Summary

Welcome to the 45th episode in the “Prison Pulpit” series on the China Compass podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, recording today from Malaysia.

Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us!

Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series?

The goal is to remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”). I do this (in part) by sharing Pastor Wang Yi’s published writings in China, as well as anecdotes from other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand.

Pray for Brother Daniel in Nepal! (Heb 13:3)

0:24.2	I will actually be in Thailand the next couple of days.
0:27.1	I should be back home by the time I do my normal weekend podcast.
0:30.9	If you listen, you can be praying for me as I travel.
0:33.1	I've got some research to do and some old friends and missionary friends to meet up with there that I haven't
0:38.0	seen in quite some time. You can follow or message me on TwitterX at China Adventures where I

1:07.5	. Normally, on this midweek podcast, I talk about praying for the persecuted, those who are in prison for the gospel's sake. And there's a couple of things on that topic. I want to mention briefly. We have a friend. I don't know if any of you know who he is. Probably some of you out there do follow him on Facebook. I won't say his name just for security reasons, but he is a missionary primarily to Nepal,
1:28.7	but he does a lot of street preaching and ministry around the world, different places,
1:31.9	mostly English-speaking countries around the world, but then in Nepal, they're working with
1:35.7	the local people. Anyway, he has been arrested the last day or so and taken in for, I guess,
1:41.4	long-term questioning, probably for a couple of weeks by immigration there in Nepal.
1:45.0	Nepal does not permit the open preaching of the gospel, or at least they have laws against proselytizing the local people if you're a foreign.
1:53.0	There's different laws. I don't know what they all are exactly. He's been kind of pushing the limits for a long time, but things had gone okay, some close calls, I guess, over the years.
2:01.7	Anyway, he was taken in so we can be praying for him.
