We think you’ll be convinced as we talk about some incredible new ways to get the word of God to difficult-to-reach places.
In this episode of Missions Pulse, David Joannes interviews Eugene Bach, movement leader at Back to Jerusalem, about A New Era of Bible Distribution in Hostile Places.
We’re talking about a pill-sized hologram Bible. Say what!? Yep, you heard us right. You won’t believe it. Also, a Christian hackers conference and Chinese Christians’ passion to take the Gospel back to Jerusalem via the remaining unreached blocs of the world.
Eugene Bach talks about the pill-sized hologram Bible that Back to Jerusalem is creating. It illuminates the air particles in front of you so that people can read the word of God in closed and restricted-access countries.
Eugene Bach was trained in U.S. military special operations and served two tours in the Persian Gulf and Asia-Pacific region, serving primarily as a member of a rapid response team focusing on targeted threat elimination, counterterrorism, and security.
He has been working with the underground church in China for more than fifteen years, helping them to establish forward mission bases in closed countries around the world, including Iraq and Syria.
Eugene leads the Chinese mission movement called Back to Jerusalem, which provides essential support for Chinese missionaries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and he has written books about the underground church in China, North Korea, and Iran.
Just as Satan wanted to destroy the entire Jewish population to prevent the coming Messiah, sought to kill baby Moses, and hoped to extinguish every baby under the age of two—including Jesus—he still seeks to abort God’s plans. Yet from the first-century Church until now, revival and persecution are somehow connected in a powerful way. Eugene Bach hates persecution but says that the very thing that the enemy would use for evil will be turned to good.
Eugene Bach gives a historical backdrop to the back to Jerusalem movement that began roughly 100 years ago. Eugene, alongside Brother Yun, otherwise known as the Heavenly Man, are some of the key players in articulating this vision to the Western world.
Eugene Bach, movement leader at Back to Jerusalem, makes a startling comparison between Christians and the Napa Valley wine industry. “The grapes need to struggle to bring out distinct flavors.” This will blow your mind!
In 1995, David Joannes met Pastor Samuel Lamb, a fiery Chinese pastor who was imprisoned for 21 years of his life because of his faith in Jesus Christ. What ensues is a powerful conversation about overcoming adversity.
