Dear Partner in Ministry,
Welcome to November 2026!
Please join me and our partners in DEM in giving God praise among the nations and giving Him all the glory for His faithfulness and mercy towards us throughout the years. We thank God for His unfailing love and for the assurance that He will never leave us nor forsake us, but will faithfully accomplish all that He has spoken concerning us and the vision He has entrusted to DEM.
“God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; that thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.” – Psalm 67:1–2
This is our prayer for DEM: that God will continue to show us His mercy, bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, so that His ways and His salvation may be made known among the nations.
Our desire is that the Lord will continue to use DEM across the nations to preach the Gospel, proclaim His Kingdom, and make His great name known throughout the earth.
Through the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, we long to see lives transformed, families restored, communities impacted, and nations brought into the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
May the peoples praise Him, the nations be glad and rejoice, and Jesus Christ be acknowledged and exalted as King and Lord. “God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.” – Psalm 67:7
May God bless DEM, not for our own glory, but so that His name may be proclaimed, His Kingdom may advance, and the nations may praise Him.
God will accomplish what He has spoken.
Friend, when God spoke to Jacob, He gave him this promise: “And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest… for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.” – Genesis 28:15
This promise to Jacob reminds us of the faithfulness of the God who keeps His Word. What He has spoken, He is able to accomplish.
Therefore, let us declare together: God is with us. He will keep us wherever we go, and He will faithfully accomplish all that He has spoken concerning us and the assignment He has entrusted to us. This Is Our Daytime—Let Us Work! The vision God has given to DEM is for an appointed time, and our appointed time is Now!
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3
We therefore continue to trust the Lord, knowing that His purposes will be accomplished and that everything He has spoken will surely come to pass.
Jesus said: “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” – John 9:4
Beloved, this is our daytime. This is our opportunity to serve the Lord while we have strength, health, light, time, and the resources to advance His Kingdom.
The “night” reminds us that opportunities and seasons do not last forever. Therefore, while it is still day, let us make every moment count for Jesus.
We must be faithful to preach and proclaim the Word of God “in season, out of season” (2 Timothy 4:2). Nothing and no one should distract us from or cause us to abandon the assignment God has entrusted to us.
BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR WALK WITH GOD AND SERVICE….
People change. Circumstances change. Seasons change. But God does not change. He remains faithful. Therefore, we must remain steadfast in our walk with God and in the service He has entrusted to us.
There will be seasons when people leave, disappoint us, or even betray us. Those we expected to journey with us may no longer be able or willing to continue. Some may become sick, some may walk away, and others may abandon the work. At times, it may even seem as though everyone has forsaken us.
Yet our confidence must remain in God. Jesus Christ, the One who called us and whom we serve, is “the same yesterday, and today, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). He has promised, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
Yours in Christ,
Apostle Darlene
