Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! 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 @ contact at PrayforChina dot us. You can also find easy links to everything we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us.

Summary:

First, I take a few minutes to look at China’s current struggles (1:30). Then I take another look at Jimmy Carter’s China legacy (8:03). Next I talk about my first true departure for China 22 years ago this week, and what I thought I was getting into by moving to China for a “year” (26:08). Lastly, I discuss Borden’s adventures in Cairo in January of 1913 (39:11) and William Milne’s Journals from 200+ years ago (46:00).

Pray for China:

Jan 11 - Pray for Xiangtan Prefecture in south-central China's mountainous Hunan Province, and the homeland of Mao Zedong (childhood home pictured). Hunan literally translates to “south of the lake” and is paired with both Indiana and Ohio for prayer: www.PrayforChina.us
