Considered by the police as one of the most wanted criminals in China, the "Citizen of Heaven" has been imprisoned about fifteen times in his country. Beaten, mistreated and tortured, he remained faithful to Jesus Christ and never compromised.
During his last incarceration in a maximum security prison, Brother Yun had his legs broken by his tormentors. While he was crippled, he received God’s command to escape. Putting his faith into action, Yun stood up… and the prison doors opened before him!
Like the Christians in Chinese house churches, the "Citizen of Heaven" is completely devoted to the living and true God, no matter the cost. In 1997, he was able to miraculously escape from China. But in 2001, he found himself imprisoned in Burma. Through his testimony, light and hope have shone in the darkness of despair in one of the most horrific prisons on the planet.
Since his release, Yun has been the spokesperson for more than 70 million Christians gathered in house churches in China. Refusing the tutelage of an atheist government over the Church of Jesus Christ, these brothers and sisters endure terrible persecution. However, as part of the "Return to Jerusalem" movement, they are preparing to send 100,000 missionaries outside their borders to evangelize the countries located west of China.
This thrilling story reads like a new chapter in the Acts of the Apostles. It prepares us to face more difficult times and encourages us to place our trust in God alone.
