Summary
Welcome to China Compass! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us).

I've been in Malaysia for a couple of days, primarily in Malacca, working on The Memoirs of William Milne (see PrayGiveGo.us on Oct 1 for the Kindle version).
I almost got robbed by some middle-aged Chinese guys walking to my hotel yesterday, and it reminded me of my previous adventures in Malaysia…
I want to point out that France has just proved the point about the Tibet/Xizang question last week…
Pray for China (Zhejiang/North Carolina)
Zhejiang is our province of the week, as well as today’s Pray for China post on X (@chinaadventures):
Sep 21 - Pray for Huzhou (“Hu-joe”), aka Lake District, in northern Zhejiang (浙江) Province on China's eastern seaboard. Zhejiang (“Juh-jiang”) one of China’s most populated and important provinces that nobody has ever heard of. South of Shanghai on China’s eastern seaboard, it is aptly paired up with North Carolina for prayer in our intercession scheme, which you can find @ https://prayforchina.us/
