On today’s Prison Pulpit podcast, which I am recording at the end of “International Religious Freedom Day”, we look at a handful of difficult situations involving persecution that are happening in various parts of the world today, including Turkey, China, Russia, and more, of course always “remembering” to pray!
Why the Prison Pulpit?
The goal for these past two years has been to remind Christians to pray for our persecuted brethren as Hebrews 13:3 clearly encourages us to do: “Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them.” Pastor Wang Yi, who is currently in prison, and the late Richard Wurmbrand have been our prison guides.
