I want to remind you once again why I do this weekly Prison Pulpit series: to encourage you to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us, by sharing from his own words and sermons, as well as many stories and sermons from the late Richard Wurmbrand.    Pastor Wang Yi’s Prayer for the (Chinese) Nation https://www.wangyilibrary.org/en/post/a-prayer-for-the-nation [https://www.wangyilibrary.org/en/post/a-prayer-for-the-nation] Bonus: If Xi Jinping Does Not Repent, He Will Perish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWuv55YgKjY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWuv55YgKjY]   Follow China Compass Follow or subscribe to China Compass wherever you are listening.

Vanuatu: Chinese in the South Seas + Spurgeon's Support for "the King of the Cannibals"

On my final day in Vanuatu, as I continue my work on Part II of John G. Paton’s autobiography, I read a portion from the forthcoming book that includes both George Mueller and C.H. Spurgeon. Then I discuss the growth of the Chinese church in the capital city of Vanuatu, Port Vila, before looking at the Chinese cities to pray for this week (PrayforChina.us [http://prayforchina.us]).   I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben.

Happy Birthday John G. Paton (May 24, 1824) + My Deportation Day (May 25, 2018)

As Americans celebrate Memorial Day, I'm busy traveling the South Seas (Vanuatu), so today's show (#200!) is a mashup of two shorter bonus episodes I recorded exactly two years ago, when the podcast was just getting started. The first discusses John G. Paton on his birthday (May 24, 1824), as well as a little bit about his contemporary Hudson Taylor. In the second, I spill the beans about the day I was deported from NW China in 2018.  Note, these have been lightly edited from the old originals, but some 2024 or otherwise time-bound references are sure to remain.

The Word is Not Bound: Guarding the Church in China (w/ Brett from Sydney)│Prison Pulpit #83

My Australian friend Brett Lee-Price recently published a timely article about China’s need for solid theology, and what some Australians are doing about it. I’ve been meaning to share this for a few months now, and today felt like the time after meeting with Brett on Monday during a whirlwind week down under.  I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben.
