Chinese Pastors Imprisoned for "Fraud" / Before I Could Speak Chinese (22 Years Ago This Week)

Welcome to the China Compass Podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! 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). You can find links to everything else we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us.   Summary: I begin by explaining my upcoming plans for the podcast, then talk about my travels and adventures in China 22 years ago this week. (3:08) Next, we drop in on the Millionaire Missionary in Cairo in January of 1913 (19:04) and on William Milne in Malacca on January 18 of both 1812 and 1820. (24:00) After discussing how to Pray for China (32:44), we look at the unfortunate trend of Chinese house church pastors being falsely accused of “fraud”. Finally, we end with a call to pray (51:05) for Vanuatu (former home of John G. Paton) as they recover from a recent earthquake and deal with an aggressive China.   The Millionaire Missionary in Cairo (1913) (BordenofYale.com) https://chinacall.substack.com/p/crazy-colorful-cairo   The Memoirs of William Milne (200th Anniversary Edition) (https://a.co/d/bALLtAf) https://chinacall.substack.com/p/on-this-day-from-the-journals-of   All about Pray for China (PrayforChina.us)   Chinese Pastors Accused of Fraud https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2025/01/joint-statement-against-persecution-on-charges-of-fraud/ https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2022/12/accused-of-fraud/   Vanuatu Earthquake https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/539227/vanuatu-one-month-on-aftershocks-a-no-go-zone-and-anxiety https://apnews.com/article/vanuatu-earthquake-pacific-ocean-port-vila-magnitude-85f483b151f928cc25175038c33fb6d1   Tears for Tanna The Perseverance of John G.
