As their website states: "The Back to Jerusalem vision (BJV) is a passion of the house churches of China. We pray about it daily, dream about it, and talk about it over breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"The Back to Jerusalem vision is not some small trivial matter for us, but the driving force of our lives and ministries. Many feel it is God’s ultimate call and destiny for the Chinese Church, the very reason they exist!

"The Back to Jerusalem vision is not a new vision. It was first given to a Chinese church called the “Jesus Family” in the late 1920s, and later to several different church groups in the 1930s and 40s. It is a vision of evangelism in the major unreached nations of the world.

In the history section of this website some of the experiences of these early pioneers are retold. They attempted to take the Gospel, on foot, through the Islamic world back to Jerusalem!

"We see how different groups and individuals responded to this vision, and how God intervened in their lives to glorify Himself. We also read about the suffering and persecution many of them suffered, and what happened with these faithful believers."
