## Resource

On this week’s Prison Pulpit I am joined by Andrew Rappaport, host of the Rapp Report podcast (among other things) to discuss praying for China and equipping the Chinese church. This segment is part of a longer conversation Andrew and I had the other day. You can listen to the rest on his podcast (see the link below) or on my podcast during subsequent episodes. I’m off to Manila for a few days. God bless! Welcome to the China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X ( @chinaadventures ) where I share a new Chinese city to pray for every single day. Email me with any questions, comments, or complaints: bfwesten AT gmail dot com. Finally, check out my personal landing page PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, including our missions website, substack, and books. Why the Prison Pulpit?  The goal is to remind folks to pray for the persecuted as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them”    China Compass on the Christian Podcast Community https://strivingforeternity.org/show/china-compass/ The Rapp Report with Andrew Rappaport https://strivingforeternity.org/show/the-rapp-report/   Help Equip and Encourage China’s Persecuted Church Last Chance: if you (or your family or organization ) would like to “sponsor” a Chinese church leader, I can personally provide you with the name (or secure nickname) of the particular pastor/leader who you sponsor, and for whom you can continue to pray for going forward.
