Summary

Just as we did on Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, today I want to read a special story from Richard Wurmband’s book In God's Underground (https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/IGU-english.pdf).

For those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, here's a brief intro:

Lutheran minister in Romania. 14 years in prison, including 3 in solitary confinement.
After “escaping” abroad, published ”Tortured for Christ" in the 1960s and testified to Congress.
Helped start Voice of the Martyrs, but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM.
Michael Wurmbrand’s VOM letter: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html

Nearly every week, I mention the Appendix to my little book, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. This appendix, entitled Remember My Chains, is the written version of a message I’ve given all over the world about remembering and praying for the persecuted church. You can get my book and the sermon, Remember My Chains, at Unbeaten.vip.

0:00.0	Welcome to the last year
0:16.0	Welcome to the China Compass podcast.
0:22.9	I'm your host, missionary Ben, and this is the special episode of the prison pulpit.
0:28.9	This is number 10 of this prison pulpit series.
0:32.4	I'm recording this on Christmas Eve, and I normally wouldn't necessarily just do a random podcast on Christmas Eve
0:40.1	or Christmas Day, but there is some really fascinating moving material from former prisoner
0:48.2	for Christ, Richard Wormbrand, that touches on Christmas and Christmas Eve. And it's a story that it really
0:56.2	moved me when I first read it a few years ago. And I wanted to share it with you today, probably
1:01.2	Christmas Day or after that you'd be listening to this podcast. And I just really want to share this
1:06.0	with you. I'm excited about this. It won't take too long. Almost every week, I mentioned the appendix to my little
1:12.9	book, Unbeaten, which talks about my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018.

1:23.9	the written version of a message I've given all over the world about remembering and praying for the persecuted church. You can get my book and the little sermon
1:34.2	that's included in the book at unbeaten.vip. Unbeaten.vip. I've shared before where the term
1:41.6	unbeaten comes from. You can listen in previous podcasts or you can
1:45.6	read the introduction to the book yourself. I mentioned that because today and really every
1:51.0	time we get together for this little prison pulpit podcast, I want to emphasize this idea.
1:57.9	This is the whole point is that we would remember those who are in chains as bound
2:01.8	with them. I want to give voice to men who are either currently in prison like Pastor Wong-E,
2:08.3	who most weeks I'm sharing something that he's written, but a couple times back on Thanksgiving
2:13.1	a few weeks ago. And then today I'm going to be reading a special story from Richard Wormbrand, who really is the OG. He's the one that is most well known in the last couple
2:23.2	generations for being in prison for his testimony from coming through the torture that he went
