The Netherlands

In the Netherlands, liberal theology, a decline in traditional Christian beliefs, and the rise of Islam have left many people unfamiliar with God's word. DPM Netherlands strengthens Christians and churches by translating and distributing Derek Prince's teachings, including books, free daily devotionals, YouTube, and online courses, fostering a renewed faith to reach the next generation.

Mission and Impact

The Netherlands has a rich Christian history but is no longer predominantly a Christian nation. With a population of 17 million, there are about 600,000 evangelical Christians. Statistics show that only 4 out of 10 Dutch citizens consider themselves religious, belonging mostly to reformed or Catholic churches. While the number of Muslims and followers of other religions is increasing slightly, atheism is growing much faster.

There is a significant need for spiritual renewal in the Netherlands. Liberal theology has taken root, and some churches even have pastors who no longer believe in God. Many Christians are unfamiliar with God's word or unsure how to apply it in their lives. They often feel inadequate in explaining their faith, resulting in a younger generation and immigrants not hearing the transformative message of the gospel. Despite this, there is an openness among youth and immigrants, who are disillusioned with materialism and searching for identity and spiritual fulfillment.

DPM Netherlands addresses these needs by strengthening Christians through the translation and distribution of Derek Prince's Bible teachings. We make these resources available in books, free educational letters, and daily devotionals. We also partner with networks for immigrant churches to provide them with Bible teaching in their heart languages. Additionally, we leverage YouTube and online courses to help Christians deepen their faith and strengthen their testimony, ensuring that the life-changing gospel reaches the next generation and new arrivals in the country.

        The Journey So Far

        DPM Netherlands was established in 1993 with a mission to help people connect with God's Word and His Spirit, believing that this union transforms lives.

        Derek Prince spoke at several conferences in the Netherlands, including for Farsi-speaking refugees. From the beginning, DPM Netherlands has embodied the Dutch mindset of looking beyond our borders. We have been actively involved in supporting outreach projects, particularly in Eastern Europe. Even before the fall of communism, Derek's Bible teachings were smuggled from the Netherlands into these countries, spreading hope and faith in challenging times. We also serve Christians in Belgium and Surinam.

        Inspired by Derek Prince, the Dutch team initiated the development of proclamation cards. These cards, featuring key Bible verses on specific topics, help Christians meditate on, memorize, and proclaim God's Word in faith. To date, we have developed over 90 proclamation cards, many of which have been translated into other languages. This initiative, like many others from DPM Netherlands, has been adopted globally, reflecting our ongoing commitment to spiritual growth and outreach both within and beyond our nation.

        In 2004, we pioneered the development of online courses, enabling people to deeply engage with biblical principles. Today, we have developed more than a dozen courses on various topics, such as prayer, spiritual warfare, Israel and fatherhood, equipping thousands of Christians. These courses are now being translated into other languages to broaden their impact.
