UDerek Prince wazalelwa emndenini wezempi waseBrithani e-Bangalore, eNdiya ngo-1915. Lapho eneminyaka engu-14 wazuza umfundaze wokuya e-Eton College lapho afunda khona isiGreki nesiLatini. Waqhubeka nemfundo yakhe eCambridge University, eNgilandi, lapho athola khona iFellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy eKing's College. UDerek waphinda wafunda izilimi zesimanje eziningana ngenkathi efunda eNyuvesi yaseCambridge, kuhlanganise nesiHebheru nesi-Aramu, kamuva azicwengisisela eNyuvesi yesiHebheru eJerusalema.
Nakuba uDerek akhulela eSontweni LaseSheshi, washiya izimpande zakhe zobuKristu eNyuvesi yaseCambridge futhi wamukela umbono wezwe ongakholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Ecabanga ngaleyo minyaka yemfundo ephakeme, kamuva wathi:
“Ngangazi amagama amaningi namabinzana amade, futhi ngase ngizame izinto eziningi ezahlukene. Kodwa, uma ngibheka emuva, kwakuyodingeka ngivume ukuthi ngangididekile futhi ngikhungathekile, ngidumele futhi ngidumele, futhi ngingazi ukuthi ngingayitholaphi impendulo.”
impi yezwe II
Umsebenzi kaDerek wezemfundo waphazanyiswa lapho kuqala iMpi Yezwe II. Ngo-1940 wabhalisa eRoyal Army Medical Corps njengesosha elingalwi ngesisekelo sezinkolelo zakhe siqu. Ukuze aqhubekisele phambili izifundo zakhe phakathi nenkonzo yezempi ekhuthele, uDerek wahamba neBhayibheli ayelibheka ngaleso sikhathi njengeliwumsebenzi wefilosofi kuneZwi likaNkulunkulu eliphefumulelwe.
Ngomhla zingama-31 kuJulayi 1941, ngenkathi esebenza esikhungweni sokuqeqesha eScarborough, eYorkshire, wahlangabezana nokuhlangana okunamandla noJesu okwakuzoshintsha inkambo yempilo yakhe. Ekhumbula isipiliyoni wathi:
“Ngezwa izwi likaJesu, likhuluma ngokucace kakhulu ngemibhalo, iBhayibheli. Futhi kusukela osukwini ngezwa ngalo izwi Lakhe, kuze kube namuhla, kunezinto ezimbili engingakaze ngizingabaze. Angikaze ngingabaze ukuthi uJesu uyaphila, futhi angikaze ngingabaze ukuthi iBhayibheli liyiZwi likaNkulunkulu.”
Lwaqala kanjalo uhambo olungokomoya lomunye wabafundisi beBhayibheli abavelele bekhulu lama-20.
Cishe ngokushesha ngemva kokuguquka kwakhe kobuKristu, uDerek washintshelwa emisebenzini yakhe esebenzayo ezingwadule zaseNyakatho Afrika lapho achitha khona iminyaka emithathu esebenza njengomuthi wezempi. Wanikela ngesikhathi sakhe esikhululekile ekutadisheni iBhayibheli nasekuthuthukiseni ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu.
Ekupheleni kwempi, uDerek wakhululwa ebuthweni ngenkathi ehlezi eJerusalema, ebona ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho seBhayibheli ngokubuyela kwabantu bamaJuda kwa-Israyeli.

UDerek noLydia bahlala eJerusalema kwaze kwaba ngemva kokusungulwa kombuso wamaJuda wakwa-Israyeli ngo-1948. Lapho bebanjwe phakathi kwamabutho ama-Arab kanye nama-Israel phakathi neMpi Yenkululeko, bakhishwa ekhaya labo futhi ngokungathandi bathuthela eNgilandi. Lapho esezinzile enkabeni yeLondon, uDerek waqala ukushumayela eKhoneni LikaSomlomo eHyde Park, evame ukuphelezelwa uLydia namanye amantombazane. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ababekhona bamenyelwa ekhaya lomkhaya ukuze baqhubeke nenkonzo, futhi kwasungulwa isonto elisha. Lokhu kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngu-1956 lapho iNkosana isabela obizweni lukaNkulunkulu futhi yathuthela eKenya njengezithunywa zevangeli ngoJanuwari 1957.
Eminyakeni eyalandela, uDerek noLydia babona izithelo eziningi njengoba bekhonza abantu bendawo, kuhlanganise nentombazane eyodwa eyavuswa kwabafileyo ngomthandazo.
Ngo-1962, lo mbhangqwana wawuthole usana lwaseKenya oyintandane futhi base beya eCanada. ULydia, oneminyaka engu-25 ubudala kuDerek, wayesanda kweva eminyakeni engu-70 futhi elangazelela ukuzinza eduze nabangane namanye amakholwa. Eshukunyiswe yilesi sidingo, uDerek wamukela isimemo sokuba umfundisi weBhayibheli esontweni likaMoya eMinneapolis.

Nokho, ngaphambi kokuphela kweshumi leminyaka, ezikaNkosana zazizoqhubeka izikhathi ezintathu; Seattle, Chicago kanye ne-Fort Lauderdale, ngokulandelana. Intuthuko enkonzweni yavula iminyango emisha nengalindelekile, kodwa umbhangqwana wahlala uthembekile obizweni oluhlala lukhona lukaNkulunkulu.
Ngo-1968, inkonzo yokufundisa kaDerek yayisikhule yaba yimfiva embuthweni osafufusa weCharismatic. Wahamba kakhulu, eshumayela iZwi ngamandla nangegunya.
Ngomhla zi-5 kuMfumfu 1975, uLydia Prince washona ngokuthula eneminyaka engama-85 ezungezwe umndeni. Ungumbhali wencwadi ethi "Appointment in Jerusalem" eyashicilelwa ngaphambi nje kokufa kwakhe ngawo lowo nyaka.

Sisonke, kuqhamuke isigaba esisha senkonzo ngokwethulwa kohlelo lomsakazo nsuku zonke olunesihloko esithi “Namuhla noDerek Prince”. Ekuqaleni yasakazwa eziteshini zomsakazo eziyisishiyagalombili, izethameli zakhula ngokushesha futhi ifa lenkonzo laqina. Namuhla, la mazwi aqoshiwe asakazwa emhlabeni wonke futhi atholakala ngezilimi ezihlukahlukene.
Imininingwane yendaba yothando kaDerek noRuth ibhalwe encwadini ethi “God is a Matchmaker” abayibhala ngokuhlanganyela futhi yanyatheliswa ngo-1986.
UDerek noRuth Prince bathatha isithombe eceleni koMfula iZambezi, eZambia, ngo-1985.
URuth washonela eJerusalema ngomhla zingama-29 kuZibandlela 1998 kulandela ukugula okufushane okungazange kutholwe kahle. Wayeneminyaka engu-68 futhi wayesekhonze ngokwethembeka ohlangothini lukaDerek iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili.
Ehlulwe usizi, umthombo womunyu waqala ukukhuphuka enhliziyweni kaDerek. Ebona amandla angcolile ayezomdedisela ekugcineni kuNkulunkulu, wenza isimemezelo sasobala emngcwabeni kaRuthe esasiyochaza iminyaka yakhe esele. Njengoba ibhokisi lehliswa, uDerek wabonga uNkulunkulu ngakho konke ayekwenzile ekuphileni kukaRuthe, eqinisekisa ngobuqotho uthando lwakhe nokumethemba kwakhe uYise osezulwini. Ecabanga ngaleso sikhathi, kamuva wathi
“Kwakuyisikhathi esibalulekile empilweni yami. Ngangazi ukuthi ngangingeke ngiqhubeke nokubalisa engangikuzwa ngoRuth. Ngangiyohlala ngisola uNkulunkulu, futhi umnyango wokuphila kwami wawuyovalwa. Lokhu kwaba ukuphela kwendlela engangingaqhubeka ngayo.”

“Ubizelwe ukuba ube umfundisi wemiBhalo, eqinisweni, nangokholo, nothando olukuKristu Jesu-kwabaningi.”
Kwabonakala kukude kakhulu nesiteshi sikaDerek samanje, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi sabonakala njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ayethembisile ngo-1941:
“Kuyakuba njengomfula omncane; Umfula uyakuba ngumfula. Umfula uyakuba ngumfula omkhulu; Umfula omkhulu uyakuba ulwandle. Ulwandle luyakuba ulwandle olukhulu, ludlule kuwe; Kodwa kanjani, akufanele wazi, awukwazi, ngeke wazi."
Kuze kube namuhla, igama elithi Derek Prince lisafana nemfundiso yenkolo enengqondo nemfundiso ecacile kodwa ehlelekile yeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukholo lwakhe oluqinile nokuzinikela ekutadisheni imibhalo kwamenza waba omunye wabafundisi beBhayibheli ababehlonishwa nabahlonishwa kakhulu ngesikhathi sakhe.
