Brother Yun Wikipedia

Brother Yun A.K.A Liu Zhenying (born 1958) is a Chinese preacher and evangelist whose life has been marked by both hardships and apparent miracles through his intense desire to reach China with the gospel throughout the late 20th century. From a life of poverty he has reached many thousands, possibly millions, with the Christianity|Christian gospel message. His preaching and example led many to peacefully endure government persecution. Seen as a rebel for not joining the 'official' government-controlled Christian organisations (see: Three-Self Patriotic Movement), the Chinese authorities hunted him relentlessly. He became a highly wanted man across several Political_divisions_of_China#Provinces|provinces.

His prison ministry was Nonviolence|non-violent and he claims to have offered hope and to have administered supernatural healing upon both prison inmates and staff. For this he gained a mixture of increasing favour and increasing anger from those in power.

While in prison, Yun claims to have endured a total Fasting|fast (no food and no water) for 75 days. Prison officers even attempted violence to stop his "hunger strike". During another term, he claimed to miraculously escape from the prison when heavily guarded doors were left open and prison officers unknowingly allowed him to walk across the yard and out of the main gate. He claims that it was as if he was invisible, that the guards stared straight through him. Some lost their jobs subsequently for the embarrassing 'mishap'. His ministry henceforth struggled when Chinese Christians became increasingly fearful of housing him because of the potential repercussions from government authorities. He decided to move overseas and has since been working to reach and share with many other countries around the world.

He is also a leader of the "Back to Jerusalem Movement" which seeks to send thousands of missionaries out from China into the least-gospel-reached countries of the world, most existing between China and Israel.

He is married to Deling and has two children.
