China's Early Rain Church Busted AGAIN│Prison Pulpit #87

China's Early Rain Church Busted AGAIN│Prison Pulpit #87

This week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit once again gives us the opportunity to talk about Wang Yi’s Early Rain Church in Sichuan, China. The church was forcibly closed down in December of 2018, which is when Wang Yi went to Prison. The remaining congregation has continued to be harassed all these years.

Keith Darrell (Campus Preacher) Interview: High Mileage, Chinese Racists, and Aussie Hecklers

Doug Wilson Interview: Early Years in Japan, Trump's China Tactics, and Climbing the Great Wall (Someday)

I was blessed to sit down once again with Pastor Doug Wilson in his Idaho office to discuss a variety of China-related topics, including Trump's China tactics and whether or not Doug thinks he'll ever stand on the Great Wall of China. We also spent quite a few minutes discussing his early years in Japan, which was sort of unplanned. The conversation was fascinating and fun and we only stopped because of time restraints. I have a few more questions that I had to leave for a future conversation.  Here's the link to our previous conversation back in the Fall of 2025, of which I wrote the following... In our 30+ minute conversation, we touched on many topics including the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s Great Famine, Doug’s Submarine Adventures with a Taiwanese crew, the China Legacies of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, the Tiananmen Square massacre (and revival), China’s modern-day revival, C.S. Lewis’s 1946 China optimism vs. Doug’s (short-term) pessimism, Hebrews 13:3 and how to pray for the persecuted, and PrayforChina.us’s helpful strategy! https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/audio/podcasts/30293/episodes/133 [https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/audio/podcasts/30293/episodes/133]   We would welcome donations to help us equip pastors [https://givebutter.com/missioncatalyst] in the Chinese house church network I mentioned in my conversation with Doug.
