Summary

Welcome to another special episode in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series on the China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, back from Asia. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). To learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of the missionary biographies I’ve published, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us!

 

Why the Prison Pulpit?

I want to remind you once again why I do this weekly Prison Pulpit series: to encourage you to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us, by sharing from his own words and sermons, as well as many stories and sermons from the late Richard Wurmbrand. 

 

Bucharest Below!

Speaking of Wurmbrand, just a couple hours after posting last week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit, my flight from Oman to London took me directly over Iraq (dry and desolate), Turkey (green and gorgeous), and then after crossing the Black Sea, Bucharest, Romania, where Richard Wurmbrand was from, and where he was arrested and spent years in solitary confinement! 

I’ve been to Bucharest once, even meeting a few folks who KNEW Wurmbrand, but I don’t know the city well enough to locate anything in particular from the sky. However, it was fascinating nonetheless!

Also, and I promise this is the last time I’ll mention this until NEXT year, Sunday, May 25, was the anniversary of my arrest and interrogation seven years ago…UNBEATEN.VIP!

I'm your China travel guide missionary bin back from Asia. I was in Asia

for a couple weeks, and then on the way home, I had about six stopovers between Malaysia and

Oklahoma. I could go through those real quick, I guess. I did a podcast from Oman the other day.

I was in Thailand, Oman, London, Ireland, Boston,

DFW, and then back to Oklahoma. Almost got stuck in DFW, of all places. I almost home,

had to take an Amtrak from DFW from home to Oklahoma, and that's where the hiccups started.

my, to where I needed to be on time. But it was like going back to China or Peru, the way he

remind everyone again why I do this particular weekly prison pulpit series. It's to encourage

1:39.1

all believers to pray for people like Pastor Wang Yi from Early Rain Church in China and others like

1:46.7

him who are persecuted today in our day, in our era, as Hebrews 13-3 teaches us to do to remember

1:54.3

those who are in prison as bound with them, as bound with them.

1:58.3

There's something there deeper than what we normally think about
