Special to The TIMES
The community of northwest Arkansas is invited to take advantage of an unusual opportunity to hear from eye-witness, first-hand participants in current events in China and surrounding nations. Brother Yun, acclaimed author of "Heavenly Man" will be speaking at Bella Vista Christian Church at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 9. The evening is part of the "Bless Your Enemies" Tour sponsored by Back to Jerusalem, an organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for a mission movement of the Chinese Christian Church.
Brother Yun is a leader in the house-church movement in China where one of the largest revivals in history is taking place. He spent several years in prison and will be sharing his testimony of his miraculous escape from a maximum security prison in China. He will also be speaking on behalf of the mission movement called Back to Jerusalem.
Back to Jerusalem is what the Chinese Christians call their efforts to raise 100,00 missionaries to go into some of the most unreached and hostile areas of the world. They are determined to carry the gospel from the Great Wall in China to the Western Wall in Jerusalem -- and to the nations that lie between those walls. The Back to Jerusalem organization in the U.S. exists to lend support to these dedicated missionaries.
Other projects of Back to Jerusalem involve raising awareness of the hardships faced by Christians in areas hospital to their faith, supplying disaster relief, and assisting the missionary effort by supplying Bibles and financial support.
Everyone is invited; there is no charge for this event.
