Outreach Reports

• DPM Coordinator Pastor 'D' visited two tribes in Vietnam and distributed Derek’s books to their leaders.

About 15 leaders received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. A few others received healing. One pastor said: "Thank you for praying and humbly teaching us precious lessons on families and discipleship. We desperately needed this for discipling new believers. Many of us did not know how and did not have the tools to help them."

Prison Testimonies - United States

"On behalf of the Chaplain Services of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), I want to thank you for the resources that were donated by DPM this year. Through the materials, we were able to assist those who have expressed a desire to learn and grow in their faith. One of the greatest gifts we can give is God’s Word, and your contribution made this possible.

Please also know how important your donations have been during these challenging times. We have had limited resources since Covid began, and the residents’ main leisure activity has been to read. Again, thank you for your efforts to impact the prison population of this county’s Detention Center Central. You are such an encouragement to them as well as our staff and have greatly assisted us in demonstrating the Spirit of God’s love. I pray that God will bless your staff as well as your donors for making this possible."

– Torya Allen, Chaplain Services Administrative Asst., MCSO, North Carolina
