TESTIMONY - Ukraine“My name is Taisya, and I am 35. Two years ago, I was

introduced to the Bible for the first time and believed in

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

lives of many other people.”

other people learn God’s Word. I now often go to the villages to

preach the Gospel to my tribes. What an amazing course!”
