Many of you may have heard of the "Back to Jerusalem" vision of the Chinese church. The vision is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ from China through some of the most Gospel resistent parts of the world and back to Jerusalem where it all began. Well that same vision burns in the hearts of those working in the fields of Africa.
In this second part of our interview with Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries, she tells how they're planting thousands of churches throughout Africa on their way back to Jerusalem. It's all part of the fulfillment of the Great Commission and Matthew 24:14 that says, "This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness and then the end shall come."
Heidi also shares some of the lessons the church in the West can learn from the people who are "the poorest of the poor." These are people dependent and desperate for God. As Heidi says, "if God doesn't show up, they're dead." But she says He does show up, the God who is alive!
I think you'll enjoy Heidi's infectious faith and thrilling stories of how "God shows up."
