China Compass
“We Were Waiting To Die”│Prison Pulpit #102
Welcome to this mid-week Prison Pulpit edition of the China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X ( @chinaadventures ) where I share a new Chinese city to adopt in prayer every single day. Email any questions or comments to: bfwesten AT gmail dot com. Finally, for everything else visit PrayGiveGo.us , including our ministry page, substack, patreon and books. On this week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit, I begin by giving a little update from our recent China conferences, as well as a look forward to my next trip to India. Then we dive into a moving testimony from Central Asia, where a missionary and his team were attacked with a grenade and nearly killed. His thoughts on this experience of suffering will help us to better pray for others who find themselves in similarly dire circumstances. Finally, a short Pray for China section finishes out today’s podcast! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them” We Were Waiting To Die www.9marks.org/article/we-were-waiting-to-die-suffering-as-a-missionary-for-the-sake-of-the-name/ Book of the Week: The Autobiography of John G.
