Dear Brethren,
Greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus who died, was buried and resurrected on the third day for us
to be justified before the Father. How are you?
As most of you know, Brother Joe is now in our country, Malawi, after visiting churches there in America
which pray and support our work. We thank the Lord who has enabled him to come back and stay
among us. When the Lord opens, none closes.
Brother Joe is a man who follows Bible Mission principles as the member of the N.T. church which
authorized him to do mission work in this part of the world. It was not his will but God’s will. He was
touched by the hand of God, and that’s why he left his relatives and was drawn to stay with us for the
Lord’s sake. He trusts God to supply all his needs and his purpose has been (and still is) to share the
truth of God’s word with those who have been drawn to Jesus by God the Father. He is not in
competition with others who come in the name of the Lord with worldly programs. On 14th of February
2010 we went to Phalombe where we taught about the N.T. Church. We were very surprised to hear
that someone with his team is buying and promising to get new bicycles if they follow him and work
with him. Our Lord and His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:34) for this our fathers were killed,
slain with the sword, had trials, stoned, were tempted, wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins.
Their major aspect was to preach the Gospel as commissioned. It is the power of God. It includes
pardon of sin, promise of eternal life, made righteousness, and it turns lost souls to go to heaven.
Brother Joe has been in trials but has determined to remain among us and share the truth of the
gospel of the Lord Jesus. He has assisted the boys both spiritually and academically. One boy has
qualified for University education. May you all be blessed from heaven where our Lord is for your
support. We know that the methods of others who have come in the name of Our Lord Jesus have
caused confusion. They campaign like politicians or farmers who are here to open farms for their sake.
We are planning to start our mission work in the Central and Northern regions of Malawi and we need
your support for transport and accommodation for Joe’s family. Pray also for the mission as we stand
as a protest to modernism, which opposes the historic Bible mission principles. Pastors should be
strong and sound in our doctrine. Those who do not read the Bible, how can they be Pastors?
Lastly, Brother Joe has a wife who supports him in many ways as a wife of a missionary, so she needs
your prayers as she prepares things for Joe when he leaves for the mission field. When we say field
here in Africa it means busy far away areas full of mosquitoes which carry Malaria. It is common here.
In His Mercy,
Pastor Andrew Saidi Phiri
