September 11 - Australia

• Our potential Indigenous Outreach partners, Peter and Katie, are traveling to the remote Northern Territory to visit Elcho Island this month. Their contact there, Uncle Maratja, is very happy to receive DPM resources for the Indigenous community. (He was a part of the 1979 Elcho Island revival where the Aboriginal people took the fire of God across northern and western Australia. Expressions of that revival continued until the early 1990s.) Pray for God’s blessing and favour on this special outreach.

September 12 - Cambodia

• Two pastors’ seminars will be held, one on September 15 and another in the middle of October in south-west Cambodia. Pray for God’s protection as Huy and the DPM team travel and for God’s anointing as they share the Word of God through Derek’s teaching (Complete Salvation, Applying the Blood, By Grace Alone and The Grace of Yielding).

Outreach Report

• Director Huy and his team made a second trip to a north-east province to hold a pastors’ seminar. The main teaching was from By Grace Alone. Discussion groups gave the pastors more revelation, and even the DPM team saw anew what Jesus did on the cross.  
• Another pastors’ seminar was also held in a north-west province where the number of church leaders attending exceeded their expectations. Topics included Father God, Applying the Blood and By Grace Alone, and they all received books. Everyone was very blessed, loved to learn and fellowship, and didn’t want it to end!

September 13 - Thailand

September 14 - China

The China IT team continues to have the Lord’s protection over the WeChat platform and the websites for mainland China. Praise God. Here are some of the responses we received:

• “I am using Derek Prince WeChat posts to share the Gospel in my hospital. Many patients like them and want to believe in the Lord. Hallelujah.” (a hospital nurse)

Testimony

“The 'Self-Study Bible Course' has been a great blessing for me and my church. This is a wonderful tool for discipleship. We use it to teach in our home groups and for training new believers, and I have come to know the truth of the Bible. Other books by Derek Prince also helped me a lot. Thank you for supporting my ministry; it helps me to go out more often to reach more people for Jesus.”

September 17 - Laos

Our Laos coordinators (from New Zealand) are visiting the very 'closed' nation of Laos in September/October to meet with their contacts and share Derek’s teaching in churches and home groups. They will also publicise the new Lao booklets and proclamation cards and the new Lao-language website.

• Pray for God’s guidance in printing new books and for the funds needed.

Testimony

“I’ve been learning in DPM’s Bible Correspondence School for a year. I look forward to a new term, new assignments and lectures. I organise my calendar and prepare myself and open my heart for revelation. And, of course, I pray before I start to study and ask for God’s guidance. Sometimes I am disturbed because of work, household chores and many other things. But I feel supported and inspired and have a desire to pray through it. The more I seek God and immerse myself in His Word, the tighter our relationship gets. Even when I’m just reading my own notes, I’m filled with joy and longing to fully commit myself to God. I thank God for DPM and all the things you’re doing, your hard work and diligence. God’s Word becomes a firm rock, shield and guard for me more and more. May God bless you.”

September 23 - Ukraine

• Many soldiers and others in the war zone are turning to God. Pray that local churches, volunteers, and chaplains will be ready for this challenge. We have distributed thousands of The Divine Exchange booklets and proclamation cards. We plan to print additional Russian and Ukrainian evangelistic cards with a short explanation of the Gospel and a prayer. These are especially useful for soldiers and people on the move. Pray for every person who gets Derek’s material to come to salvation or be encouraged in their faith.

September 24 - Sri Lanka

• Sri Lanka is going through its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years. Pray for God’s wisdom and provision for our representative, Bishop Prince, at this challenging time as he continues to reach out to churches, believers, and the needy and distributes Derek’s material.

Outreach Report‍

• Praise God for His protection and provision for Coordinator Bishop Prince, DPM–New Zealand Trustee, Alan, and his wife Lynda, and India Directors Elsie and Danny as they travelled through the country recently for two weeks. Elsie advises, “We faced several challenges, but the word God put in our hearts was that our visit was for a breakthrough, and we literally saw miracle after miracle—from our journey in Trichy (India) to Colombo (Sri Lanka), within Sri Lanka where diesel is rationed, and then our trip back into India. Not only that, but we were able to take 126 audio Bibles in Tamil to uneducated believers in Mangani village (India) where many people received them with tears. Derek’s teaching has brought a huge change to this nation, which we witnessed with our own eyes.”

September 25 - India

• Many village pastors that Directors Elsie and Danny work with face great difficulties and opposition due to anti-social elements and religious extremists who try to hinder their work. Pray that Elsie and Danny can continue to minister effectively in this area and share Derek’s teaching.

Testimony

We recently received a testimony from a lady in her late 30s. She had been married many years and had trouble conceiving. However, one of her friends who was in ministry identified a curse on her life and sent her Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose. After reading the book and following Derek's prayer to be set free, she conceived and gave birth to a healthy baby boy!

September 26 - East Africa/Africa

• We thank God for the success of the first African Summit held in August. This was the first gathering of its kind, drawing DPM leaders from nations across Africa. Pray for God's wisdom as we work together to establish the Kingdom and make Derek's teaching more available.

September 27 - South Africa

• Pray for the final editing of the Afrikaans Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose and the Xhosa and Tswana Life-Changing Spiritual Power books, and for successful printing.
• Pray for the editing on Prayers and Proclamations in Northern Sotho/Pedi and Afrikaans and for the translation of Appointment in Jerusalem into Zulu.
• Pray for more radio stations to broadcast Derek’s teaching. We get a very good response from listeners across the country.
• Pray that we will somehow not get behind in our work and projects as we deal with regular power outages, sometimes three times a day for several hours at a time. We are looking at new equipment for our computers/server or a solar system.

Testimony

A single mother contacted us wanting to make a monthly donation, even though she wasn't earning a large salary. She wrote, “I grew up in a Christian home. However, I believed the lie that I could find happiness on my own, that I didn’t need God. I lived this lie for 53 years of my life. On 14 January 2021, my heart was completely gripped by the grace of God. And at that moment, I knew I would never be the same again. My hunger for the Word of God became very evident. We were in the middle of the Covid pandemic, and all churches were closed. So, I started searching for good sermons online and found some, but none fed my soul to satisfaction. I had an overwhelming desire to start helping in my community and to search for a church family. Seven months ago, I found such a church family. And there I was introduced to Derek Prince Ministries’ teaching at the cell group meeting. What I noticed immediately about Derek’s teaching is that it provided practical solutions to many of the issues and questions that were raging through my mind. I downloaded the Derek Prince Ministries app on my phone that night and have not stopped listening to his devotionals and radio broadcasts. Having worked through Derek Prince’s Atonement sermons I have now realised the full impact of what Jesus did for us. I have lived in the dark for so long, but now I can see God’s light starting to shine in my life!”

• Pray for more contacts to be made through our Spanish website, mobile App and other social media platforms.
