Welcome to Season 3 of the Olasky interview.

I'm Jill Nelson.

We have a great lineup of interviews this season.

For those of you who might be new to the podcast, you will have an opportunity to hear World

Editor-in-Chief Marvin Olasky interview some of the nation's leading authors, politicians,

journalists, and academics.

Short excerpts of those interviews are published in World Magazine and air on the world and everything in it.

This is your chance to hear the full-length interview.

And we also bring Marvin on to tell us a bit more, how each of these people landed on his radar,

what he found most interesting in

their conversation, and what's happened since these conversations took place. Marvin, a new season.

Great to see you again. Oh, good to be with you, Jill. Well, we're kicking off season three with

Bob Fu, a pastor and activist originally from China. He now lives in Texas and is one of the leading voices

in the world for the persecuted church in China. He's the founder of China Aid, which provides

legal help to Chinese Christians. Now, Fu left China in 1996, but he hasn't entirely escaped

persecution. I'd like to play a clip from the National Day of Prayer and

Repentance in September 2020, during which Fu talks about a phone call he got from his wife.

My wife just never ago called me, said the Communist Party even sent their agents, thugs in the United States, went to my home right now, surrounding and harassing my wife and children.

Now, this is a story world has covered in depth.

Marvin, tell us a little bit more about what happened.

Weird story starts with a fellow named Miles Kwok, who is said to be an agent of the Chinese communist government.

October 2020, he organized four busloads of protesters to surround Fu's home in Midland, Texas.
