What is the "Back to Jerusalem Movement"?

The Back To Jerusalem movement (Chinese:传回耶路撒冷运动) is a Jesus Follower movement begun in China by Chinese believers to send missionaries to all of the Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim peoples who live "between" China and Jerusalem. They believe that the Back to Jerusalem Movement is a call from God for the Chinese church to preach the gospel and establish fellowships of believers in all countries, cities, towns, and ethnic groups between China and Jerusalem and worldwide.

They plan to follow the "Silk Road" which was the path by which the East (Asian) world first connected economically with the Western world.

In the bible, God led Paul to the West, from Israel, toward Greece & Rome. So the theory is that the gospel has been traveling West around the world for 2000 years. Going through Europe to North and South America, Australia and now Asia/China. To fulfill the Great Commission given to us by Jesus, the globe must circled back to Jerusalem. The Chinese are called to complete this!

It is interesting to look at the quality of life: human rights, poverty, life expectancy, etc. to the East & West of Israel. We need more of Jesus & His teachings to the East!

Here they come!!!!
