Mission and Impact

Azerbaijan isn’t an easy place to be a Christian. It’s a land with deep spiritual roots but also heavy challenges—centuries of Islamic tradition, the scars of atheistic Communism, and the remnants of ancient paganism. Believers here are few, and they often face isolation, misunderstanding, and sometimes outright hostility. Sharing their faith openly can feel like walking a tightrope.

That’s why the work of Derek Prince Ministries matters so much. We’re not just giving people books; we’re offering tools for survival—spiritual weapons to strengthen their faith and help them stand firm in a tough environment. Resources like Derek's 'Prayers and Proclamations', translated into Azerbaijani, have become anchors for these believers, reminding them of the power of God’s Word and His promises that never fail.

It’s not glamorous work, and it’s certainly not easy. But it’s about sowing seeds of truth that carry eternal significance, building up a harvest of faith and righteousness that no power of darkness can overthrow. Every small step we take together—every prayer, every act of generosity—is part of God’s plan to raise up His people and advance His Kingdom in a land that desperately needs His light.

        The Journey So Far

        Our work in Azerbaijan didn’t start big. In fact, it started small—just a few seeds of faith planted in hard soil. Back in 1994, Derek Prince stood in front of a group of Christian leaders in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Among them were pastors from Azerbaijan, hungry for guidance, hungry for hope. Derek spoke boldly about the spiritual forces holding their region in darkness—paganism, Islam, and atheistic Communism. But he didn’t stop there. He challenged them to take what they’d learned back home, to equip others, and to trust that God’s Word could break through even the toughest resistance.

        And they did. Over the years, that small beginning grew into something lasting. In the 2010s, we started translating Derek’s teachings into Azerbaijani. Books like 'Prayers and Proclamations' became lifelines for people like Fatima, a young woman whose faith came alive as she discovered the power of speaking God’s Word into her struggles. Stories like hers remind us why we keep going, even when the work feels slow or the obstacles seem huge.

        We don’t have a large team in Azerbaijan, and resources are tight. But God’s been faithful, and He’s opened doors through partnerships with local churches and believers in neighboring countries. It’s a simple ministry—no frills, no fanfare—but it’s reaching people in ways that truly matter.

        As long as there are Christians in Azerbaijan holding onto their faith, Derek Prince Ministries will be here to stand with them, helping them shine God’s light in one of the most spiritually challenging corners of the world.
