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.

Good News In Nigeria!
Nigeria is frequently in the news these days for terrible things. Religious persecution, corruption, terrorism, mass kidnapping, poverty, and near total economic collapse. But, not all the news from Nigeria is bad news and BTJ gets to be a part of the exciting things that God is doing there. Three years ago, Eugene did a podcast about a beautiful grassroots

A silent tragedy is unfolding in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, and it is high time we pay attention. In November, rumours started to emerge of atrocities in Tigray after the Ethiopian army moved in to squash an opposition group. What made this extra concerning was that Eritrean soldiers seemed to have crossed the border and had joined in the war efforts.

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’. This is what they write about their reasons for marking this special day: “Whilst the world looks to freedom post-pandemic, Leah Sahribu remains locked down in

There are finally signs that North Korea will resume trade with China in the near future. Meanwhile the border closure has led to famine in North Korea and full prisons in China. There are not many nations in the world that have to erect high voltage fences and concrete barriers, and issue border guards with shoot-to-kill orders only to keep

Several weeks ago, we began posting a ‘30-day Survival Guide for End Time Persecution’ on Dingdash.com. Around the world, persecution against Christians is on the increase, but the underground church in China has walked this path for decades. For 30 days, we shared stories from those in China who have suffered for Christ and the greatest lessons they learned. Their

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,

Myanmar had long been in the grip of a brutal military junta. But in 2011, democratic reforms began. A year later Aung San Suu Kyi, who received a Nobel peace prize for her non-violent resistance against the regime, won a seat in parliament and was elected as leader of the nation in 2015. The country seemed to be firmly on

In a recent article, we shared about increasing pressures on food supplies in North Korea resulting from the long border closure in response to Covid-19. First and foremost, these shortages are affecting regular families of North Koreans. But foreigners residing in North Korea are not safe from food shortage either. The Russian diplomat family who recently left the country, told

Your prayers are once again urgently needed on behalf of the church in Nigeria. Pastor Bulus Yakuru was kidnapped by Boko Haram two months ago, in a Christmas Eve attack on a Christian village near Chibok. Seven people were killed and Pastor Yakuru was taken alive. His captors have now set an ultimatum for this Wednesday. If the government does

It was an unusual picture. A Russian diplomate, his wife and children and a bunch of suitcases on a hand powered railway trolly, pushing their way over the North Korean- Russian border. They were part of a small remaining expat community in Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital. Since China’s first Covid outbreak, North Korea has shut its borders, in an attempt
