God. I am very grateful for the faith general, Derek Prince
so I am able to get deeper in the Scriptures and see much
clearer my own life and spiritual problems. Derek’s books
give us plain and thorough teaching on how to use God’s

souls, and how to use the power given to us to serve God.
Your work has a huge contribution in my life and in the

other people learn God’s Word. I now often go to the villages to
preach the Gospel to my tribes. What an amazing course!”
