God is doing incredible things in Mongolia! When communism fell and Christian missionaries entered the country in 1990, it is said that they could only find four Christians in the whole land! They had their evangelistic work cut out for them. The full bible was only just translated in 2002, so it is fair to say that this is a country rather ‘new’ to the Christian faith. Fast-forward to now and there are over 70,000 believers. God is turning hearts to Himself in this nation. Still, half the population is spread across the vast countryside, living in small isolated villages that have never even heard of Jesus!
The Genesis Asian Outreach Mongolia (GAOM) team has a clear and powerful vision to see people throughout the whole country, come to know about Jesus. Their strategy involves church-planting in remote areas as well as training and equipping church leaders through a leadership training programme. GAOM is also committed to demonstrating and proclaiming God’s love to families by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of children. This is carried out through LifeSkills Values Education classes (teaching biblical values in state schools) and distributing Winter Kits (quality jackets and boots) to the most vulnerable.
