Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is officially a Buddhist nation, and faces significant persecution among its Christian community, predominantly Catholic, despite constitutional religious freedom. Derek Prince Ministries addresses the lack of Christian resources in Sinhala by providing foundational teaching materials to establish the church in faith and spread the Gospel to the unreached.

Mission and Impact

Sri Lanka continues to face significant challenges following the economic crisis from 2019-2022, which led to severe shortages of food, fuel, and other necessities. Coupled with this, there have been restrictions on freedom of expression, while the Christian community, making up 7.4% of the population, continues to suffer persecution from Buddhists, Hindus, and local governments.

Due to the lack of Bible teaching and the influx of false doctrines, Derek Prince Ministries focuses on bringing Derek’s sound, in-depth Bible-based teaching to the church that urgently needs God’s Word. This mission aims to keep the fire of His Spirit burning among believers.

Reaching out primarily to Christian leaders through conferences and seminars, Derek Prince Ministries equips them with essential resources—books and audio teachings in local languages. This helps their churches grow in Christ-like maturity and encourages them to send out their own people to bring the light of the Gospel into the darkness surrounding their communities. One pastor testified that his church grew to a congregation of 400 by understanding how to expel demons through Derek's teaching, freeing people from demonic bondages and bringing them into the light of freedom in Christ.

        The Journey So Far

        In 2013, Derek Prince Ministries began its outreach in Sri Lanka by hosting a seminar for Christian leaders from various denominations. The teaching of "The Divine Exchange" revealed the rich resources within Derek Prince Ministries that could address the spiritual challenges of demonic bondages and generational curses.

        This initial seminar, prophetically termed a “Luminar,” sparked a series of outreaches that have brought the liberating light of robust biblical teachings to the local populace. To date, over 5,000 pastors and Christian leaders across Sri Lanka have been reached. These efforts have fostered personal spiritual growth and liberation, guiding the Church towards a spiritually mature and blessed future.

        Several of Derek Prince's books have been translated into Sinhalese and Tamil and are distributed freely through these seminars. These resources equip pastors and leaders with the tools to deepen their understanding of spiritual engagement and achieve victory in their ministries. Since 2023, short-term Youth Leadership Training Programs have been conducted by Derek Prince Ministries, aiming to raise the next generation of Christian leaders.
