Welcome to this special episode of China Compass, the first in a weekly series which I am calling “The Prison Pulpit”!

Westen is my pen name, for security reasons. If you want to see the missionary books I’ve published and learn more about our work, you can find easy links to everything @ PrayGiveGo.us!

Pray!  “Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Hebrews 13:3

Our family has been incredibly blessed by many who have stood with us through this season of light affliction. Thank you! If it were my dad writing this post, I know he would end with this:
