Evangelism in the Mysterious Mountains of Guilin + Are China's NEW Visa Rules an Open Door? [China Compass]

Due to our ongoing China conferences, I am unable to record a new podcast this week. What follows is a lightly edited show from 2024, that focuses primarily on Guangxi, the province where the grandfather of my current travel partner, Dan Bausum, lived and served. We're going to be sharing some of the stories from today's podcast with the Chinese leaders this coming week. They love to hear the stories of the missionaries who first brought the Gospel to China! Donate to help cover the expenses for these Chinese pastors/leaders/missionaries: MCI3.org (or contact me for more info)! On today's podcast I discuss some of the latest rule changes for tourist visits to China. Then I talk in depth about Guangxi, including my first and only visit to the karst mountains of Guilin (2018), concluding with fascinating stories from the missionaries and martyrs who served in Guangxi before, including my friend&rsquo;s grandfather.
