March 24th 2017: Nkhata Bay Prison

 

This is a poem presented to our team by a prisoner and a friend on our last day of ministry in Malawi. His primary language is Chichewa but he wrote it down and presented it to us in English. Though it’s broken english, some parts don’t make complete sense and he gets our names wrong, I personally love this poem. 

 

                                                                            I Give You Only Jesus
