Mongolian Peoples of Outer Mongolia and Russia

(mon-GOHL-yun) – Since the country of Mongolia opened to Christianity 35 years ago, many different avenues have been used to reach the Mongolian people with the gospel of Jesus. Veterinarians, medical specialists, agriculturists, and other professionals have come and shared the love of Jesus through their skills. Athletes, including weightlifters, basketball, soccer, and hockey players have also come to Mongolia. Starting the middle of November, the weather will be cold enough to keep the water frozen on the ice rink in a province in eastern Mongolia, and ice hockey practice will begin. Several years ago, teams with junior high and high school players were formed, and God is using the Christian coaches to teach them more than hockey skills. Please pray with them that they will boldly proclaim the gospel with their lives and their words, and that God will draw the youth and their parents to Himself.
