An Eager Student of the Word

Thanks to the generous giving of our supporters, during 2009 we were able to print 575,000 copies of Derek’s books for China. However, as 2010 began, we were not resting on our laurels but looking to reach many more of the 1.3 billion Chinese people with these excellent materials. We are again aiming for a target figure of 500,000 books but, if finances permit, we will be delighted to print more!

Brother ‘C’ first heard about Derek Prince’s teaching through his daughter. She passed on to him a copy of ‘Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose’ and Brother ‘C’ found it so helpful that he made a copy for himself.

He wrote to tell us: “I also repented before God, asking Him to please forgive my present and past sins, and asking for Jesus’ release. I prayed twice using verses of the Bible to repent of sins, whether my own sins or those of my ancestors, and to forgive others for their sins against me. After doing these things, my family and I finally found freedom from curses.”

The book was passed on to the local church leaders who read it, discussed it and then prayed with their congregation for freedom from curses. Brother ‘C’ shared: “They led us towards a complete transformation of our lives.”

His letter continued, “Thank you for giving me this teaching. May God bless you, keep you in good health and grant happiness in your home. I also want to thank Jesus and praise Him. All our glory and achievements are from the one true God.”

We soon found out that Brother ‘C’ only had a primary school education and it had taken him more than half a day to write this letter to us. Yet he was determined to express his thanks and also wanted to make a donation towards DPM’s ministry.

Now Brother ‘C’ is also listening to Derek’s teaching on the radio. He is determined to be a “workman God approves” (the title of one of Derek’s radio series) and wrote a second letter listing all the lessons he had learned from the radio programmes before saying, “That is my understanding. If I wrote anything wrong, please write to me and correct me.”

“I am very eager for your teaching,” he concluded and asked if we could send him any more Christian teaching books.

  • Give thanks to God for Christian believers like Brother ‘C’ who are determined to grow in their faith, gain deeper understanding and serve the Lord.

  • Pray that many others would be challenged by Derek Prince’s teaching materials to follow in Brother ‘C’s footsteps and press in ever deeper to the Lord.
