Summary

Nearly every week, I mention my little book, Unbeaten, about my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. The appendix, entitled Remember My Chains, is a message I’ve given all over the world about praying for the persecuted church. You can get the book (and appendix) at Unbeaten.vip.

I am turning once again to the late Richard Wurmbrand to speak to us on behalf of those who are currently being imprisoned and tortured for Christ.

For those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, here's a brief intro:

Romanian Lutheran minister who spent 14 years in Communist prisons.
After “escaping”, published ”Tortured for Christ" and testified to Congress.
Founded Voice of the Martyrs (but son Michael doesn’t trust VOM today).
Michael Wurmbrand provides his father’s books for free in many languages.

0:00.0	Welcome to the China Compass podcast. I am your China Travel Guide missionary. Ben back once again to talk to you today about the persecuted church. This is prison pulpit number 12,
0:24.7	if you're counting, which I'm barely counting, trying to keep my notes in order. Prison
0:30.2	pulpit number 12. Last week, I did what I called kind of a mashup of the normal prison
0:35.9	pulpit podcast together with the normal China Compass
0:39.2	podcast. I didn't know if I was going to have time to do another China Compass normal podcast
0:44.0	on the weekend, and I was able to do that. So I'm going to go back in time and re-number last
0:49.6	weeks as number 11, which means this is number 12 of this prison pulpit series. I think I'm going to
0:55.7	continue doing this this year. I'd hate to stop talking about those who are suffering for the
1:02.8	sake of the gospel overseas, especially Pastor Wangyi and China and others like him.
1:06.7	But I really enjoy pulling from Richard Wormbrand's story. He was a representative of the persecuted
1:13.9	church. He suffered for many years. He spoke for the persecuted church. And today is one example of that.
1:19.7	I want to read and share with you here in a few minutes. I'm going to mention what I mention
1:23.5	every single week, my little book, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation,
1:29.0	and deportation from China in 2018. I don't talk a lot about myself, well, I tell a lot of stories,
1:33.8	I guess, but I don't give a lot of details, partly for security reasons. I would like to go back
1:37.7	to China someday. I was deported in 2018. I was given a five-year ban. It's been six years. They still won't let me in, so maybe I'm not
1:45.5	doing well at keeping a low profile. The appendix to my book, I've got a couple different ones in there.
1:52.1	One of them is entitled, Remember My Chains, and it's a message, a sermon that I've given all over
1:56.8	the world about praying for the persecuted church more biblically. You can get the book,
2:01.6	my story, and the little sermon, both in the book, at unbeaten.vip. Unbeaten.com. Or you can just search
2:10.2	unbeaten on Amazon, and it should show up pretty close to the top there. It hasn't sold a ton of
2:15.7	copies, but there's not a lot of unbeaten
	...
