Greetings for the New Year.
We know we are one day nearer to Jesus’ return. Christmas and New Year was a busy time of visiting family and friends, and some were on holiday enjoying God’s awesome creation. We trust you were all blessed.
We remembered how Jesus humbled himself, gave up heaven to come to earth because he LOVED us and wanted a family to be with Him forever. In 2025 I was made aware how that this is not our home we are just passing through. I had 8 friends and family go on to be with the Lord or as Derek said Gone Home. My sister-in-law in Sept after a long 8yr illness and my eldest brother 15th December 2025 others were close friends of the ministry some over 30year friendship. I thank the Lord that all of them were born again and knew and loved the Lord.
The office reopened the 1st week in January for our annual stock take and special office archiving and cleaning. We were getting requests for Derek’s teaching and radio message even during the holidays. Many are listening on Impact Radio 103Fm at 5:45am every morning they won’t miss a program. Now when they contact the ministry to request the program we can tell them all 5 years of programs are on their cell phone app free. I heard from one of our supporters that Derek is now heard at 9:30 pm every evening.
We take this opportunity to thank Impact Radio for their support. They did mention Derek’s programs are one of the ones people do not want to miss. If you are in the Pretoria area do let them know how much you appreciate the broadcasts and now the additional 9:30pm broadcast. We thank those who have been faithfully giving towards Impact radio broadcasts. We receive many requests for Derek’s teaching and for further teaching. We do broadcast on Oasis Radio in Jeffreys’ Bay and CCFM Fish Hoek and Radio Pulpit nationwide. If you know of any radio station who would like to air Derek’s teaching let me know. We can supply them all the radio messages. When you have the app installed on your phone share the messages with family, friends, church, Bible School, work colleagues.
Pastor Hampie Stemmet
Pastor Hampie Stemmet has been busy as well. A group of 5 men felt led not knowing why they had to go and stand on the roadside between Calitzdorp and Ladismith Cape. On his trip in September, Ps. Hampie felt led to turn off when he saw a signboard “Melanesian” he found these 5 men on the roadside. They were 4 pastors and an elder. He was able to minister to them and give them Afrikaans Bibles and Derek’s Books.
• 78 Bibles
• 12 Blue books (The Foundation 800-page Discipleship teaching.)
• 19 Self Study Bible Course books
• 17 Oorwinning Deur die Vader compendium of 5 books.

Since September he has been receiving almost daily WhatsApp messages from the two pastors who have a phone. Reports of people coming to the Lord and needing Bibles and the Self Study Bible Course by Derek. Pastor Hampie saves up to buy the Afrikaans Bibles and when he has enough, he makes the trips. He has travelled almost 50,000km through the Cape for 6-8 weeks at a time. His truck, caravan and dog. Stopping at Caravan parks, setting up, and breaking up camp etc. He turned 80 on his trip in September.

There was a problem of where to send the parcel of more Bibles and Derek’s books. They are between Calitzdorp and Ladismith Cape. A miracle, they found a petrol station with a Pudo service so he can send Bibles and Derek’s books via Pudo. We will make up a box of the Afrikaans books especially Foundations teaching and Self Study Bible Course.

Stephanus van Deventer at Garies West Cape Coast
Stephanus has been accompanying his wife on her medical round in the Namaqualand district. He has been ministering to 2-300 school children. A Bible Study Adult group was started in Garies using Derek’s Afrikaans Foundations and other material. We gave him the MegaVoice player for 400 hours of Derek’s teaching and added the Afrikaans Foundation CDS. Another group has been established near Hondeklip Baai with 15 farmers who asked Stephanus to lead the group.
There is a lot of coloured people living in the area who he gave Bibles and clothes too they know him from previous visits to the area so came to greet him. Ps. Hampie met with our friends Stephanus and his wife who is a doctor in the beautiful flower area of Namaqualand. They are doing outreach in that region.
Testimony
Hi Isabel, Thank you so much for the delightful conversation this morning. I almost got emotional hearing your excitement to spread the Word of God—it is truly inspiring! I am incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity of Isabel and Derek Prince Ministries, who have sent us spiritual resources for both adults and children in our area of Namaqualand. These resources have been a divine gift, opening doors to life-changing conversations and sparking Bible studies in some of the most remote places. Through these materials, God has been touching hearts and transforming lives daily. People who once felt isolated in their faith are now gathering, studying His Word, and growing spiritually. As part of this mission, we are currently sharing the Word with around 300 primary school learners, planting seeds of faith in young hearts and witnessing God’s truth take root in their lives.
I truly believe that these resources were sent by the Father through Isabel and Derek Prince Ministries, and I am in awe of how He is working in our community. This has been a testimony of His provision, His love, and His perfect timing. All glory to God for the lives being changed in Namaqualand! We are extremely grateful for the blessings you continue to send for the people. One thing I forgot to mention is that any resources you have regarding addiction in Afrikaans would be incredibly helpful moving forward. Addiction is our number one challenge in these communities, and we would deeply appreciate any material that could assist us in addressing this issue. Additionally, please pray into this area—especially for the children, as many are getting drawn in at a very young age. You truly are a blessing to us.
With gratitude, Stephanus & Franette van Deventer
Pastor Stemmet met with Sandra and her husband in Piketberg who have been reaching out to migrant labourers for many years. They have used Derek’s teaching. Ps Hampie was able to give them 4 Mega voice players and Dereks books and Bibles. These are people who have supported the ministry for many faithful years.
Pastor Ncube Eshowe Reaching Out To The Prisons In Kwa Zulu Natal
We sent 100 Zulu and 50 English Bible Study Courses for a prison in KZN. He has another prison with 2000 inmates and another with 10,000 inmates. 5 Libraries at this prison. The need is enormous!! We are trusting the Lord to be able to send the Self Study Bible Study in Zulu and English because we have seen how it impacted a prison in a prison in Pietermaritzburg years ago.

Derek Prince Ministries Online Course Student
Thank you very much for your message. It is very encouraging. I bumped across Derek Prince searching on internet some 2016. What I enjoy about him is that he is very simply and practical whilst delivering very deep matters of the principle. I have therefore accumulated so much of his material and never stop going through these over and over. The book by Derek on Blessing or Curse is very important to me. I sent the related Derek's video on Blessings or Curses to a family member, and they were very thrilled and touched. For the first time their eyes were opened. They managed to analyse their family tree and picked very deep spiritual problems. I am glad that the Holy Spirit helped by removing the spirit of blindness and now they see the truth. For this reason, I want to sponsor 10 books on Blessings or Curses and 10 on They Shall Expel Demons to anybody of your choice. the two books are companions for hitting the mark. This is because of the importance of the upcoming course by Derek Prince. It is my way of funding the Ministry of Jesus and destroying the works of evil. Derek Prince Ministry is therefore my partner.
Dear Jennette,
I am sending you the funds for the following:
10 sets of the two books are for donation.
5 sets of the two books please send to me.
May Yehovah bless you all.

Dear online student,
Greetings and blessing to you and your family in 2026.
I trust that the online course on Why Israel has been a blessing to you. Do pass what you have learnt onto your family and friends. They must also get to know this exciting teaching for these end times. I received the list of the students, but they did not give me your actual location, town or city. If you would be so kind as to furnish me with this information. We like to know where you situated. Sometimes we can link those who are looking for others who are using Derek's teaching. It also helps us to see across the country where Derek's teaching is being applied. Do send me your testimony of how you first heard about Derek Prince and what his teaching has meant to you. I would like permission to share this in my newsletter and on the News on our website. Testimonies are so powerful and people are so encouraged to know Derek's teaching is still impacting. lives through Derek Prince Ministries SA they decide to support the ongoing distribution of Derek's teaching. We cover 11 countries from here who all have their own website and have produced the DVD Foundation teaching in 13 languages so they will each have their own language website. The Tshwane Life's Changing Spiritual Power compendium book with 6 of Derek book titles had its 1st print just before Christmas. Ina is working on the Xhosa which should be completed in the next few months. If you are not receiving our quarterly mailing, please let me know we can add you to the mailing list. Do check out where to find Derek on the Derek Prince App on playstore and there are lots of Derek's teaching on YouTube see the list attached. Ina uploads a Sunday service every week with Derek's teaching, notes, worship song and declaration. On the website under NEWS, you will find some of the previous Sunday services. and lots of exiting testimonies and events.
Blessings

Re: Derek Prince Ministries Online Course Student
I live in KwaZulu-Natal south of Durban Umkomaas (Magabheni Township) In 2018 I downloaded a small book about the Holy Spirit and at the end of it there were videos by Derek Prince, they directed me to YouTube since then I have been downloading a lot of his teachings, and I have grown spiritually through them. The course I did late last year was an eye opener (Why Israel)
Re: Derek Prince Ministries Online Course Student
Good day I stay in Bloemfontein in the Free State. I first came across Derik Prince on Radio Trans World Radio Africa- answering Biblical questions randomly from people but was hard to follow because of the radio waves in the early 80’s. I was introduced to radio Pulpit and then I encountered him there and since then I’ve been listening to his eye-opening teachings— clearing misinterpretations from other teachers. Wow!! I thank God for him. Then recently with technology encountered his podcasts on YouTube and the current bible courses I’m taking. I’m so grateful for continuing to share his work. God bless you. Regards
Re: Derek Prince Ministries Online Course Student
Hi. I am based in Coligny. Northwest. Following Derek Prince teachings many years. Did some other courses as well. Such a humble man and learned a lot from his teachings especially on delivery. Maybe you should also include an extensive course on this subject. Greetings. Linda

400 hours of Derek’s Audio teaching.
We add the Audio Foundations in African languages and French or Portuguese
Dear Sir/ Madam
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for giving me a Mega Voice Player from Dereck Prince Ministries and this was 18 July 2023. The Mega Voice Player is still playing, and God has been gracious to me helping me to look after the Mega Voice Player very well. Heartfelt appreciated.
My favorite sermons from the Mega Voice Player are as follows: what God's word will do for you, how to build successful relationships, how to know God's plan for your life just to mention a few. I really want to thank Dereck Prince Ministries for this wonderful blessing because my relationship with God is getting better and better each day by listening to the Mega Voice Player almost every day.
I would also want you to know that because of God's amazing grace l am running a chicken project and right now l have got two hundred chicken broilers and my prayer is to see the project growing and finding some people who are willing to promote my project in any way. These are my photos and photos of the project and l kindly ask you to pray for my family as well as the project.
Yours sincerely
Douglas
