Myanmar
Since 1999 Ps. Jacob has been organising the translation, printing and distribution of Derek’s books in Burmese, the majority language of this country. In this short space of time, 25 of Derek’s books have been translated and printed. Most of the Pastors in Myanmar are very poor and unable to afford to purchase books, even when books are available. During 2006 we distributed over 17,000 copies of Derek’s books and out of these, over 6,000 books were given to Pastors and leaders at conferences and seminars. We also saw dramatic growth in our distribution of Derek’s books in 2006 and the teaching contained in them is helping to shape the spiritual lives of Pastors and believers all over Myanmar. A number of Pastors now use the teaching in them as the basis for their Sunday sermons. Most Pastors and leaders in Myanmar are very poor and would not normally be able to afford to buy books, so these free books have been a great blessing to them. One Pastor from a remote area said that Derek’s books are like an ‘Oasis in the Desert’. We are greatly excited and encouraged to see the hunger many have to read Derek’s books regardless of denomination and we have regular customers from all Christian denominations. The Graduate Gift Pack Programme was introduced in 2005; graduates have no other resources. There are 150 Bible Schools in the city, with a total of 200 in the nation. Since 2005, 2,000 graduate gift packs have been given each year to graduates. About 4,500 students are being trained at present. |

Indonesia
Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation in the world with a population of 242 million, and it is the desire of our hearts to see God’s transforming Word go out to as many people as possible to bring understanding about eternal life, and also to bring more revelation and maturity to the Body of Christ. 33 of Derek’s book have now been translated and published in the Bahasa language, with over 126,000 copies printed. This year we began recording Derek’s radio programme into Bahasa, with Billy Tanasale as Derek’s ‘voice’ in Bahasa. To date we have 25 recorded KTSL programmes. Six radio stations in Indonesia are currently broadcasting Derek’s Bahasa programme (two new radio stations are now broadcasting the programme - one is located at Bandung (the capital of West Java and a large Muslim city) and the other at Maluku in the north). We would like to see 10 radio stations broadcasting these programmes this year. We also plan to place Derek’s radio programmes onto CD, and in 2008 we will have 50 KTSL CDs for marketing. |

Malaysia
Since the office was formed in 2002, we have sold over 31,000 books and distributed over 3,000 free of charge to Pastors and Christian leaders all over Malaysia. Our purpose is to assist these leaders in achieving a better insight into the Word of God through Derek’s practical and simple teaching. We are very encouraged to see some visible fruit from this book distribution. Along with free books, CDs and Teaching Letters are being sent to rural areas and we are having a good response from these direct mailings with encouraging testimonies received. We are also printing 1,000 copies of Foundations for Life in the Bahasa language which Director, Liman Wong, will take to Pastors in East Malaysia. We also have a real desire to reach out to prisoners in this nation and we are distributing free copies of our Proclamation Cards and one book per prisoner, such as Extravagant Love and Complete Salvation. Our Proclamation Cards remain popular and Divine Exchange is often used during communion. They are also used as evangelistic and language tools. |

India
We have now had over 10 years of translating, publishing and distributing Derek’s books to hundreds of thousands of needy Pastors, leaders, believers and Bible College Graduates in India. Since 1997 our DPM-India Office in Trichy and distributor in Delhi have printed over 800,000 English books, and 1.2 million books in 10 different Indian languages. One of our most significant ministries since 2002 has been to supply over 48,000 Bible College Graduates with a gift pack of Derek’s books at their graduation services. During 2007 we provided over 8,500 Bible College graduates, missionaries and evangelists with gift packs of Derek’s books in their own language. This ‘feast of Bible teaching’ will equip them so the can go out amongst their own people and bring them the Word of God. We are now supplying free copies of Derek’s major teachings on DVD to Bible Colleges, Seminaries, Universities and Pastors. Last year we supplied 100 colleges with up to 60 different Derek Prince teachings in English on either DVD or VCD. Around 18,000 students benefited from this project. With about 60 DVD messages it means that Derek could be teaching in Bible schools in India every week day for almost three months.

Pakistan
Since 1997 Pakistan Directors, James and Elizabeth, have been faithfully building the Body of Christ in their nation with Derek’s books. In the last eight years DPM has become the second largest Christian publisher in Pakistan, with Derek’s books well-known and read by thousands. 29 DP books have been translated and printed in the national language of Urdu and given freely to over 1,000 Pastors on the DPM-Pakistan mailing list. These Pastors also receive The Teaching Letters of Derek Prince every two months. These publications are vital for equipping local leaders with the necessary material in order to teach and equip the Body of Christ in this Muslim nation.

Since then, thousands of Pastors and leaders all across Nepal have received free copies of 51 of Derek’s books and regularly use his teaching in their church services. In total, over 300,000 of Derek’s books in Nepali have been either given away or sold at nominal prices to many Nepali believers who now live and work in Nepal, India, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Korea. The name Derek Prince is now known by every Christian in Nepal and his life-changing books have become spiritual manuals for many believers. |

China
The outreach of DPM into China began in 1984. Ross Paterson, a fluent Mandarin speaker who had worked in Taiwan for 10 years, believed God told him to “take Derek Prince’s teaching to China”. Ross approached Derek, who readily gave his permission and his blessing. Today the office is based in Singapore.
Ross negotiated with the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) in Hong Kong to broadcast a daily 15-minute Mandarin radio programme into China. The English radio programme "Today with Derek Prince" was translated into Chinese and given the title "Living Sacrifice". To make the teaching more acceptable to the Chinese (then still highly suspicious of foreigners) Derek was given the name Ye Guang-Ming, meaning Clear Light. Living Sacrifice was also translated into Cantonese and other Chinese minority languages. The programme ran for two years, and became so popular in China that the radio listeners requested more. A four-year programme (edited from Derek’s audiocassette teachings) called "The Workman God Approves" followed. Mongolian radio broadcasts commenced in 1987 based on the translated Foundation Series text. Other materials have also been used since then such as “Today with Derek Prince”. DPM-China has now been broadcasting Derek’s teaching into China for over twenty years and the programmes are also available on their website.
A major project was launched in 1995 to print and distribute one million copies of the "Foundation Series" in Chinese by the year 2000. With God’s help, that goal was reached in late 1999. By the end of 2005, about 4.5 million copies of other Derek Prince titles were printed. During 2007 the main focus was on the “Focus on Foundations” pack, which included Foundation Series, Self-Study Bible Course and Faith to Live By. By the end of October 2007 around 470,000 copies of the pack were printed and distributed to various Chinese church networks.
In addition to requesting books, Chinese believers and pastors are also asking
for audio teachings and are downloading Bible study materials from our Chinese
website. The site, www.ygmweb.org also gets about 1,000 hits every day from Chinese believers and seekers who visit the website to download Derek’s Bible teaching messages in MP3 audio.
Responding to requests for Derek’s teaching on CD and VCD, 50,000 audio and video CDs are produced each month and they hope to produce Derek’s teaching on DVD very soon.

Russia
The outreach to the republics of the former Soviet Union continues to grow under the new leadership of Paul who with his team are doing a great job expanding the work of DPMs outreach offices in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and many other languages of the former Soviet Union. Derek’s teaching is reaching men and women in this region and the Baltic States through the Russian Correspondence Bible School which currently enrols over 2,000 students, including many prisoners.
Derek’s Russian radio programme, Derek Prince Interpretiruet Biblia, which first aired in 1986, has also touched many lives. In 1995, Derek’s Russian teachings aired for 13 weeks over 40 Russian television stations in the CIS, reaching millions of people. Derek’s materials are available in Russian, Kazakh and Ukrainian.

South Africa
DPM-South Africa is responsible for all the countries south of Zambia, namely Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland and Kenya, the most recent addition. There is some overlap as French DVD’s are given to Missionary Exposure Training pastors from Congo and DRC who come to Pretoria for training.
Derek’s programmes are currently broadcast on God TV. Four new satellite TV stations have approached DPM-SA for broadcast material, namely Love World, Channel G, Adonai and Manna. Coverage is for Africa, Europe, Middle and Far East, Australia, USA and Canada and South America
DPM-SA currently broadcast on 14 radio stations in five countries in Southern Africa, with 24-hour radio broadcasts via the satellite and internet since 1995. Impact Radio www.impact-radio.co.za and TWR (Trans World Radio) broadcast on satellite. Derek’s programmes are also now broadcast on FEBA Radio in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The CD and DVD library has now been launched and the first eight of the 42 new DVD and CD album titles with new covers have now been released.
The voice dubbing of Derek’s Foundational teaching is proceeding and 10 hours of teaching have just been voice dubbed into Swahili for East and Central Africa. It is hoped that the 14 languages which have been voice dubbed will be used on radio, TV and in Bible Colleges.
Bible Colleges in South Africa are training students from countries in Africa making it easier for the office to get Derek’s Graduate Gift Packs to them to take back to their countries. Bible College libraries are receiving packs of books or Foundational DVD’s in the relevant languages. The Graduate Gift Packs are being prepared and sent to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Malawi and SA. The first Swahili DVD’s for graduates from Tanzania, Bemba DVD’s for Zambia and Shona DVD’s for Zimbabwe have been given to graduates who will be taking them back to their countries.
