The work in MALAWI started in 2009 when evangelist JOHN BANDA contacted us, asking for tracts in, if possible, in the CHICHEWA language of that area. The meeting of that request was made possible for us by Pastor PHILLIP MAHALI, in MBEYA, TANZANIA, who not only had some tracts translated in CHICHEWA, and had them printed for us in MBEYA, but also delivered them to JOHN. What an incredible blessing the work of this beloved brother has been to us in so many different countries in that area of CENTRAL and EAST AFRICA. We praise and worship our wonderful God and Father for his amazing grace.
The following are exptacts from some encouraging emails we have received from JOHN:
1st Dec 2011
Brothers in Christ Daniel & Terri, how are you my beloved brothers. Next week on Sunday John Banda and his team they will begin a two month mission, so on Monday the same week I will be on the way to Malawi with blankets. I am asking for transport funds, also as the Lord provides, I am asking if possible to get more funds for John’s needs, and also the tracts which will be needed again for them. Next week Mary Pierre and other brothers will be finishing their missions but a few of them they will be remaining for another two weeks. So I am asking you to pray for me as I am praying for you also that God may give you financial breakthrough. Amen and Amen. Philip & Kissa Mahali
13th Oct 2011
Brothers in Christ Daniel & Terri Maher, I thank God I am back home safely. All the people and the teams in Malawi greet you. John needs help because the fire burned everything and all he has is one trouser, one shirt and one pair of shoes. Everything else is gone. The people who burned his house are in prisons. I have planned to have door to door evangelisms for two weeks around my city, so I will need some tracts, as Lord provides you. Don’t forget Mary and the brothers from Zimbabwe and Mozambique, also AS LORD PROVIDES. God bless you. Your sons, pastors Philip & Kissa Mahali
10th Oct 2011
My beloved brothers in Christ Daniel & Terri Maher, Greetings, I am here in Malawi at police central with John ready for statements. Really he is in a very, very dangerous situation because the fire burned everything he had. I will give you the full information on Wednesday when I will be at home because tomorrow I will be on the way back to Tanzania. It is sad for me to have to tell John and his fellow workers that you are unable to send funds for tents, blankets, mosquito nets and water, but there is really nothing for us to say concerning this. Let’s continue to believe and wait before the Lord. We are here with John and we need to go inside the police station for more discussions and statements. I will tell you more later. God bless you. Pastor Philip Michael Mahali
29th Sept 2011
Brethren in Christ, Danny and Terri, first of all let me apologise for not communicating with you for many days. Really I was in a very, very bad and dangerous situation because groups of Muslim guys came at night and burned my house. so I have had to go and stay with my parents in their village where there is no power or internet. But today I am in town again to report at the police station for statements and I will stay here for only two days then I will be back to the village. Thank you and be blessed. John Banda
24th Sept 2011
Beloved brothers in Christ Daniel & Terri, thank you so much for your email. Sadly, tell your fellowship that agents or the enemy of our gospel burned down the John Banda’s house in Malawi and I am struggling to find him. Maybe I will need to go there and see him. Philip & Kissa Mahali
31th Aug 2011
At month’s end we are waiting for reports from the following evangelists, John Banda in Malawi, Peter Siwale in Dodoma
(Tanzania) and George Otieno who finishes two months of crusades in Uganda next week. Please continue to pray for these evangelists some of whom are suffering major health problems because of the conditions they labour under for the Lord. Also, please pray for Mary Pierre (Makecho) and her husband Daniel who begin two months of evangelism in the Democratic Republic of Congo next week.
20th July 2011
Dear brethren in Christ, Danny & Terri Maher, Very sorry. Yes I was in hospital for almost two weeks suffering from typhoid, malaria and other chest problems. This has happened several times after finishing our missions because of environment problems, especially in the villages. We drink dirty water and we sleep on the ground full of dust and without blankets or even mosquito nets. This is the life style of the people who living in our villages. Pastor Philip knows this but he told us that there is no budget for these tools but only for literatures. So if possible you can tell your friends or other organizations who may be able
to help us to get blankets, tents, nets and safe water for the next time. Two brothers have already died during the last mission and we have buried them in their villages. So after I came out of hospital I went again to those villages for the funeral.
The following are the numbers of peoples who got saved; Young ladies 750, Young boys 230, Women 1200 and men 92. We baptized 56 of them and 1000 of them are now in churches getting teaching.
Brethren, the harvest is great and we are ready to continue with this missions because it is a part of our life. Next time we will need many tracts and if possible, tents, nets, blankets and safe water. Please allow me to hear from you soon. We love you and are praying for you. John Banda.
15th March 2011
Brothers in Christ Danny & Terri, I hope I have not offended you by not having been in contact with you for several months now, but I was involved in an accident which left my leg affected a lot. I was in hospital for several months and only now I am opening my emails.
We were supposed to begin a mission last month but we failed because I was in hospital, so we have arranged to begin ON 28 MARCH 2011. This will be for two month. PLEASE HELP US WITH TRACTS AS LORD PROVIDES YOU. Stay in peace. John Banda.
We have been able to assist in some way, but this need is obviously ongoing.

Brothers Danny & Terri, thank you for your emai, and yes, we know the situation you face. Let us wait before our God. we have been in communication with PASTOR PHILLIP, and he told us he should wait, in order to come with tracts.
