Middle East Outreach

Our Middle East outreach is co-ordinated from the UK office which involves oversight of DPM’s work throughout North Africa and the Middle East. We have produced and are seeking to develop material in a number of different languages in the region. Our strategy includes both the production of material within the target nations, as well as printing literature in the West to make available to immigrant communities.

Over the past year we have seen a great increase in the demand for our materials in this region, particularly in the Arabic language. We are excited by the new opportunities that are presenting themselves and look forward to continued expansion in the near future.

Derek Prince materials are available or being translated into the following languages:-

Amharic

We have 9 books available in this language and we are about to reprint 3 more titles in Ethiopia. In the last few years, DPM has also been supporting around 30 disadvantaged children, paying for their education and basic needs.

Arabic

At the end of 2003, we reprinted 10 titles, totalling 75,000 books in Egypt. A significant amount of this material was distributed during 2004, and plans for another large reprint are well advanced. The books are being sent to countries such as Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and many more.

We are continuing to make material available via audio, video, VCD, CD Rom and the internet. We are exploring new opportunities for television broadcasting via satellite.

Farsi

In addition to the 5 existing Farsi titles, our translators in Iran have just completed 4 new books. Because books printed inside Iran cannot be sent outside the country, we will shortly be printing many of these titles in Europe, for distribution among Iranian communities in the West.

Kurdish

As part of our outreach to Iraq and Kurdish speakers, we have translated 2 books into Kurdish Sorani. These will soon be printed in Northern Iraq.

Turkish

We have 6 book titles in the Turkish language and these have been available for several years.

We have a new website for North Africa and the Middle East at www.dpm.name
