Brother Yun
Brother Yun (1958–present). Born Liu Zhenying on January 1, 1958, in Nanyang, Henan, China, Brother Yun is a Chinese house church leader, evangelist, and author, renowned for his role in the Back to Jerusalem movement. Raised in poverty, he converted to Christianity at 16 in 1974 after his mother’s renewed faith led to his father’s miraculous healing from lung cancer, sparking a family revival. Lacking a Bible, Yun fasted and prayed for one, receiving it after a divine vision guided evangelists to deliver it. He memorized Scripture, including the Gospel of Matthew, and began preaching at 16, reciting entire chapters to villagers, leading to widespread conversions despite China’s clampdown on Christianity in the 1980s and 1990s. As a house church leader, he faced severe persecution, arrested multiple times, tortured, and imprisoned for over seven years, including a 74-day fast he claims sustained him miraculously. In 1997, he escaped Zhengzhou Maximum Security Prison, attributing it to divine intervention, and fled to Germany, where he gained asylum. Yun authored The Heavenly Man (2002) with Paul Hattaway, detailing his persecution and miracles, and Living Water (2008), sharing his teachings; the former won the UK Christian Book of the Year in 2003. Married to Deling, with two children, he now ministers globally, advocating missions to unevangelized nations. He said, “We shouldn’t pray for a lighter load to carry, but a stronger back to endure!”

Sermon Transcription
Our God is Almighty God. All power on the earth and in heaven belongs to our God. And He wants to use my life, He wants to use your life. And now say this to one another aloud, if the Lord can use Brother Yun, He can use you. Say this to one another in English. If the Lord can use Brother Yun, and now continue to speak to one another, say like, Jesus will set you free. We are gathered, it's not worthless that we are gathered here tonight. There is no reference in the Bible that communism is going to take over. It's written in my Bible that the glory of God will cover the earth like a cloud. And the Lord has not said that the world is going to be filled with idol worship. He is saying the world will be filled by His glory. China needs Jesus, the future of China belongs to Jesus Christ. Central Asia and the Middle East need Jesus Christ. Jesus is calling disciples to go and transfer China and Central Asia and the Middle East. Do you want to be one of those? I have a burning prayer in my heart. I have a prayer in my heart that will change my life. I pray for the people of the Middle East. Every citizen needs to have a new book in their hands. That is the New Testament of Jesus Christ. I have a major book exchange in Central Asia and the Middle East. The book they are holding in their hands will be changed. And they have all the fullness of the Word of God in their hands. How many of you have already had the passion to become a disciple of Jesus, to surrender your life to serve Jesus? I will ask a very important question. How many of you are already believers of Jesus? Are you already believers of Jesus? If you have come with a friend and you know that person is not really, really a follower of Jesus, he just loves you and he wants to change your life. Amen. Let us all stand up together. I would also like to invite the Blessed Virgin Mary to come forward and lead us. I don't know where you are from. Let us pray together for those who are willing to follow Jesus and become His disciples. We need the grace of the Lord. We need the power of discipleship. We need the grace of the Lord. We need the power of discipleship. We need the grace of the Lord. Jesus Christ. The King of Kingdoms and Lord of Lords. We believe in you. How powerful. How miraculous which you save our brother Yun and use him so mightily for the past many years in China and to have so many souls into your Kingdom. You also use him in the many countries of this world to spread this message, to bring the Gospel back to Jerusalem. Lord, we pray, all of us will work together in one accord, and to obey your commandments, to be your true witness, and to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in different ways, for preparing the Bible in the hands of the Muslims, every Muslim, they will read your Holy Word, the Holy Bible, oh, they will read it, and your Holy Spirit will speak to them, and they will see Jesus is the true Messiah, and Jesus is the only way to go to the God who created the whole universe, and they will love Jesus, and they will form the missionary teams to spread the Gospel to many parts of this world. Lord, you are going to call these people, even tonight, who are stretching our hands, to use all of us as missionaries, or to just like our pastor just to share the testimony, when we pray, when you say, go to any place, Lord, we will obey, and we will go, because we are not going alone, because you go with us, oh Lord Jesus, oh Lord, how your Holy Spirit use your servant, our brother Yun, to minister to thousands of souls, use us as well Lord, in Jesus' name we pray, amen, amen, amen.
