Outreach to the Nations - DPM-Africa: God's Faithfulness At Work


 


     All around us, we hear the message to look to the new, the bigger, the better. But sometimes, the Lord asks us a similar question that He asked of Moses in Exodus 4:2: "What is that in your hand?" Why? While we are looking for something new, He is reminding us of something we already have access to, something within our grasp. That is how it is with our work in Africa. Utilizing both established methodologies and new technologies, we are seeing doors open wide to Derek Prince's teaching all around the continent.

The Role Of Radio

     According to the BBC World Service, "the earliest recording of a radio broadcast [in Africa] was made in 1923 in South Africa." For the past 100 years, the medium of radio has continued—and expanded—its effectiveness in reaching African nations with news, education, and the Gospel.

     Recalling the changes that God brought about following his marriage to Ruth in October 1978, Derek said:

In February 1979, just four months after we were married, my daily radio broadcast "Today with Derek Prince" went on the air on eight stations in the United States.

The word God gave me was: "Proclaim! Short, simple messages, easily understood, declaring basic scriptural truths."

 
     Derek's mandate from the Lord has certainly been true for Africa. Through the years, and across the globe, radio has consistently been a vital means to disseminate his teaching. In many parts of Africa, we are responding to the plea for radio ministry. We are investing more and more in this medium to reach unreached people who have strong oral traditions but not necessarily good literacy.

     Click here to read more about this outreach and how the Lord is providing increased opportunities for us to reach more and more Africans.

Thank you!

You helped Mario "get it"



From: Alexander Hettinga 

 You helped Mario "get it"

Dear Rick, 

 

I wanted to take a quick moment to let you know how big a difference pro-life people like you've made, ministering to fathers who come into our affiliated pregnancy centers. They're considering abortion and you can help them choose life! Dads like Mario*.

 

Mario told his fatherhood mentor that he grew up in a home with a drug-addicted mom and workaholic dad. Eventually, he ended up living just with his father. While his dad instilled work ethics in him, he always felt their relationship was disconnected. When Mario came to his local pregnancy center, he and his girlfriend, Sofia*, had only recently found out they would be having a baby. But he wanted to learn to be the kind of dad he didn't have. He wanted to build a family and be in his baby's life.

 

He has been plugged in ever since.

 

Mario enrolled in his center's Doctor Dad program and dove right in. It was obvious he wanted to learn as much as he possibly could to be the best father he could be and to support his family.

 

Mario and Sofia got married and had their beautiful baby boy. His mentor said, "You can tell by the way he [Mario] talks and plays with his son that all he has is love to give him...  He is not only a great father but an inspiration to the rest of the dads in our program."

Doctor Dad Training

Thanks to pro-life people like you, Care Net's Fatherhood Program prepared nineteen Care Net-affiliated pregnancy centers to transform the lives of thousands of dads like Mario.

 

The results: 42% more men in those communities were served than before!

 

So far this year, more than 4,200 fathers have been served by the participating pregnancy centers.

 

Of those:

  • 2,300 were there to support the mother for pregnancy test appointments
  • More than 2,300 men participated in ultrasound appointments with the mother of their baby
  • More than 750 men have participated in the Doctor Dad parenting program, and of those over 40% have graduated
  • Many were connected to a local church for ongoing support and discipleship

Now you're probably thinking: "Well, that's nice, but what's the big deal? I mean, isn't the decision to choose life really up to the mother?"

 

The father of the baby plays a bigger role in a woman's decision to choose life… or abortion... than you might expect.

 

Over the last few years, Care Net conducted two national surveys — one of 1,500 women who had abortions and one of 1,000 men whose partners had abortions.

 

In those surveys, both women and men agreed: when deciding whether or not to abort their baby, the father of their baby was the MOST influential voice.

 

Dads matter.

They matter a LOT.

 

This is why engaging fathers during pregnancy and challenging them to care for their partner and child is so important. 

 

This year Care Net's network of affiliated pregnancy centers served more dads in local communities than ever before. The generosity of people like you helped ensure these dads and the mothers of their babies didn't end up in an abortion clinic.

 

As fantastic as that is, many pregnancy centers still don't have a fatherhood program yet. Those centers could be reaching more dads in their communities to make sure more women facing unplanned pregnancies have the support they need from the fathers of their babies to help them choose life.

 

And that's where YOU come in.

 

Rick, you can make a difference when it counts, through your generous giving and faithful prayers. You can be our secret weapon! 

 

You can ensure more pregnancy centers have strong fatherhood programs – and are empowered to reach out to more dads in their community. 

 

Now, I realize the economy is taking a toll, and maybe you don't have as much to give as you would like, but a widow's mite will go a long way in God's economy. If you can, your gift of any amount would make a huge difference in the lives of so many families!

 

You can help ensure even more dads are served this year with your gift. Make your gift today using this secure link:

Thank you so much for everything you do to help save unborn babies from abortion and for showing the love of Christ to dads considering abortion. May God bless you mightily today! 

 

God Bless,

Alex
