The Back to Jerusalem Podcast

Back To Jerusalem

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. This podcast is a publication of the 501(c)(3) organization Back To Jerusalem and chronicles our experiences from the field.

    What if there were two Jesuses to choose from?

He connects this choice to the surprising story of Jesus Barabbas and asks which Jesus we are choosing today.

    Episode 812: Climate change reveals the real China crisis

    Eugene examines how China’s 2017 restrictions on NGOs drove most foreign organizations out of the country. He argues that the loss of these organizations, many of them Christian, has left China with fewer resources to respond to natural disasters and humanitarian needs, while persecution of Christians continues to impact the nation.

    Episode 807: What The Pope Got Wrong About the Tower of Babel

    Eugene Bach reports from Germany, reflecting on Pope Leo's recent comparison of AI to the Tower of Babel. Eugene digs into Genesis 11 and offers a mission field perspective the pope didn't mention: that Babel's true failure was resisting God's first command to go forth, multiply, and scatter across the earth. He traces this east versus west movement throughout scripture, ties it to the Great Commission, and shares how he actually uses AI in missions work today. A thoughtful, unexpected take on a hot topic through the lens of reaching the nations.

    Episode 806: Missionaries in War

He connects a 100 year prayer movement started by persecuted Moravian believers under Count Zinzendorf to the missionaries God is raising up from China today. Many of these workers are serving in the most dangerous regions on earth, and war has forced some to move their families to safety. Eugene shares what they're facing and how you can help support missionaries caught in the middle of active war zones.

    Episode 804: I'm Confused About Iran

    Episode 803: Trump Goes to China

    When President Trump and his entourage — including Elon Musk and Tim Cook — traveled to Beijing, they left behind something they NEVER part with: their phones, laptops, and iPads. Most people missed what that really means. Back to Jerusalem missionaries have been warning about China's aggressive digital surveillance for years — and now the world's most powerful tech leaders and political figures are confirming it with their own actions.

    Episode 802: Now is the Time to Visit China

    Episode 801: Racist Jesus

    Was Jesus racist? A Buddhist professor and a progressive California pastor both claimed this passage in Mark 7 proves Jesus only cared about Jews. Eugene unpacks the story of the Syrophoenician woman through a lens he learned sitting with China's underground house church, revealing layers in the text that reframe everything. Sometimes the most powerful Bible teaching comes not from those with the most resources, but from those with only crumbs.

    Episode 800: Death Row Miracle with Shagufta Kausar

    Shagufta Kausar spent 8 years in a Pakistani death row cell for blasphemy—beaten, isolated, and offered freedom if she'd deny Jesus. Instead, she prayed for her enemies, saw visions of Christ, survived prison earthquakes, and watched God turn guards into friends who begged for her prayers. Her kids witnessed torture yet held onto faith through trauma. Now free, her story screams: Nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39).
