May

Prayer Guide
Join us in prayer throughout the month of May, as we continue to seek God and give thanks for all that He has done.

May 1 - International

  • New doors for outreach continue to open around the world, and new language translations are in progress. Pray for the Lord’s continued favor, blessing, and provision for the ministry. Derek Prince always said that DPM was not his ministry, but God’s ministry, and we believe that He will fulfill His intended purposes through it.

May 2 - Sri Lanka

  • On a recent trip to Sri Lanka, DPM–India Directors Elsie and Danny ministered for three days to young leaders, teaching them on the basics of ministry and identifying their calling. Pray that those who went through this intensive training will go out and reach the young people in their communities and, as they do, be encouraged by their pastors. 

May 3 - India

  • Directors Elsie and Danny plan to hold pastors’ conferences in south India on May 9 and in southwest India in early June. They will be reaching out to a Hindu-dominated, anti-Christian area called Belagavi that has only about 50 churches/pastors. Pray for protection and anointing over them and for unity among the pastors, and that the teaching and resources provided impact them.

May 4 - Australia

  • Our Indigenous partners, Peter and Katie Dunstan, left at the end of March for a journey of over 9000km to Western and South Australia, as well as Queensland. They are carrying Derek’s books and DVDs to give away. Pray for their protection and God’s favor and anointing as they teach and minister in churches and remote Indigenous communities. They will be away until the middle of this month.

May 5 - Nauru

  • Nauru is a tiny island country in Micronesia, northeast of Australia. We praise God for being able to reach the people of this island. Pray for the right person to assist in advertising the new DPM–Nauru website to Nauruans and for many people to visit it and avail themselves of the hundreds of free teaching resources. 

May 6 - Japan

  • A new volunteer translator is beginning work on several of Derek’s teaching messages, ready for subtitling. Pray for God’s protection and anointing upon her.

  • In January, the 100th anniversary of Protestant Christianity in Cambodia was celebrated during the Cambodia Gospel Centennial Celebration in Phnom Penh. There were many activities with over 10,000 attendees gathering nightly. DPM also took part by giving away many books. Pastor Pot Pheap, a YWAM Bible School teacher in Battambang, brought hundreds of students who were excited to receive Derek’s books. Most of the students follow his teaching and share it. Some of the teachers will be using Spiritual Warfare in their curriculum. 

May 10 - Indonesia

When he was on the frontline, which was just five holes in the ground, a mine fell in or near each hole, but none of the mines exploded! Another time, a shell exploded right in front of his face, and he was thrown out of the trench, yet he was not killed. Sadly, the other two soldiers with him died immediately. Doctors removed many fragments from his eyes, yet his vision was not affected. The doctors said it was a miracle! He also said that everyone in the trenches is praying harder and louder; there are no non-believers.

Testimony - United States (Prison Ministry)

"I have been so blessed to be able to read Derek's books. I have been incarcerated since March 2022. I lost absolutely everything, including family. I was ready to give up on my life when I came across a book by Derek called Spiritual Warfare. This book changed my life and my perception of my battle with, not flesh, but principalities. I rededicated my life to the Lord and I'm reading His Word every day and reading Derek's materials, which better help me understand spiritual things." – Jesse, Oklahoma
