Greetings in Jesus Name.

This past quarter has been a remarkably busy with so much happening with all the new developments in Derek Prince Ministries Internationally.  
South Africans have just had the National and Provincial Elections.  We sent out a letter and prayer that Derek compiled for a previous election. We made free material available relevant to the elections. See further comments in the testimony section of this letter.  A 90yr DPMSA supporter and his daughter set up a WhatsApp group to pray for the elections.  There are 150 people on the group who were fasting and praying pre-election and will continue while the new government members are elected and installed.

  • NEW DPM Worldwide Ladies WhatsApp group that meets once a month via google/team to encourage and pray for each other.  
  • New Africa Call meeting once a week for the DPM national and outreach offices in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria/Ghana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, South Africa with Peter Lindop the Africa Director and Elaine Andrianatos (SA. Living in UK) assistant to Peter. Involved on the Arcon team (archiving all of Derek’s teaching material), assisting with the Online courses and meetings, Wikipedia capturing as much of Derek’s teaching historical and current events and content worldwide.  Working with the Connect Team with future developments in the digital field.

I decided to include some of the testimonies and what to pray for this time in the newsletter.

Testimonies

South Africa is 3rd in the number of people watching YouTube, 100,000hours per month.
We thank the Lord for all the SA and other African countries people who are watching Derek on YouTube and enjoying the cell phone App with 5 years of Legacy Radio Broadcasts, 2 and 3min devotions and the Foundation 10hour series.

A lady came to buy the next Foundations New A4 Study Guide in the series.  She is part of a group of ladies from various churches meeting once a week.  I asked her to send testimonies of what the study books are doing.  She immediately told me about 2 ladies who had worked through the Baptism study book and asked to be baptized in water.  The lady immediately baptized them.

A lady from Knysna a beautiful place to live on the Eastern Cape Coast visited the office. Her daughter in Pretoria has been getting teaching and watching on YouTube.  The mother remarked at how her and her husband have been watching Derek on YouTube in Knysna. She said she loves the way Derek teaches straight to the point and is so solid in his teaching.  We gave her some free Afrikaans outreach books and Why Israel and Our Debt to Israel.  She was thrilled to know there is a mobile app where she can get 5 years of Legacy Radio Broadcasts and 2 and 3min devotions, one with drone coverage of Israel.

We managed to send 2 Mega Voice players to Sheila at DPM Zimbabwe, a lady who works once a week in the DPMSA office kindly took them, Wendy is from Zimbabwe.  We are planning on printing the Shona and Tonga books here in SA as getting them from country to country is quite a mission.

Jennette who does DPMSA finances from home in Struisbaai, next to Cape Agulhas on the most southerly tip of Africa, met a Zimbabwean man, her husband was involved with through his work. The Zimbabwean man was very interested in Derek's teaching.  We hope we can get the Shona books for him as he was returning to Cape Town.  We will be printing the books in SA for the Zimbabweans living in SA.   The books are available in Shona and Tonga from Sheila in our DPM Zimbabwe office in Harare.

A generous donor has made it possible to have 6 each of the DVD titles of the Video Bible School translated, subtitled and voiced into Zulu and Xhosa.

Albert and Elaine Chipps attended the recent Messianic Testimony SA Annual conference in Cape Town.  We were able to bless Leigh Tilli with the ‘Israel Declaration Cards”: Praying for Israel, Peace, Comfort, Salvation, Return of Israel and Watchmen on the Walls, And other Israel related books, CDs DVDS.   Leigh Telli expressed her gratitude for the material we sent to bless those who attended the conference.  It was a very blessed morning with worship, dancing and rejoicing.  Manfred from Emet Ministries in Pretoria was one of the speakers. Pastor Manfred is a strong promoter of Derek Prince teaching.

Albert writes: “We had an awesome day at Church on the Rise! Very excited to see a DPM desk there and to hear a speaker say, “Derek Prince is the best teacher you can have”. (Ps Manfred Nochomowitz comment). God has been meeting with me daily and revealing stuff to me.  God is good.”

A thank you was received from Leigh with a selection of her beautiful cards.  Leigh is an artist. Albert and Elaine have both been challenged in the past few years with their health and both have come through the attack. Albert retired as an electrician from the Communication Cable Ships and being working at sea for the past 45years.  Albert has been one of the most serious students of Derek’s teaching. Studying and capturing word for word what Derek has taught through Roman’s and Hebrews and other teachings. He had a Bible Study and prayer group on the ship for his fellow shipmates. He survived a near death experience at sea and has written a book “From Darkness to Light” his biography. If anyone would like to purchase this incredible biography email: achipps@gmail.com  
Albert dedicates a chapter of the book to the impact Derek Prince had in his life. He may have been dead if he had not had Derek’s teaching. 

A couple in Port Elizabeth will be traveling to Namibia at the end of July to visit Udo Wahl in Namibia who has 12 Bible schools 10 in Namibia and 1each in Angola and Zambia.  They will be able to take Derek's Portuguese material that we will be able to get to the Angolan leaders of the Bible Schools and ministry bases in Angola.  We will send English and some Afrikaans books as well.   USB and SD cards and the Mega Voice Solar Players with 400hours of Derek’s teaching to their Bible Schools.
Udo's message: "Our work is going on fine and we have +/- 135 students in training. In Angola we're busy in the border town Santa Clara and hope to open another branch in Lubango in the future".

One of our supporters in Pretoria has been doing friendship evangelism with a lady who owns a shop in a mall.  The lady is Russian, and her husband is Jewish. 

Russian Self Study Bible Course

We were able to print the Russian Self Study Bible Course and will do some other titles.  We had a Hebrew copy of Appointment in Jerusalem and Pages from my life's books to give her husband.  

We thank the Lord for new people who have contacted either via email or phone calls or visited the shop.  They are overwhelmed when they see all the resources that are available.
We thank the generous donors and prayer supporters who have made all this possible.  We thank the Lord that we have the privilege of having all of this incredible legacy of Derek's teaching to share with others.  We give the Lord all the Glory.
