“Risky” Blogging in China
Someone once wrote to me sharing the following concern:
“I’m amazed at how you’ve gotten away with having a blog about being a missionary in China! Your cover is pretty thin.”
I think this was supposed to be a warning of some sort, but the concern that this gentlemen had about my blog were generally unfounded. Here is what I wrote in response:
“No worries! If you look closely, you won’t find anything on the blog that gives away our precise location and especially nothing talking about WHEN or WHERE we will be on any given day. Our names are also aliases and there are other safeguards as well. We’ve never had any trouble except with ourselves… the biggest problem for missionaries in “closed” countries is the fear of man and a desire for security that tends to drown out boldness. So pray that we would “boldly proclaim” the Gospel, as John, Jesus, Stephen, Paul and others did!”
