This conversation will open your eyes to the creative ways God's Kingdom is advancing in the darkest places. 🌍📱

Eugene Bach is the leading voice in the Back to Jerusalem movement, author, strategist, and host of the Back to Jerusalem Podcast. For over 27 years, he has lived and worked in China, serving as a bridge between the underground Chinese house church and global partners while helping mobilize Chinese missionaries to reach unreached people groups across the 10/40 window. He is the author of multiple books including China and End Time Prophecy, I Stand With Christ, The Underground Church, and The Lame Shall Take The Prey, and annually hosts the Hackers Conference where tech experts create innovative tools to share the Gospel in closed nations.

1. Witness History Unfolding: You'll discover the untold story of the world's largest revival happening right now in China, where 28,000-30,000 people come to Christ every single day despite intense persecution. Eugene Bach provides firsthand accounts and statistics you won't hear anywhere else about 140-170 million Chinese believers living out radical faith.
2. Learn Underground Church Strategies: Eugene reveals how Chinese believers creatively share the Gospel using hidden Bible apps, hologram devices, and meeting in factories and businesses to outsmart government surveillance and facial recognition technology. These innovative ministry methods will challenge your own approach to sharing faith and overcoming obstacles.
3. Answer Your Mission Calling: Whether you're called to go, send, or support missionaries, this episode clarifies how Western Christians can actively partner with the Back to Jerusalem movement to reach the 9/10 unreached people groups between China and Jerusalem. You'll gain practical insights on representing Christ well in hostile environments and discover your role in completing the Great Commission.

1. Represent Christ Always: Even when you're being cheated, overcharged, or treated unfairly, you must reflect Christ's light rather than the darkness around you. People in darkness are drawn to Christian nations and communities not by accident—they recognize the transformative power of the Gospel in how believers live, even when it costs you personally.
2. Freedom of Speech Matters: The first thing the enemy does in every nation—whether communist, Islamic, Hindu, or Buddhist—is restrict freedom of speech because the Word must go forth to complete the Great Commission. Christians must vigilantly protect and use their freedom to speak truth, recognizing that silence, not lies, is the true enemy of truth.
3. You Can't Delegate Obedience: The Great Commission isn't a vision you can delegate to others—it's a command that has you, and you only have three choices: go, send, or disobey. Every believer must actively discern their unique calling in completing the Great Commission, whether that means going to the mission field, training and sending missionaries, or supporting those already serving.
4. Integrate Faith Into Everything: The Chinese underground church thrives because believers don't separate their faith from family, business, or daily life—everything is interconnected in one community of Gospel witness. Instead of compartmentalizing your spiritual life from work and relationships, look for ways to naturally weave your faith into every aspect of your everyday activities.
5. Persecution Reveals Desperation: When people risk life, freedom, and family to access God's Word—hiding Bibles on secret devices and meeting illegally—it reveals how desperately valuable Scripture truly is. Don't take for granted your easy access to multiple Bibles, apps, and churches; approach God's Word with the same hunger and desperation that persecuted believers demonstrate daily.

1. Pray for the Persecuted Church Daily: Set a daily reminder on your phone to pray specifically for Chinese believers and underground church missionaries facing persecution, detention, and surveillance. Visit BackToJerusalem.com to get current prayer updates and learn the names of specific leaders and regions that need intercession right now.
2. Examine Your Speech Witness: For one week, pay attention to how you respond when you're frustrated, cheated, or treated unfairly—are you reflecting Christ's light or the darkness around you? Ask a trusted friend or spouse to lovingly hold you accountable to representing Jesus well, especially in difficult interactions with customer service, difficult people, or stressful situations.
3. Choose Your Great Commission Role: Prayerfully evaluate whether God is calling you to go, send, or support missions work, then take one concrete action this month—research a mission trip, connect with a missionary to support financially, or sign up for cross-cultural training. Remember that you cannot delegate obedience to the Great Commission; determine your specific role and take the first step forward in faith.
