Summary
Welcome to another episode in the “Prison Pulpit” series on the Fight Laugh Feast network’s China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, still trying to get settled here in Malaysia.

Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series?
To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as more prison stories and sermons from others like the late Richard Wurmbrand.
Today on my daily evening China prayer post (@chinaadventures), the county in focus was Hezheng in Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, NW China. This is the region where we lived for many years.
As I was looking for pics to include in the post (the region is beautiful, with many large mountains, not to mention countless villages nestled in and around all the foothills), my mind kept turning to a few of the PEOPLE I know (or knew) from this county, and one in particular: Brother Bai.
Today I want to tell you his story, at least the parts that I know, and encourage you to pray for him (and others like him), as if you were with them; as if you were in their shoes (or lack thereof), living in their mountain valleys, isolated from other believers, marginalized by the non-Christian majority, forgotten by all but a few in the outside world.
