The Back To Jerusalem Podcast
Many mistake the idea of Back to Jerusalem as a movement of the Chinese church to evangelize Jerusalem. However, Back to Jerusalem is the goal of the Chinese church to evangelize the unreached peoples from eastern provinces of China, westwards towards Jerusalem. Our organization partners with the church of China to not only evangelize the religiously oppressed areas of Asia, but to also train and send Chinese missionaries into the unreached regions of the globe, including Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu nations. This podcast is a publication of the 501(c)(3) organization Back To Jerusalem and chronicles our experiences from the field.

The General
41 travellers made their way through Erbil airport in the autonomous region of Kurdistan, Iraq. Our team included pastors, a Brazilian diplomat, a former Pentagon worker, missionaries, children and individuals who were passionate about the Back to Jerusalem vision. The group was made up of people from the US, Canada, Brazil, the UK and Poland, who had made the choice

It is being reported that Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau is dead. He blew himself up after refusing surrender to warriors of ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), a rival terrorist group and ISIS affiliate, who were chasing him. Both Boko Haram and ISWAP have been terrorizing Northern Nigeria for many years. As well as killing, looting, and kidnapping civilians,

A strength of many terror groups is their use of rugged terrain, where they are hard to track down and eliminate. Terror groups which take over cities become a relatively easy target. But once they retreat into mountains, jungles, and deserts, they stay out of sight, and can prepare attacks unnoticed. ISIS, expelled from their former strongholds Mosul and Raqqa,

To help us pray effectively for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria, it is important to have a basic understanding of their situation. This article is a very brief overview of the situation in Nigeria and why Christians there are facing trouble. Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and has over 200 million people, about two thirds of

We rejoiced when we heard the news of Asia Bibi arriving safely in Canada to join her family there after years of imprisonment. However, this outcome is the better of two evils, not a good one. Because it remains a tragedy when Christians have to leave their homelands. On a much greater scale, we have seen Christians leave the Middle

Recently while serving in Iraq, the Lord reminded me of the significant power of our worship & prayer. I took a keyboard into the women’s safe house for ISIS survivors and began to play & sing in the kitchen by myself. My playing is very simple & sometimes doesn’t sound that great but I do it out of obedience to

What is left of the Caliphate? Not much by ways of organisation and a geographical power base. But they left a legacy behind that the country of Iraq is only beginning to come to terms with. More than 200 mass graves have been identified in provinces formerly held by ISIS, and nobody knows how many more there are. Some graves

‘There are no words’ was how the UN described the situation of children in the Syrian suburb of Eastern Ghouta. Syria has been so thoroughly devastated by the cruelty of the different warring fractions that we just don’t know what to say anymore. No heart wrenching pictures, no stories of unimaginable desperation, and no evidence of war crimes has been

Yesterday I attended a Christmas service for children in my church. Scores of little angles, shepherds and wise men, excitedly and nervously acted out the greatest miracle in the universe, God being born as a baby. Christmas is a feast of innocence. A virgin girl becomes pregnant, her loyal fiancée stays with her as she becomes mother of the only

A recent trip to Iraq earlier this month allowed me to see the people of Iraq post-ISIS. There are still pockets of resistance, but for the most part ISIS has finally been pushed out of Iraq. It has been more than three years since the murdering forces of the Islamic State first busted through the border of Iraq to kill,
