The New BTJ Office that Isn’t

Ministries in China are different in the way that they do not necessarily have church buildings and ministry headquarters from which to run their operations.

They can’t.

They are illegal.

In many ways they operate as they did in the book of Acts when Christian outreach was conducted underground from places that operate in clandestine locations.

The first century church was heavily persecuted by the Romans. The brutal persecution against Christians by the Roman Caesars is graphically recorded in the history of the early church, yet the church continued to grow and spread.

Instead of launching a new ministry in the US to partner together with the Chinese that would cost tens of thousands or even millions of dollars, BTJ has partnered together with the underground house church networks in China through a different kind of way…business.

Our partners all around the world donated more than $4 million dollars to carry out the BTJ vision.  Most modern western ministry advisors would argue that BTJ needs a proper headquarters with at least a dozen full time staff members to adequately run the operation.  With representative offices in the UK, US, Canada, and the Netherlands it would seem that there is a need for a large home office, but that is not what we have been called to do.

Instead, we keep our headquarters in China.  In the homes of believers.  And in the leadership of the underground Christian pastors.

Actually, our new office in the US might be different according to today’s standards, but is not so different when compared to the early church.

Our new Back to Jerusalem office in the US harkens back to those times of the early church and in our latest podcast, we explain where, how, and why this unique way of operating just might change your entire idea of how missions should be run.

Dr. Eugene Bach is a known trouble-maker with an active imagination and sinful past. He has a PhD, but is not a real doctor, so please do not call for him during a medical emergency on an airplane when someone is having a heart attack. Eugene started working for Back to Jerusalem in the year 2000 after a backroom deal involving Chinese spies, the NRA, Swiss bankers, and a small group of Apostolic Christians that only baptize in Jesus’ name. He spends most of his time in closed countries attempting to topple governments by proclaiming the name of Jesus and not taking showers. From time-to-time he pretends to be a writer. He is not good at it, but everyone around him tries to humor him.

    Gostaria de contribuir através de boleto bancário, pois estou sem cartão de crédito ou débito , e me identifico com este modo de reunião em igreja subterrânea(doméstica), o modelo que vejo mais se aproximar da primitiva! Estou orando por vocês, e desejo cada dia me aproximar de vocês e caminhar junto para este sonho que Deus colocou em seus corações!

    Translation:
    I would like to contribute through bank slip, because I’m without credit or debit card , and I identify with this mode of meeting in underground church (domestic), the model that I see more approach the primitive!I am praying for you, and I wish every day to draw closer to you and walk together into this dream that God has placed in your hearts!
