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 talk about how John Piper read my blog to thousands of young people at three missions conferences, how we became friends, and the book I gave him today. (3:40) Speaking of Borden of Yale, I discuss William Borden’s missionary call at a student mission’s conference in 1906 and his arrival in Cairo in January 1913 (15:05). Finally, I take a look at the mixed legacy of Jimmy Carter. (27:00)
