Welcome to another episode in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series on the China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, recording from an undisclosed location on the Chinese border. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). To learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us!

Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series? 

To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as more prison stories and sermons from others like the late Richard Wurmbrand.

Today’s “reminder” is from China Partnership (https://chinapartnership.org/), a ministry that supports “the local, indigenous church already in China. Much like scaffolding supports a skyscraper, [they] support the church in China by offering resources, theological education, translation, prayer, and much more.”
