How You Can Help: Bringing Hope to Turkey
Operation is underway in Turkey to build tiny homes for people who have lost everything in the recent earthquakes.

I just returned from Turkey where the official death toll has now reached over 50,000 people. In reality however, those numbers are much higher, with some saying as high as 250,000 deaths. This sobering number became a reality as we drove through the streets of Antakya (The Biblical city of Antioch) and witnessed street after street of high-rise buildings that

“And the Spirit and the bride say: Come!” Jesus promised that he would return to pick up his glorious Bride; the church that has been prepared for about two thousand years. The Holy Spirit partakes in this same desire. When we share about Jesus´ return and cry out “Maranatha” the Spirit testifies and fires up our spirit, longing and dreaming

In 2022, the world witnessed massive demonstrations in the streets of Iran. The people are still desperately fighting for change and clinging to the idea of freedom.

Going Back to the Basics of First-Century Missions The future of missions is radically returning to the methodology of the first-century church as found in the book of Acts.

If you feel that the Lord has

What is a vision trip? Our vision trips are short 3-4 day trips to one of the countries where our Chinese missionaries are working to share the gospel and where they are connecting with the local community. We never know exactly how God will use this trip in your life, but we are convinced it will encourage you and expand

Looking Back on the BTJ Hackers Conference & Ambassadors Meeting Back to Jerusalem is a vision, not an organization. It is the vision God gave to the Chinese Church to take the Gospel from China back to where the Great Commission began: Back to Jerusalem. This area between China and Jerusalem, known also as the 10/40 window, contains the most

What is Back to Jerusalem? And how to explain it? Emergency aid in Syria, business in Vietnam, missionary training in South Asia, aquaponics in the desert, welding lessons, a guy with a cap podcasting his opinions on a thousand and one subjects, books about revival, persecution in Sudan, training for Sunday school teachers, hackers for Jesus, Bibles for North Korea,

It is always hard to watch when disaster strikes. Having gone through one myself, I well recall the helpless feeling one has as everything around you falls apart. The desperate feeling of “where do we even begin and how will we ever recover?” In some ways you never do, but when help arrives, hope begins to return! That’s why we
