Our dear brother in Christ, John Mark, first made contact with us in mid 2009, and as you read the following extracts from some of his mail you will see a little of just how bad his situation has become. Also, please take note of our comment at the end of this document. Danny & Terri Maher.
From this point on, John has been going through the fires, struggling in every way. We cannot share what he’s been suffering here, as most of it is too personal. Please, please pray for him. Danny & Terri Maher.

My Brother Dan & Terri Maher, I just want to take this opportunity, first to thank God, the one who is providing you in order to help us. I am very happy because yesterday evening I received 15,000 Swahili tracts by bus from Pastor Phillip. I need to thank you also for your kindness in being ready to help us with tracts. Also I want to thank Pastor Phillip. I am telling you again he is doing very good work, although he is passing through a very, very hard time financially, but he is still faithful to God, to you, to us and to all the people. Again, I am saying don’t forget him, but remember him financially in order to encourage him. Thank you, and remember me again please. God bless you too. J. Mark.

My brethren, Dan & Terri, and all the saints, I greet you in Jesus name, our Saviour. My troubles are still increasing for mr day by day. The bad news is that I don't have legs any more. I went back to hospital for a checkup, and they told me there is a virus in both my legs, and that I needed to have them taken off to avoid the virus infecting other parts of my body. So now I am without legs. Thank you very much for the wheel chair you provided, and i know I will be able to use it all of my life. Please remember also that I have five children and a wife who all look to me for everything. Please help me any time, with any amount you can manage. Also I don't have any Swahili tracts left, would you please send me some again. John Mark.

Brothers In Christ, Danny & Terry Maher, Shalom. Thank you again for the 1000 Swahili tracts which i received from Pastor Phillip. I thank God also for the number of peoples which increase in my church day after day because of Swahili tracts. Again I say thank you, your work is not in vain. My brother, I arranged to have a crusade on 15th July 2009, like Pastor Siwale has done. Would you please tell Pastor Phillip to give me 10,000 Swahili tracts in order to win many lost souls? Actually I know money is a problem, but we a praying for you. Let me hear from you and God bless you too. John Mark.
8th June 2009
Brother Daniel & Terri Maher, Shalom, Thank you very much for your 1000 Swahili tracts which i received two weeks ago from Pastor Phillip Michael Mahali from Mbeya. I am living in Iringa I am aged enough. I was born in 1/2/1950, but I am still a senior pastor and overseer. I came to know young pastor Phillip Michael Mahali in Dar-Es-Salaam in church leader’s seminar two years ago when we were introduced. He gave me this contact. Yes, I am older Phillip, but he is man full of wisdom and he knows how to arrange things, and always he speaks the truth, and he is very open. Your tracts have helped me to get 50 new church members, and another 8 went to other churches. I received only 1000 Swahili tracts from my son Phillip, although I asked him to give me 5000. But he told me he received only 600 AUD to print Swahili tracts. Would you please help and send to me more than 5000 Swahili tracts? This peoples they need also bibles. Would you please help and send to us Swahili and English bible? Please, let me hear from you soon and God bless you too. Pastor & Overseer, John Mark.
