Apache is doing exactly what you are asking it to do.  You are pointing 
to /var/www/bach as the DocumentRoot for jesujuva.org.    So, of course 
it is going to be serving /var/www/back/index.html.  If you want to 
serve a different set of files you have to point Apache to that set of 
files.  For example, if the index.html file for jesujuva.org is inside 
the /var/www/jesujuva directory you would use that directory as your 
DocumentRoot.  If the DocumentRoot for jesujuva.org is in /var/www then 
that is where you would point Apache. 

I agree with one of the other people who replied here.  It's much easier 
to put the configuration for all your sites in a single file.
