Summary

I’m your host & China travel guide, missionary Ben. You can follow me on X @chinaadventures, and you can email me with any questions or comments @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. B.F. Westen is my pen name, btw.

If you want to learn more about our prayer and missionary projects and get any of the books I’ve helped to publish, check out the website www.PrayGiveGo.us for easy access to all of these things.

On last week’s podcast I shared my extended interview with Evangelina, and her beautiful song reminding us to pray for the persecuted. This week’s podcast features a ½ hour interview with her brother “Jaime”, who talks in depth about his arrest and deportation from China in 2011, when he was just 14.

Jaime is also one of the 10 being sentenced in Nashville. He, along with his sister and another young man, were sentenced on July 30th. Similarly to the other defendants (except for their dad, “Uncle Bundo”, who was given 6 months in jail), they were let off with a combination of home detention and probation. Here is the update that was posted online this week…

Update: The four defendants today have been given time served (which covers the 21 months of pretrial probation), followed by 90 days of home detention, followed by 3 years of probation.

But before my interview with Jaime, I spent some time remembering a brother, a friend, a missionary, who passed away in a plane crash in Canada (Merritt, BC) a few days ago (Sunday evening, July 27th), leaving behind a wife and five kids (from their late teens to mid 20s). For security reasons, I will just share his first name, Geoff. Listen to the podcast for my thoughts on his life and legacy.
