Mongolian Peoples of Outer Mongolia and Russia

(mon-GOHL-yun) – For over 30 years, God has used an annual gift distribution project by a Great Commission Christian (GCC) organization to provide entry points to areas with no previous gospel witness or in places with no churches. In a country of 3.4 million people with only about 35,000 followers of Jesus, there are still many who need to have a personal relationship with God. Again, this year, in an eastern province of Mongolia, the project began in March with training sessions for church leaders. Several of the prayed-for locations are the school for training boys to become Buddhist priests and the many training grounds for racehorses where boys live and care for the horses. In addition to hearing the gospel during the gift distribution, a children’s gospel booklet in Mongolian is given along with the gift to children ages 2-14. Ask God to prepare the hearts of children and adults to hear and receive the good news and for Him to use these gospel booklets to reach many others. Also, ask God to direct and give wisdom to each team as they distribute the gifts. In addition, pray that God will give a desire to the older children to attend the 13-lesson discipleship course.
