Fellowship - Derek Prince (How to find your place)

This is a video teaching by Derek from the early 1970s. This is old film footage, and it looks it! But that is part of what makes it so special. Yes, the black-and-white image is grainy. Yes, the graphics are quite crude. But watching this DVD is like traveling in a time machine. And, of course, the teaching is pure Derek Prince—in his prime. Enjoy and be blessed!

each other
