Welcome to China Compass! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). You can also email me with any questions or comments @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. B.F. Westen is my pen name, for security reasons. If you want to see the missionary books I’ve published and learn more about our work, you can find easy links to everything @ PrayGiveGo.us!

Today I join my good friend and China ministry partner, Denny, as he continues in house arrest after his conviction for saving babies in Nashville. Among other things, we talk about the used Christian bookstore (www.RemnantBooks.org) that helps support his family and ministry, and the now polygamous missionary to China’s tropical paradise, Hainan Island, a former friend who we both once knew and respected.

But first, I want to talk briefly about China’s South American Concubines…

I also  refer to another opinion piece, supposedly written by Dictator Xi himself, but I don’t have a link to that article. The Chinese government website that hosted the English version of the article did not seem too secure, so I copied the text into a Google doc, which is what I refer to in the podcast. 

Pray for China Province of the Week: Hainan Island

Hainan Island (Province) in China is matched up with the state of Hawaii for prayer. By the way, Hainan means “South of the Sea” and refers to the island’s location in the South China Sea.
