May 3 - India

• Commit the plans of Directors Elsie and Danny to the Lord as they prepare to train the first group of 50 young leaders in the Andaman Islands.

This event will bring the first group of young people to be trained, challenged, and empowered for ministry.

Outreach Report - India

• Directors Elsie and Danny had a successful ministry time in the Andamans in January. They held four seminars on spiritual warfare for about 350 pastors and leaders who all received Derek’s books and SD cards with his audio teaching. One pastor testified, "For the past 37 years, I have devoted myself to missionary work in the Andamans. However, today’s teaching has profoundly impacted my soul, akin to a transformative operation. It was an experience devoid of pain, but brimming with gain, liberating me from the weight of guilt and equipping me to engage in spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness in the heavenly realms."

May 4 - Australia

• Pray for Peter and Katie to have divine connections, good health, safety, and protection from spiritual attacks, witchcraft, curses, and territorial spirits particularly relating to traditional Indigenous culture.
• Pray for a powerful Holy Spirit outpouring and a great harvest of souls, with miracles, signs, and wonders.

Outreach Reports - Cambodia

Testimony

• A two-day seminar was held recently for 35 pastors, church members, and health care workers (who "double" as evangelists). Our team taught from God’s Medicine Bottle and The Grace of Yielding, and each attendee received free books. One participant testified:
  "The recent seminar was truly a blessing. The teachings, particularly from God’s Medicine Bottle, had a profound impact on me. Just as medicine, even if well-packaged, needs to be used correctly to be effective, the Bible requires proper understanding and application to experience its full benefits. Following the guidance of the Holy Spirit in studying the Bible allows its message to nourish and strengthen our bodies, minds, and spirits. This seminar wasn’t just beneficial for me. The lessons and informative pamphlets provided invaluable learning for all participants. I am grateful to Derek Prince for sharing his ministry and to everyone involved in this event."
• Two other seminars were held in March for pastors, Bible college teachers, and Christian leaders from various denominations. The teaching included The Power of Proclamation, The Grace of Yielding, and Praying for the Government. The pastors expressed their gratitude, receiving Derek’s Burmese language books that they intend to share more widely across their pastoral networks.

It was very encouraging for these leaders who have been heavily persecuted for sharing the gospel. They were given Derek’s book, Fatherhood, and the God is My Father proclamation card. Two testimonies are below:

"The teaching touched my heart deeply; this is the first time I heard a teaching like this. I need to know God as a father as this is the foundation for my fatherhood to my children and disciples." – Pastor Uy

"I never really knew or understood my father’s love for me because he was not with me since I was a boy. I was hurt a lot because of it. But now I know God is my father. He loves me deeply and has healed my heart and helped me to show His father heart of love to others." – Pastor B

Derek Prince's ministry, his dedication, and his teaching continue to inspire me to trust, admire, and follow Christ.
