Today on the China Compass Podcast I interviewed my good friend and China co-laborer Denny (aka, William Ekvall Simpson) the day before his sentencing in federal court on July 3, 2024, for singing and praying in front of a Nashville abortion clinic back in 2021.

We spend most of our time discussing our evangelistic adventures in China (7:18), including stories of being chased in the middle of the night with his teenage son and multiple arrests by the Commies (with his teenage daughters).

We also discuss Denny's favorite Chinese place (Summer River, Gansu) and missionary martyr (William Ekvall Simpson) who loaned Denny his name for a season so he could get back into China.

We finish by discussing how to pray for Denny and the ten who were being sentenced in Nashville. (47:21)

*Thankfully, Denny was NOT given prison time* by the judge, even though he gave wonderfully bold testimony to the truth in his public statement just before she passed sentence:

*He was given six months of House Arrest, followed by three years of probation. It is unclear when this will begin, depending on appeals.

Please bookmark Denny's extensive online used bookstore, which is one of the primary ways he supports his family and ministry: https://www.remnantbooks.org/
