I’m finally back home in Malaysia (at least for a little while) after a truly “round-the-world” trip, and today I want to briefly cover a few different topics including a critical ministry update in Iran and a strategic opportunity in China later this year.

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 prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.
