Caption transcript for “Back to Jerusalem” with Brother Yun

• 00:18 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel
• 00:22 is that they might be saved,
• 00:25 for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek,
• 00:28 for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
• 00:44 Shalom and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 00:46 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 00:47 And welcome to our program on the "Back to Jerusalem" movement.
• 00:50 This is so exciting Katharine.
• 00:52 I have to say that to be connected to the underground church in China
• 00:56 with the power that they are expressing and bringing the
• 00:58 Gospel to the whole world with their eyes on Jerusalem...
• 01:01 You know the reason why they got in touch with us
• 01:03 is because of our "Gate" series.
• 01:05 You may remember
• 01:06 we did a series on the Gates of Jerusalem
• 01:08 which you can see on line or you can purchase from us.
• 01:10 But we have a mandate to teach about the
• 01:15 ancient history of the Land
• 01:16 as well as the prophetic future.
• 01:18 But one of the most wonderful things
• 01:19 that is happening right now is that
• 01:21 God is raising Israel to salvation and the
• 01:24 nations to salvation at the same time.
• 01:26 Yes, yes.
• 01:27 It's like life from the dead.
• 01:28 It's happening at the this time.
• 01:30 You know Lazarus was dead, right?
• 01:33 And God...
• 01:35 We know that from the Scripture but
• 01:36 it's almost like Israel is
• 01:38 like a picture of Lazarus.
• 01:40 God is calling Israel forth out of the dead.
• 01:43 And just like God raised Lazarus
• 01:45 he has raised his people up
• 01:47 and they have sinew,
• 01:48 they are moving, they are alive
• 01:50 just as the Chinese church
• 01:52 has been called forth at this time
• 01:55 to stand with Israel.
• 01:56 They understand the Scripture.
• 01:58 They read it, they see it,
• 01:59 they don't replace themselves,
• 02:01 they don't take out,
• 02:03 they just say this is what it says and
• 02:05 we're going to fulfill it.
• 02:06 And that's what they're doing
• 02:07 and so they've been since the early 20th century,
• 02:10 as Israel was also getting ready to be reborn
• 02:13 the Chinese church was born with a new generation
• 02:16 of believers with their eyes on the 10/40 window
• 02:20 which as you know is that area
• 02:22 between the 10th parallel and the 40th parallel
• 02:24 on planet earth that is full of places
• 02:28 that are unreached by the Gospel.
• 02:30 And so the Chinese have been looking at
• 02:32 placing people in those areas
• 02:34 bringing the Gospel with their eyes on
• 02:36 the Muslims in the Middle East.
• 02:37 And now getting ready to bring the Gospel
• 02:40 to the Jewish people as well.
• 02:41 It's an incredible story
• 02:43 and we're looking forward to bringing it to you today.
• 02:45 So let's go to my interview with Brother Yun,
• 02:47 one of the Founders of the "Back to Jerusalem" movement.
• 02:51 Brother Yun, thank you for being with us.
• 02:53 Hallelujah - Shalom.
• 02:56 So there's really been a parallel
• 02:58 track between the restoration of Israel
• 03:00 and the awakening of the Chinese church
• 03:03 the importance of Israel.
• 03:04 (Interpreter) So in 1948 when there was the previous
• 03:08 before the evolution of the generation of
• 03:12 "Back to Jerusalem" missionaries
• 03:13 When they received the calling of God to
• 03:15 go to this home region between
• 03:17 China, between the walls,
• 03:19 they were all arrested in 1948
• 03:22 and thrown into labor camps and prisons and
• 03:24 among those who were arrested and brought
• 03:27 to the prison camps
• 03:29 many of them they paid the price with their life
• 03:32 for their obedience to their vision.
• 03:34 One of the leaders he's called Simon Zhao.
• 03:38 When I was released from
• 03:40 the prison in the late 1980's
• 03:43 And I happened to be conducting a pastoral
• 03:46 meeting somewhere in China and I was
• 03:48 there singing the ancient Back to Jerusalem Hymn.
• 03:52 And suddenly I met this brother who happened to
• 03:55 be the author for the song I was singing.
• 03:59 It was a little problem with my singing because
• 04:01 in China we don't have any written
• 04:04 formats for the songs.
• 04:05 And so I have changed some words in his song.
• 04:09 He had been singing that the shepherds
• 04:13 they are looking towards the west.
• 04:15 And I was singing they are looking forward.
• 04:18 And he was so upset about that.
• 04:21 I totally did not understand why are
• 04:24 all the shepherds supposed to look towards the west?
• 04:27 Because I had never heard about this vision
• 04:30 Back to Jerusalem towards the west.
• 04:32 So I thought that we rather look to forward
• 04:35 and we march forward.
• 04:37 And that's why he was offended.
• 04:40 And as I was singing.
• 04:42 People were really moved and touched
• 04:44 by that long song.
• 04:46 And towards the end I saw the old brother
• 04:49 coming straight towards me and
• 04:52 he came almost to my face and he said,
• 04:56 You have gone astray.
• 04:59 And I said, what do you mean, I've gone astray?
• 05:02 I just came out from the prison.
• 05:05 Where have I gone astray?
• 05:08 And some of the brothers my co-workers
• 05:10 they recognized this old brother
• 05:12 and they said don't be upset.
• 05:14 He is the author of the song
• 05:16 and you have messed up his song.
• 05:18 And that's why he is so upset.
• 05:20 And that happened at the time
• 05:22 I had been 7 years in the prison.
• 05:24 And I remember all those years
• 05:27 how many times I adopted God calling.
• 05:30 And I said why is this happening to me?
• 05:33 And then I heard that this brother
• 05:35 had been 40 years in the prison.
• 05:38 And I was wondering how did he overcome all these years.
• 05:43 And I just went to this brother.
• 05:46 With very humble voice I said to him,
• 05:48 ...Zhao, how was it possible that
• 05:51 you survived almost 40 years in the prison?
• 05:55 He was a person who always
• 05:57 expressed himself with songs.
• 06:00 So he started to sing that same song
• 06:03 he had been singing every night in the prison camp.
• 06:07 Brother Yun singing the "Back to Jerusalem" song.
• 06:37 As you can see that story was very moving.
• 06:39 I was moved to tears along with Brother Yun.
• 06:42 His story is so miraculous,
• 06:45 so full of the intervention of God, the Holy Spirit
• 06:48 that I need to tell you a few items from it.
• 06:50 At 17 he fasted for 100 days
• 06:53 on a small bowl of rice per day
• 06:55 asking God to send him a Bible.
• 06:58 He finally received one.
• 07:00 He had a Bible.
• 07:01 It was what he wanted more than anything.
• 07:02 Think about the value that he placed on the Word of God.
• 07:05 And then he was imprisoned 3 times.
• 07:07 And then the 3rd time he was in jail
• 07:09 it was a maximum security prison.
• 07:11 He was beaten.
• 07:13 His legs were crippled.
• 07:15 And one day shortly after that crippling
• 07:17 he heard the Lord say to him,
• 07:19 Today I want you to leave the prison.
• 07:21 Amazing.
• 07:22 And he got up and he walked out
• 07:25 unseen by the guards in this maximum security prison.
• 07:29 And it wasn't until later when he was far away from the prison that he walked out
• 07:34 that he realized that his legs were healed as well.
• 07:37 Absolutely supernatural intervention
• 07:39 that God gave to Brother Yun.
• 07:42 And it reminds me of Acts 16, you know.
• 07:44 Paul and Silas, they're in prison,
• 07:46 the exact same thing
• 07:47 being tortured, being beaten.
• 07:49 But God says, Look up and
• 07:51 release my praise, release my worship
• 07:54 and I will do a miracle.
• 07:56 Well, the ground shook there.
• 07:57 but God used...
• 07:59 He is a God of miracles.
• 08:01 And we need to remember that today.
• 08:03 Yes, that's good.
• 08:05 You know we're going to go to the section now
• 08:07 where we'll hear Brother Yun
• 08:08 tell the story of the composer of that song
• 08:10 who became his spiritual mentor,
• 08:12 the relationship that they had and
• 08:14 there's the power and the importance of this song
• 08:16 to Brother Yun, to the entire movement.
• 08:18 So let's go to my interview
• 08:20 on the Mount of Olives with Brother Yun.
• 08:25 And he started to share about his background.
• 08:28 He said, I was just an Elder
• 08:30 at a Presbyterian Church
• 08:33 close to the Ocean in Eastern China.
• 08:38 And I had another name with reference to the ocean.
• 08:42 It was part of my name.
• 08:44 And he was sharing that one morning when they
• 08:47 were gathered in this Bible School in Eastern China.
• 08:51 They came together to a room and they
• 08:53 had a map of the entire territory of China
• 08:57 And suddenly the Holy Spirit came upon them.
• 09:00 And the Holy Spirit spoke very clearly,
• 09:02 Look towards the West.
• 09:04 The doors towards the West
• 09:06 are now open for you to go West.
• 09:09 And a big part of the vision is the
• 09:11 10/40 window, what we call
• 09:13 the "Mission to the Muslims", yes?
• 09:16 And the Lord shared very clearly to them
• 09:21 that the mission they have is to
• 09:23 start from the Northeast corner of China
• 09:26 and follow all the borders towards Northwest
• 09:30 and join ancient Silk Road
• 09:32 and go through every nation
• 09:35 between the Great Wall of China
• 09:38 and the Western Wall of Jerusalem
• 09:41 and bring to every people group,
• 09:43 every ethnos, every tribe
• 09:47 the Living Testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• 09:50 You have people going throughout that area
• 09:53 using technology and human capital to touch the lives of people.
• 09:57 That's true.
• 10:00 That day when I met with Simon Zhao,
• 10:03 The was a transformation day of my life.
• 10:07 My entire vision and direction
• 10:11 for my ministry was totally changed.
• 10:14 And all of the brothers who were there,
• 10:18 we comforted this old brother, we said,
• 10:20 Your vision is still alive
• 10:22 and we are here
• 10:24 and we want to be the ones who
• 10:26 will really take this action
• 10:28 and we bring the Gospel within our generation
• 10:31 to all these nations.
• 10:33 And we reminded him
• 10:35 Jesus is still the only resurrected God.
• 10:38 He's alive and He's in us
• 10:40 and we're going to do it.
• 10:42 I asked him about, I have heard when
• 10:45 he was just newly married and his wife was pregnant
• 10:49 when they were both arrested.
• 10:51 Did you meet your wife any day after that arrest?
• 10:55 What had happened 40 years before?
• 10:57 And he said, My wife had just became pregnant
• 11:01 just a few weeks before we were arrested.
• 11:05 And brutally they took her and they
• 11:08 threw her into another female prison
• 11:10 even though she was in another part of the prison camp.
• 11:14 And the male and the female partner
• 11:17 they had no contact with each other and
• 11:20 during all the years in the prison
• 11:23 he only saw through a window of his cell
• 11:26 two times, his wife and then she was gone.
• 11:30 And it's only many years after
• 11:34 he heard the story how the baby was born inside the prison,
• 11:39 how the baby died.
• 11:41 And then later on he heard that wife also died in the prison.
• 11:46 But he only heard her voice saying
• 11:49 a few words to him two times
• 11:52 but they were not together.
• 11:54 And I asked him,
• 11:56 Brother how many years were you there?
• 11:58 And he said, Almost 40 years.
• 12:00 And he said that when I walked out
• 12:02 from the prison after almost 40 years.
• 12:05 My biggest desire and dream was
• 12:07 I could reconnect with all those
• 12:10 other brothers and sisters having the
• 12:12 same vision "Back to Jerusalem".
• 12:14 But I could not find any of them.
• 12:17 Most of them have died during those years
• 12:20 in the labor camp in the desert.
• 12:23 And the others were already so old and
• 12:26 the were not active in any kind of ministry anymore.
• 12:31 And this meeting was a transformation day
• 12:34 for the "Back to Jerusalem" mission.
• 12:37 The previous generation from 1920's to 1940's
• 12:41 they were carrying the vision but they
• 12:45 never were able to leave the borders
• 12:47 or go through the borders of China.
• 12:49 But now, today,
• 12:51 from that meeting with him
• 12:53 a new generation of leaders and missionaries
• 12:56 have risen in China.
• 12:58 And we are now going to all
• 13:00 these nations between China and Jerusalem.
• 13:03 The vision is accepted the same today at the Church.
• 13:07 But the first generation of missionaries
• 13:10 their dream and vision
• 13:12 was that they would personally walk to
• 13:15 every village between China and Jerusalem
• 13:17 and they would preach the Gospel verbally.
• 13:19 But today because of the development
• 13:24 and media and all kind of mp3s and
• 13:27 all kind of possibilities that we have,
• 13:30 the Chinese missionaries they are personally
• 13:33 going into these areas
• 13:35 but they can multiply their influence by
• 13:38 filling the air in this most restricted areas of the world
• 13:43 with a new presence of the Kingdom of God.
• 13:46 So we are using every way possible
• 13:49 to get people to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• 13:52 So you are living out the words of the Prophet Daniel
• 13:55 who said that knowledge would increase
• 13:57 and that people would go to and fro.
• 13:59 And the technology is allowing the Gospel
• 14:01 to spread in multiple ways.
• 14:03 So we are using everything in the book,
• 14:05 media, Internet and senders that they will
• 14:10 carry on their body, in their backpacks
• 14:12 And we will increase the message.

• 15:56 and the shared destiny that God has between
• 15:58 Jews and Christians.
• 15:59 That's good.
• 16:00 You know, we see this coming together of
• 16:03 the Chinese Church looking towards Israel
• 16:05 being those that are blessing Israel
• 16:07 while there are calls right now
• 16:08 to divest from businesses in Israel
• 16:11 The Chinese Church and the Chinese Country is
• 16:14 doing the exact opposite.
• 16:15 They're becoming friends
• 16:17 and economic partners with Israel.
• 16:19 It is such a delight to be part of this.
• 16:21 The way this happened was our Gate series was on
• 16:23 and Brother Yun and his assistant Eugene saw it.
• 16:27 Eugene came to see us in San Francisco and
• 16:30 from there this relationship developed.
• 16:32 Now I had a chance to speak with Brother Eugene
• 16:34 who is an American working with Brother Yun
• 16:38 and they are placing people around the world
• 16:42 in the most difficult places in the world
• 16:44 to preach the Gospel.
• 16:46 Let's go to my interview with Brother Eugene.
• 16:50 Brother thank you so much for being with us for this program.
• 16:53 I think for many of our viewers
• 16:55 they really don't understand
• 16:57 or maybe even haven't heard of
• 16:59 the "Back to Jerusalem" movement
• 17:01 Could you give us a brief explanation.
• 17:03 And also tell us how you got so
• 17:06 intimately connected with this work.
• 17:08 It began almost 100 years ago inside of China
• 17:11 WOW
• 17:12 where the indigenous Christians,
• 17:14 not those that were being influenced
• 17:15 by foreign missionaries so much
• 17:17 but this new breed
• 17:19 of Christians inside of China.
• 17:21 A breed of Christians that didn't know that
• 17:23 they were about to suffer persecution under Mao Zedong.
• 17:26 They began to get this vision of
• 17:29 taking the Gospel from China, what they had received in China
• 17:32 and then taking it to the border nations,
• 17:34 the nations that are in between China and Jerusalem.
• 17:38 And even though they call it "Back to Jerusalem"
• 17:40 the focus is not getting on a plane,
• 17:43 flying from China to Jerusalem and
• 17:45 selling knick knacks on the streets in Jerusalem
• 17:48 but actually going from country to country,
• 17:50 village to village, person to person.
• 17:52 That is the main focus between China and Jerusalem.
• 17:56 Basically, it's the Great Commission.
• 17:58 We call it the "Great Commission with Kung Pao flavor"
• 18:00 That's good.
• 18:02 You know, for our viewers sake that is
• 18:04 what we know of as the 10/40 window
• 18:06 and the most unreached area on planet earth.
• 18:09 Speak a little bit about the nations that
• 18:11 are involved in who you're touching.
• 18:13 Well we often call it the "Land Between the Walls".
• 18:17 We know that it's called the 10/40 window or the Indian Arc.
• 18:20 We call it the "Land Between the Walls".
• 18:21 The land between the Great Wall of China
• 18:24 and the Western Wall of Jerusalem.
• 18:26 Because in that window you have two thirds of the world's population.
• 18:29 Two out of every Three people that are born
• 18:31 in the world today are born in that region.
• 18:32 Not in America, not in Europe,
• 18:34 in that region
• 18:36 However, and this is an older number,
• 18:38 but from the World Evangelistic Research Center,
• 18:41 says that out of every hundred dollars given to missions in America,
• 18:45 and this is an American number,
• 18:46 but it's indicative of the western world in general,
• 18:48 out of every hundred dollars given to missions
• 18:51 only about 2 pennies makes it to unreached people groups
• 18:54 and only 1 penny makes it into that area between China and Jerusalem.
• 18:59 That is devastating!
• 19:01 And that actually I think highlights the need for the Gospel.
• 19:04 Think about this.
• 19:06 Think about the poorest areas in the world.
• 19:08 think about the most volatile, the most violent,
• 19:11 the most aggressive against Christianity.
• 19:13 Those countries, where are they at?
• 19:15 They're primarily between China and Jerusalem.
• 19:19 That area, I have to say if I was born there
• 19:22 I'd be pretty mad myself if I knew that the rest of the world
• 19:26 had an answer that would give me freedom, give me justice.
• 19:30 I mean justice really isn't available in these areas.
• 19:32 I mean we think about if you do something
• 19:34 well that's not right.
• 19:36 Well who do you go to?
• 19:38 You have the police or you have the magistrate or you have a judge.
• 19:40 They don't have that in these areas, Why?
• 19:43 Because it's an areas that is in darkness without Jesus Christ,
• 19:46 without the idea of right and wrong.
• 19:49 And to bring that righteousness the Chinese believe
• 19:51 that they have been called to move into that window,
• 19:55 that area between the Great Wall of China
• 19:58 and the Western Wall of Jerusalem.
• 19:59 Well it's really sobering because it's a martyr's call
• 20:05 because many of the people that are going to leave China may never return.
• 20:09 Yeah, well you know that's one of the
• 20:11 reasons why resources might be so slim
• 20:14 coming from the western Church into that region.
• 20:17 Why? Because a lot of people want to go to the safe areas.
• 20:21 Think about the majority of missions today.
• 20:23 The majority of missions today are what?
• 20:25 If you just think about your own church.
• 20:27 Most of the time it's short term mission trips.
• 20:30 Short term mission trips usually include,
• 20:32 you know, you're getting a group of people together.
• 20:35 They want to go to a safe place.
• 20:36 They don't want to go to a dangerous place,
• 20:38 especially if you're going to be sending your kids.
• 20:39 You go to a Holiday Inn that's, you know,
• 20:42 close to a disaster area.
• 20:43 And you go to an area, you help out for a day,
• 20:45 two days, maybe a week, maybe two weeks.
• 20:48 You get a couple good Facebook photos
• 20:50 and then you go back home.
• 20:51 Ouch.
• 20:52 But actually, the Chinese have a vision to take
• 20:55 the Gospel into the hardest to reach areas.
• 20:57 Now these hardest to reach areas are
• 20:59 not your prime locations for holiday resorts.
• 21:04 These are places that are difficult.
• 21:05 And the Chinese actually feel that they have been
• 21:08 uniquely designed just for this task.
• 21:11 When I share with them and say, you know what?
• 21:14 If you go into North Korea,
• 21:15 if you go into Pakistan,
• 21:17 you go into Iran and
• 21:18 you share the Good News of Jesus Christ
• 21:20 you might be arrested,
• 21:22 you might be persecuted,
• 21:23 you might even die.
• 21:25 And they say, Eugene, we've been doing this for generations,
• 21:28 we know the risk, we know the cost,
• 21:31 we've been doing this for awhile.
• 21:34 It's almost as if they've gone through
• 21:36 the seminary of hard knocks,
• 21:38 the persecution that has brought them through to be
• 21:41 uniquely prepared for this time and place of our generation.
• 21:45 I think you've already answered the question I was going to ask
• 21:48 which is, Why are you so connected?
• 21:51 And I can see the passion that
• 21:53 this is cutting edge Gospel and
• 21:55 where else would I go, what else would I do.
• 21:57 I think you have answered it without words.
• 21:59 But what about the fruit regarding,
• 22:04 let's say the Muslim people.
• 22:05 As we get to close here
• 22:07 how is there...
• 22:09 Do you see breakthrough?
• 22:10 Do you see things happening in the Muslim world?
• 22:12 Well, right now where we're at with the Chinese
• 22:15 They are working in places like Sudan,
• 22:17 like Somalia,
• 22:19 like Iran,
• 22:20 most recently Iraq.
• 22:22 In northern Iraq right now as you and I are talking
• 22:25 the Chinese have been working in
• 22:27 an area that's only about 30 miles north of Mosul,
• 22:29 only about 16 miles north of where the ISIS front lines are.
• 22:33 In that region we have seen lots of people
• 22:37 come out of the ISIS controlled areas looking for help.
• 22:41 There are United Nations camps there
• 22:44 but not a lot of people actually on the front lines preaching the Gospel.
• 22:48 The Chinese have been working there sharing the Good News.
• 22:51 And here's what they're doing right now.
• 22:54 There have been these girls that have come out
• 22:58 that have been former slaves of ISIS.
• 23:01 The Chinese are working together with them to build a house,
• 23:04 A safe house where these girls can go and be kept safe,
• 23:07 and where the can be given counseling,
• 23:10 they can be given a unique education
• 23:13 as well as training to help them get jobs.
• 23:16 These people have seen the love of Christ and
• 23:18 they are coming to Christ.
• 23:22 And LORD, right now I pray
• 23:24 for your Church in America
• 23:26 and pray for your Church in Europe
• 23:28 that they will leave behind
• 23:30 this comfortable Church concentrated work and
• 23:33 they understand that they are all called to go out
• 23:36 and get the message out
• 23:38 to those who have never heard the Gospel.
• 23:40 And LORD, Jesus I ask
• 23:41 for transformation that
• 23:43 the millions of believers
• 23:44 of you in America will
• 23:46 become truly disciples of you
• 23:49 and willing to hear your Words
• 23:51 and be obedient to that calling.
• 23:53 In the Name of Jesus I proclaim
• 23:55 the Kingdom of God will come
• 23:57 once again upon America
• 23:59 and that your will be done
• 24:01 in the lives of the believers in America
• 24:04 that they would find a way
• 24:05 back to their first love
• 24:07 and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus.
• 24:10 And raise up people
• 24:11 to become intercessors for
• 24:13 the "Back to Jerusalem" vision.
• 24:15 And raise up people who are willing
• 24:17 to sacrificial give donations
• 24:19 and give resources for this
• 24:22 so that we can get fulfillment
• 24:24 to the Great Commission and
• 24:25 to "Back to Jerusalem" vision.
• 24:27 And I pray a special blessing
• 24:30 upon this program so that
• 24:32 my brother who is leading
• 24:34 this whole ministry
• 24:36 and doing these programs,
• 24:37 you're going to use him
• 24:40 as a messenger for that message
• 24:43 you want to share to your
• 24:44 body throughout the nations.
• 24:47 I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ.
• 24:50 Amen.
• 24:51 Amen!
• 24:53 Thank you!
• 24:55 Hallelujah!
• 24:58 I think you can tell how humbling it is
• 24:59 to be with men and women of God of this stature.
• 25:03 These folks have given themselves
• 25:06 to the simple truth of the Gospel
• 25:08 putting their lives on the line.
• 25:09 Many of them leave China
• 25:11 with a one-way ticket.
• 25:12 They don't know that they'll ever go back.
• 25:14 They're going to bring the Good News of Yeshua , of Jesus
• 25:17 to the most difficult places in the world.
• 25:20 Just to sit with them was such a privilege,
• 25:22 was such an honor.
• 25:24 And to ask Brother Yun to pray for America was
• 25:27 really an honor for me because
• 25:29 we need to be prayed for and
• 25:31 we need to pray into our destiny our inheritance.
• 25:34 We have been one of the greatest mission sending nations in the world.
• 25:38 And we need that now.
• 25:40 We need to recover our first love,
• 25:42 recover our desire to see the Gospel go forth
• 25:44 in our land and around the world.
• 25:47 Absolutely, you know I just want to personally
• 25:48 thank you for supporting this ministry
• 25:51 that enabled us to bring this message
• 25:53 to Brother Yun and to the Chinese Church and that
• 25:56 God is doing something supernatural in this hour.
• 25:59 You know, Myles and I have traveled to
• 26:01 India and Africa and Russia.
• 26:03 And now we feel like God's calling us
• 26:05 to China to partner with this.
• 26:07 And we know that it's because of this ministry
• 26:10 that the door was opened up.
• 26:11 And they have contacted us.
• 26:13 And we will continue to work with them
• 26:15 to bring that revival information about Israel
• 26:19 and they're going to bring the fire to us.
• 26:21 And hopefully we can all just partner because
• 26:25 the LORD is coming soon.
• 26:26 You really see it unfolding in stages
• 26:28 because their original vision was
• 26:30 north to the Buddhists
• 26:32 and south to the Hindus
• 26:34 and west to the Muslims.
• 26:35 And now, by seeing our program
• 26:37 and by getting to know us a little bit
• 26:39 they are really focusing on
• 26:40 Well, what then?
• 26:41 How will it be when we actually walk through the Gates
• 26:44 and we're standing within the Gates of Zion?
• 26:47 And that's what they're looking at.
• 26:48 Well there's so many other ministries that
• 26:51 have partnered with the Chinese Church and
• 26:52 that have the Israel Mandate on them.
• 26:56 But we know that God...
• 26:57 And they said to us,
• 26:59 No we want you, we want you.
• 27:00 We kept saying, Are you sure?
• 27:02 There might be somebody else.
• 27:04 And the LORD says, No.
• 27:05 So we want to thank you.
• 27:07 And pray for us as the LORD leads our path.
• 27:10 So we always want to close our program
• 27:12 by reminding you Psalm 122:6 tells us
• 27:17 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim
• 27:19 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
