| 0:27.0 | names different names over the years especially in China trying to try to stay a little bit out of sight but missionary Ben is okay. Ben is my real name, my first name or at least part of it. |
| 0:40.0 | And it's good to be back talking about China with you. |
| 0:43.8 | My goal with this podcast is to teach some things about China that people might not have thought |
| 0:48.9 | about or noticed from someone who's been on the inside and also to encourage people obviously everywhere to pray for China. |
| 0:56.2 | Pray for China.US is our prayer ministry website I'll talk more about that later and then but also to encourage people to go to |
| 1:05.0 | China to visit China it's not as scary as a place as you might have thought it is |
| 1:10.0 | scary if you if you do the wrong things or run into the wrong people but |
