"This new business is a direct result of the strategic marketing alliance that Mutual Merchant Services formed with Zion Systems, LTD to provide mobile market credit card processing services to Christian organizations and businesses nationwide," said Gil Gillis, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. "I look forward to continued growth in the Company's business as we continue to form similar strategic alliances in different market niches. Our next target is the personal training and physical therapy market. I am personally dedicated to this market sector as a result of my partnership with Patrick Rummerfeld, Director of Development for the Kennedy Krieger Institute's International Center for Spinal Cord Injury," he added.

Gil, a long time auto racer, uses his land speed record holder, the Xtreme Freedom Special, as a marketing tool to raise awareness and funds for the Center. The Center is affiliated with Johns Hopkins and is located next door to the famed care center in Baltimore, Md.
