Summary
In today’s podcast, I begin by talking about a great teaching opportunity in China (1:12) followed by an explanation of the “Borden Myth” (6:10). Then I work through a number of current China-related news topics (20:42). Finally, I turn to the province of the week, Guizhou, (40:32) and a couple of moving stories (45:16) of missionaries and martyrs.
Wanna Teach in China? (bfwesten at gmail dot com)
“I'm the only foreign English teacher in my university and the first one here since 2019! I've been teaching Spoken English to English majors in the College of Languages and Literature, which gives more opportunity to talk with students. I've been asked to teach Public Speaking and Debate next semester, so that should be fun and provide opportunities for good conversations.
I've heard the university is hoping to increase the number foreign teachers in 2025 to about 10.. I'm wondering if you might have any brothers/sisters who are interested in spending some time in China. Our family would be thankful to have some like-minded folks around and I am happy to assist in the process. Salary is about 12k rmb (also, free housing and airfare reimbursement).”

| 1:18.6 | person at a church in Tennessee a couple of years ago now, a year and a half ago, I guess it was. |
| 1:24.8 | I was speaking there. There's a whole other story involved in that conversation that's that I can tell another day. There was a Chinese visitor |
| 1:31.4 | the day I was there speaking at the church and that person would just happen to be there, |
| 1:36.1 | was invited there. Anyway, long story short, that person, that Chinese person ended up getting |
| 1:39.6 | saved and I think is back in China now. And so it's a cool testimony that I've heard from some of the |
| 1:45.1 | leadership there at the church that I didn't even know the full story until much, much later. |
| 1:49.5 | But one of the men who was there that day is currently back in China. He had been there previously. |
