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.
Ukraine: The Only Weapon That Can Bring Life
“This weapon gives life, hope, changes life, gives happiness,” says a Ukrainian soldier while pointing to a New Testament provided by BTJ.

Dear BTJ friends, Greetings from the Netherlands! As a church, we are entering the season of Lent, remembering the sacrifice our Saviour made for us. When He was questioned by Pilate, He said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is

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

In the last few days a report from Norwegian football (soccer) magazine Josimar has once again given us insight in the suffering of North Koreans abroad. They found that 110 North Koreans were employed to help build the 2018 World Cup stadium in Saint Petersburg. The state slaves had to do hard physical labour from 7 am to midnight, seven
