Dear Friend,
In these critical times in our region, all of us on the DPM-India team are writing to you with both urgency and faith. We are asking you to stand with us as the enemy wages an all-out battle against the Kingdom of God in India.
This battle is both visible and invisible. Yes, the physical persecution continues—arrests of pastors, disruption of worship services, attacks during Christmas celebrations with groups of believers beaten while singing Christmas carols. We have even seen mobs of fanatics forcing their way into churches, using abusive language to mock the virgin birth of Jesus.
Using Our Spiritual Weaponry
These situations we have described are precisely why the ministry of DPM-India is so vital for our region today. God has entrusted us with the teachings of Derek Prince—clear, scriptural, and powerful truths on spiritual warfare and deliverance.
We utilize such resources as Spiritual Warfare, They Shall Expel Demons, and From Curse to Blessing in direct combat with the spiritual opposition we encounter, including the activities of those under the influence of darkness. Derek’s powerful teachings equip people not only to stand, but to overcome.
Pastors and leaders across India now desperately need these truths—first for their own lives, and then for their congregations.
The Need for Strong Leaders
Another result of the dark spiritual undercurrents is an increasing division in communities along political lines—based on caste, religion, and language. Such divisions often escalate into hatred and violence.
The nation of India stands in desperate need of the love of God, expressed through strong, spiritually equipped leaders. Over the past year, the Lord has opened remarkable doors for us to minister to pastors and leaders all across India—from the northern regions to the southern states, and even to the remote Andaman Islands. By His grace, we have seen discouraged
hearts revived and pervasive fears replaced with great boldness.
One pastor from Central India who had recently been released from prison shared this powerful testimony after attending one of our conferences. “Even after my release, I lived in constant fear—fear to minister, fear for my family, fear that my children would be taken from me. Despite this, I felt led to attend the conference. During the teaching, I experienced a mighty deliverance from the spirit of fear. My heart has been rekindled with boldness. I return—ready to stand firm and continue the work of the Kingdom.” This kind of transformation is only possible through the power of God’s Word.
Training the Next Generation
A key aspect of the work of the DPM-India team involves training the next generation of leaders. A major area of focus is pastors’ kids, many of whom are drifting away from ministry—and even from Christ—due to the financial pressures, criticism, and opposition their parents face as leaders. Those who remain in the faith often feel forced toward a pastoral calling rather than seeking it of their own free will.
One young man who reluctantly attended our training testified:
“I knew the Bible, but the teaching I received at the conference brought me into a depth I had never known—especially the teaching on holiness. I realized that this requirement is a real challenge for me. But I received answers to many of my questions, and I also experienced an unexplainable joy. I came to see that ‘ease in life’ can be a test. Often, that was the point when I drifted away from God. This training changed my perspective and helped me understand God’s purpose for my life.”
Strengthening Pastors
Beyond the work in India, God is also moving powerfully among leaders in Sri Lanka. Our conferences there are helping to unite fractured pastoral communities and bring doctrinal clarity at a time when confusion and false teachings are rampant. A senior Bible teacher recently shared his gratitude for the balance and truth he received, testifying that such teaching is rare and deeply needed in the “all-out battle” spoken of earlier.
In the coming year, we are planning expanded outreach in Andhra Pradesh, Jammu, Kashmir, West Bengal, and other locations. As access to Christian materials becomes increasingly restricted in some regions due to anti-conversion laws, we must act swiftly. We need to strengthen those areas that remain open, ensuring that the lamps continue to burn in the days ahead.
How You Can Partner with Us
The need is great—and so are the resources required to meet that need. We estimate it will take over NZ$90,000 to provide the following services:
• 32 conferences across India
• 12 conferences in Sri Lanka
• Books printed in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Sinhala
• Digital devices for pastors with Derek’s teachings on them
Pastors and Youth Conferences
Your generous contribution of $120 will enable a pastor or a young person to attend a Derek Prince Ministries conference, covering both housing and resources for the attendee. (If you wish to extend your generosity, $1,600 will pay for an entire seminar.)
Books in various dialects
Your gift of $50 will support translation work, printing, and distribution in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Sinhala.
Resources
A donation of $250 will cover the costs of loading and distributing 30 digital devices containing Derek Prince’s teachings. These will be used in ministry by pastors and leaders.
We realize that the price of these resources is daunting. Even so, would you please prayerfully consider partnering with us for some portion of this vital work? Your support of any amount will help equip frontline leaders, strengthen the Church in our region, and push back the forces of darkness.
Thank you in advance for whatever you can provide. May the Lord richly bless you as you sow into His Kingdom in this crucial hour.
With heartfelt gratitude,
