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 Chinese underground House Church has suffered intense persecution in the last half century, but the intense revival fire that they have experienced during times of the most intense oppression can only be explained as a miracle from God. During the darkest hours of persecution, it is easy for the Chinese church to feel isolated, alone, and forgotten by the

Today Leah Sharibu turns eighteen in a Boko Haram terrorist camp. PSJUK, an organisation of Nigerians in the UK, is organising a birthday event in her honour. There will be ‘performances, poetry and prayer’.

As of May the 1st, new rules came into effect in China about what is expected of church leaders. In order to be allowed to teach, they have to apply for entrance into the national government database of clergy. Getting in is hard and so is staying in. They will be rated on their faithfulness to the party and can

For 30 days, we shared stories from those in China who have suffered for Christ and the greatest lessons they learned. Their

The Chinese church has had to be very out-of-the-box through many decades of persecution. Where regular church services in regular buildings with regular pastors were impossible, they found ways to adapt and grow. With that, the Chinese church became the first country where there was a truly massive underground church of tens of millions. They set an example of adaptability

Are Christians really persecuted in Nigeria? If you have followed our recent reporting about the situation in Nigeria, this may seem a strange question. But authorities in Nigeria itself do not readily agree there is a problem with religious persecution. Open Doors recently called Nigeria a persecution hotspot. Deaths due to Islamic terrorism were up 60% last year and nearly
