Reaching the ‘unreachable’ – movement in Mongolia
The gospel is spreading in Mongolia as believers in the capital are partnering with mission agencies to reach the rest of the country.
Mongolia! The very name suggests a mixture of fascination and fear. Once a great world empire under the powerful Genghis Khan, it is now an almost forgotten land squeezed between Russia to the north and China to the south. Although officially a secular state, a large proportion of Mongolians adhere to a form of Buddhism, while many others are caught up in Shamanism and superstitious folk religion. Christian witness was virtually non-existent until about 30 years ago, when through the labours of faithful missionaries from other countries gospel seeds took root and began to grow.
