Dear Friends,
Warm greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
IMPACTING MANY THOUSANDS IN INDIA
As we look back over the past months, our hearts are filled with gratitude to God—and to you. Every conference held, every pastor equipped, every book placed into the hands of a hungry believer, and every life transformed has been possible because faithful friends like you have chosen to stand with Derek Prince Ministries India.
Many of the places we serve are far removed from the large cities of India. They are regions where pastors often labour in isolation, with little access to sound biblical teaching or quality Christian resources. Yet these are precisely the places where the Lord continues to open remarkable doors.
During recent ministry journeys across India and Sri Lanka, thousands of pastors and church leaders gathered to receive biblical teaching based on the ministry of Derek Prince. In Northern Sri Lanka alone, more than 1,260 pastors and leaders attended our conferences, and over 23,000 biblical resources were distributed. Across India, conferences in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra and the Andaman Islands have equipped thousands more with Derek’s teaching of God's Word.
What continues to encourage us is that these are not merely meetings—they are investments into generations. Many of these pastors oversee numerous village churches. Others train young leaders who will one day shepherd congregations of their own. Every Derek Prince book they receive is read repeatedly, shared with fellow workers, and often becomes part of Bible college training. The impact extends far beyond the individual who first receives it.
For almost 30 years, the Lord has enabled Derek Prince Ministries India to print and distribute well over 2.5 million books and teaching resources throughout India and neighbouring nations. Since 2003 more than 150,000 Bible college graduates have each received several Derek Prince books through our Graduate Gift Pack programme, equipping them before they begin ministry.
This work has never been about numbers alone. Behind every statistic is:
- A pastor strengthened to stand for biblical truth.
- A church established on a solid foundation.
- A family restored.
- A believer set free through the teaching of God's Word.
In many regions of India today, biblical Christianity faces increasing pressure. Some pastors minister with very limited resources. Others encounter opposition simply for faithfully preaching the Scriptures. Yet their hunger for God's Word has never diminished. In fact, it continues to grow.
That is why our commitment remains unchanged. As long as God opens doors, we want to continue walking through them.
The opportunities before us are greater than ever. Invitations continue to arrive from new states and regions where pastors are asking for Bible teaching conferences, leadership training, and Derek Prince resources. We regularly face the difficult reality that the need exceeds the funds currently available.
Our greatest limitation is not opportunity—it is capacity.
Every gift entrusted to this ministry enables us to print more books, conduct more pastors' conferences, train more young leaders, and reach more churches with biblical teaching that continues to bear fruit for years to come.
Your partnership has become an important part of this ministry. Though separated by thousands of kilometres, you have helped place God's Word into villages you may never visit and strengthened pastors you may never meet this side of eternity.
The Apostle Paul wrote, "I thank my God in all my remembrance of you... because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." (Philippians 1:3–5)
That is exactly how we feel.
Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for believing that God's Word changes lives.
Thank you for helping us equip those who are carrying the Gospel into some of the most challenging parts of India and Sri Lanka.
Would you please prayerfully consider making a special gift to Derek Prince Ministries India at this time? Your generosity will help us continue printing Bible teaching, conducting pastors' conferences, training emerging leaders, and responding to the many invitations that continue to come from across the whole nation. Together we can ensure that pastors who hunger for God's Word are not turned away because of limited resources.
Thank you for your faithful prayers, encouragement and financial partnership. We count it a privilege to serve alongside you in extending God's Kingdom.
May the Lord richly bless you as you continue to invest in work that will bear fruit for eternity.

CELEBRATING IN NEPAL
From small beginnings in 1996 with just two titles translated, we are excited to celebrate 30 years of Derek Prince Ministries in Nepal.
Ps. Gopaljee Adhikari has very ably led the ministry since its beginning and has overseen the translation of 95 Derek Prince book titles into Nepali. We are excited to advise that one million Derek Prince books have now been published and distributed across Nepal!!
As a DPM partner you have also played a vital role in helping us to reach this milestone and for this we thank you on behalf of the growing church in Nepal. Ps. Gopaljee has told us that the name Derek Prince is known in almost all Christian homes across Nepal and countless thousands have read his books.
Much has been accomplished over the past 30 years, but we recognize the need to keep pushing forward. We are currently reprinting 13 titles, for a total of 45,000 books and plan to print at least 27,000 more this year as funds allow. These books will also be distributed across Nepal to pastors, Christian leaders and Bible school students who will not only benefit greatly from them, but will use them to teach and disciple many believers. We invite you to join us in giving thanks and praise to the Lord for all He has enabled us to accomplish in Nepal – so far!
Many thanks for partnering with us,
Warren Smith
