
This powerful testimony comes from Ps. PK, who attended one of the recent DPM conferences held in March 2025 in the hill country region of Sri Lanka. Across five conferences conducted in Kandy, Matale, Kotagala, Nuwara Eliya, and Bandarawela, the DPM team witnessed a renewed hunger among pastors and leaders for the teaching of God’s Word. This was evident in the fact that, despite a heavy downpour on many days, the conference venues were filled to capacity even before the event began.
Over 1,000 pastors and leaders participated in these five gatherings, where nearly 15,000 books were distributed. Sri Lanka has a diverse clergy—some well-educated in theological seminaries, while others have no formal Bible training. The ministry of DPM continues to serve both groups effectively. As one ordained minister testified after Elsie shared a teaching on intercession as part of the priestly ministry through Derek Prince’s “The Rod of God”:
“I've done my master’s in theology but one key I had been missing was an understanding of intercession. You brought clarity on that through the teaching - thank you for that!”
The work of DPM through these conferences is vital for this region, where many pastors and leaders labor in challenging environments with little support. These gatherings provide much-needed strength, encouragement, and fresh revelation. One pastor shared:
“In our culture, it’s customary to compliment the host on the food before leaving the wedding, saying, 'The food was good!' Today, I can confidently say that the spiritual food we received was truly nourishing. Working in the villages often comes with little encouragement, but God sent His servants with His word to uplift, educate, and strengthen us. The realization of the authority we carry has helped us conquer our fears, bringing renewed hope and strengthening our faith. Thank you for the comfort and strength you have imparted!”
The resources distributed through these events become a lifeline long after the conferences end, equipping pastors to teach their congregations and to stand firm in times of personal trial. One testimony from a conference held six years ago still speaks volumes today:
“Six years ago, I attended a DPM conference and received a copy of ‘The Divine Exchange’ book. Not long after, I was hospitalized with multiple blockages and a severe heart condition. The doctors told me I needed immediate surgery. But I remembered the truth I had read in that book—and I held on to it. I kept declaring, ‘By the wounds of Jesus, I have been healed.’ Just before surgery, the doctors ran one final round of tests… and to their surprise, I didn’t need the surgery anymore! They put me on medication, and I continued to speak healing over my body. Today, I’m completely healed and whole.”
The impact of DPM's ministry in the hill country of Sri Lanka continues to be profound and far-reaching. These conferences are not just events—they are encounters with the truth of God's Word that bring lasting transformation. As testimonies continue to pour in, we are reminded that God's Word, faithfully taught and received, has the power to heal, equip, and strengthen His people. We praise God for the doors He has opened and for the many lives being touched, both now and for years to come.
