Episode Details

On today’s China Compass podcast, we begin by giving thanks for the surprising release of missionary pilot, Kevin Rideout, from the hands of Muslim terrorists in Niger. Then we talk about China’s new border control laws, which don’t seem that new at all. Next, we discuss two fascinating Chinese cities to pray for this weekend, before going back to recount the stories of C.S. Lewis, Burnt Marshwiggle, and the Brainwashing of Richard Wurmbrand.
