Summary

Welcome to this special episode of the China Compass Podcast, #19 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 www.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

Richard Wurmbrand: Once again, we are going to turn to the late Richard Wurmbrand to speak to us on behalf of those of the persecuted church who are currently being imprisoned and tortured for Christ.

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

Lutheran minister in Romania. 14 years in prison, including 3 in solitary confinement.

After “escaping”, published ”Tortured for Christ" in the 1960s and testified to Congress.

Helped start Voice of the Martyrs (but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM).

Sermons in Solitary Confinement

No publishing date, but most likely in the early 1970s, just a few years after he fled from Romania…

Today we looked at the second half of the Preface…
