DPM UK - Channel Swim 2010 · 19 July 2010 ·

Derek Prince (1915 - 2003) was one of the founders of the Charismatic movement and an internationally recognised Bible teacher. His preaching and teaching ministry touched millions of lives and continues to be a source of inspiration and insight to many Christians today. During his lifetime Derek Prince poured himself out to reach the unreached and teach the untaught. Today his teaching is available in 100 languages to Christians in the UK, the Middle East, China, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere. Through the generous support of many individuals and churches Derek Prince Ministries (DPM) continues to resource church leaders and congregations in different parts of the world. The DPM UK office was founded in 1986. Since then, it has served thousands of believers and church leaders in the UK and worldwide. To find our more visit our website: www.dpmuk.org

Story

When Peter first mentioned his desire to swim the English Channel as a relay team I knew it was something I wanted to do. I love to swim and knew it would be a great challenge for me and not everyone can say they have swum to Channel. In the time I have been training I have gone from being a slow breast stoke swimmer to a reasonable front crawl swimmer thanks to the help of our coach Audrey. This has been a personal challenge for me but I can see the benefits not only for myself but also those we are raising funds for.

I have been working for  DPM UK for nearly 4 years and have been challenged by many of the books and messages produced by Derek Prince. I have also had the privilege to be able to take books and CDs (Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose, Faith to Live By and God Wrote Your Scenario plus other titles)  to Nigeria and Kenya over the past two years as I have been out to work with churches and orphanages in these countries. People are crying out for good teaching in Africa and quite a number of believers know about Derek Prince from his time living and teaching out in Africa. With the money we raised there would be the opportunity for us to print resources out there instead of physically taken them with us making them more widely available.


Thank you for reading this and I will appreciate any support you can give.
