Summary
Welcome to this special episode of the China Compass Podcast, #17 in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series! 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). To learn more about our various ministry endeavors and to get any of the missionary biographies I’ve helped to publish, please visit PrayGiveGo.us!
My little book Unbeaten tells the story of my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. One of the appendices, Remember My Chains, is a message I’ve given all over the world about praying for the persecuted church. You can get both the book and the accompanying sermon, at Unbeaten.vip, or read the latter for free on my China Call Substack: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/remember-my-chains
In the Face of Persecution, What Will I Do?
The original article was posted on Wang Yi’s personal blog in October of 2018, then shared widely the week after his arrest in December of 2018. Please continue to earnestly pray for Pastor Wang Yi and the other brothers and sisters in Chengdu.

Final Petitions of the Prisoner
May the Lord bless me with so much reverent fear for him to the point where I am not afraid of any power that does not fear him.
May the Lord grant me peaceful resistance, positive perseverance and joyful disobedience in all matters of conscience, faith and the church, and in everything that relates to the flesh, and damage to external rights, may he grant me the power of patience and silence.
May the Lord remove the potential in this process to lash out in hate and resentment.
May he have mercy on me and support me in my weakness when I am in isolation.
May the Lord help me so that from the day of my detention I will pray every day for all those in power related to my case, as well as officials in the police force, national security, the prosecutor’s office, the court and other government agencies.
May the Lord choose among them repentant and believing children and have mercy on their lowly souls.
May [he] lead at least one of them to faith through this process, and give my heart great joy and comfort.
I also ask the Lord Jesus to remove the burden and concerns for my wife, family, the church, and everything else during my detention, so that I will entrust everything to the Lord, be faithful only to the Lord, and focus on practicing these fourteen resolutions as my longings for and service to my family, as shepherding and teaching my congregation, and as fulfilling my responsibility to the kingdom of God.
