March 2015

John had the privilege of preaching at the local prison Saturday. I saw little of living conditions, but have heard they are deplorable. We were well received by wonderful smiling faces. Many have been saved there under the ministry of a Malawian friend of ours, Charles. He was once an inmate himself, and now is a Bible college graduate and dedicated to the spiritual welfare and growth of prisoners.

John sang a couple songs and spoke on “Taking Out the Rubbish”. Charles had been present in the African Bible Chapel service years prior when I had done a recitation. He asked me (on the way to the prison!) if I would mind doing it there… yikes. I was thankful my friend, Wendy, had asked me to do it at her church over Christmas so that it was relatively fresh on my mind.

The band was delightful. We are always so impressed with Malawian’s ability to make instruments for giving praise to the Lord. See what you think…..
