Welcome to this special episode of the

The China Compass Podcast, this special episode of the China Compass podcast.

This is now number 25 in the weekly Prison Pulpit series.

I am your China Travel Guide, missionary Ben, also known as

B. F. Westin, that's my pen name that I use with some of the writing that I do and the publishing

that I do of mostly older missionary biographies that have been out of print or need to be

400 and something now, and we'll continue going until we get down to the smaller cities and smaller

counties, of which there are many, many thousands. In the evenings,

we're going through the counties and cities of one province in particular. Again, this is on

Twitter X at China Adventures. In the evening's Gansu province is our focus. That's the province

that I personally lived in and experienced most of my time

in China, 15 years or so that we were there in China from 2003 until about 2018 when I was

unceremoniously deported in 2018. You can read my story. You can check out the substack.

You can see links to the different ministry endeavors

were involved in, all the different things, missionary biographies, everything is available at

pray give go.us. Pray give go.us. You can find everything there. Once again, on this midweek

shorter China Compass podcast, we are going to turn to Richard
