Several years ago, Back to Jerusalem missionaries responded to a deadly natural disaster in Tibet where hundreds of people were killed. Thousands lost everything they owned and were left homeless.

BTJ missionaries rushed in with aid such as food, water, tents, and other emergency supplies. Fast-forward to today and those missionaries are still there preaching the Gospel.

“So many families have come to Christ,” said one pastor in a private interview two days ago. “Mother and fathers are ridding their house of idols and children are singing and dancing in worship to Jesus Christ.”

The pastor showed several videos of families worshipping Jesus Christ in their homes. “The Tibetans in this village,” the pastor explained, “have several house churches that they attend in secret.” The videos cannot be openly shared for security reasons.

Tibet is one of the most difficult regions in the world for Christian missionaries. Contrary to popular belief, Christian missionaries in Tibetan Buddhist regions experience some of the most violent attacks in the world. One BTJ missionary shares the harsh reality of his experiences in his book, LEAVING BUDDHA.
