Let’s expand the reach of LifeSkills together so that more Mongolian children discover their identity as God’s children!
Shaping the Next Generation with Biblical Truth
Across Mongolia, teachers and principals are witnessing something remarkable. Students are showing greater levels of respect, honesty, and forgiveness and our LifeSkills Values Education programme is believed to be the reason. God is using this programme powerfully – so much so that a local government official even attributed a drop in juvenile crime to LifeSkills being taught in that area. Right now, Mongolia is uniquely open to God’s message. Only a few decades ago, when the first missionaries arrived after communism fell, there were just a handful of Christians in the entire nation. Today, state schools are welcoming biblical values lessons! It’s an opportunity almost unheard of in places like New Zealand, where Christian programmes have very limited access to schools. Where the door is open, we want to make sure God’s Word can be heard.
What LifeSkills Offers:
LifeSkills, run by our partners at Asian Outreach Mongolia, teaches foundational values – respect, forgiveness, honesty, self‑worth. Many students are hearing about these concepts for the very first time. These values resonate so deeply because they come from the heart of our heavenly Father. In New Zealand, we often take this foundation for granted. But in Mongolia – a nation with almost no Christian heritage until recent decades – this is life‑changing truth.
Teachers are reporting noticeable shifts in classroom culture. Parents attending associated parenting classes are seeing transformation at home. We’re hearing stories of reconciliation between fathers and sons, forgiveness within families, and a renewed sense of peace in households that were once strained.
Beyond the Classroom
LifeSkills doesn’t end with the school term. Students are invited to Christian camps and holiday programmes where they hear the gospel more directly—learning about God as Creator, the reality of sin, and the hope of salvation. Many begin their discipleship journey from there. So far, over 300 children have accepted Jesus as their Saviour for the first time.
The original model of travelling teachers is no longer sustainable. Instead, our LifeSkills teachers are now focused on equipping Christian leaders to teach LifeSkills within their own communities. This creates a bridge between local churches and secular schools, opening up opportunities for Christian leaders to influence and support young people in their own neighbourhoods.
Will you help us expand the reach of LifeSkills so that more Mongolian children can discover their identity as God’s children?
Why your support matters:
We believe LifeSkills is a significant part of God’s plan to reach Mongolia’s next generation. Thousands of students and their families are being impacted, but the programme can only continue – and expand – if our LifeSkills teachers continue to train more teachers!
By supporting the salaries of LifeSkills teachers, you help ensure that more children can hear biblical truth in their classrooms, experience God’s love, and encounter the hope of Jesus for themselves.
God is transforming individual lives and shaping the future of Mongolia through LifeSkills. Will you help make this opportunity available to even more children?
