Featuring Eugene Bach
Back to Jerusalem
February 2024
For over two decades, Eugene Bach, a pseudonym, has been working with the Chinese mission movement to reach unreached people groups for Christ in some of the most closed countries around the world. Through his work with Back to Jerusalem, essential support for Chinese missionaries is provided to missionaries serving in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. This work often results in traveling more than 300 days a year for ministry, but has allowed Eugene Bach to be able to serve the global church and the Chinese Missionary community in an extraordinary way.
Back to Jerusalem is a movement of the Chinese church to evangelize to unreached peoples from the eastern provinces of China, westward towards Jerusalem, a vision that was birthed within the Chinese church in the 1920s. Since then, the churches in China have continued towards this goal at the great cost of suffering and of persecution. Back to Jerusalem partners with the Chinese church to evangelize in oppressed areas of Asia and also to train and send Chinese missionaries into the unreached regions of our world.
In addition to his work with Back to Jerusalem, Eugene Bach was trained in U.S. military special operations and served two tours in the Persian gulf and the Asia-Pacific region, primarily as a member of a rapid response team focused on counterterrorism and security.
Traveling with Chinese missionaries into closed nations has provided him with a unique perspective of global issues and spiritual revival across nations and cultures. Additionally, he has witnessed the result of oppression and persecution of the Christian Church around the world. This work has also resulted in innovation such as the development of a pill sized Bible that can project chapters of the Bible on a wall in a room and is more easily smuggled into closed countries. This work is vital for those in countries such as China where the government heavily regulates and watches the Christian church, even restricting the purchase of a Bible to those sold by the government.
Due to his work and experience, Eugene Bach is a sought after speaker and author on issues relating to persecution and mission work around the world. His books have provided insight into the plight of the underground church in China, North Korea, Iran and other nations and people groups.
Eugene Bach’s work with the Chinese Christian Church to reach the lost is an inspiration and an example of innovative leadership in service to the persecuted church.
