Život víry 2026/11

Persecution creates a different type of Christian (an interview with Eugene Bach, missionary and Chinese church expert).

How does the underground church live in China, and what does persecution teach it about faith? How did he meet Brother Yun – the only prisoner to escape from a Chinese high-security prison? A former army sniper and current businessman working in China discusses these questions. In this interview, he explains the vision of Chinese missionaries to carry the Gospel to the region between China and Jerusalem. He shares moving stories of the first missionaries in China and Korea, as well as the role of hackers in the modern life of the Chinese church.
