With 36 percent of the population living below the poverty line, Mongolia is a third-world country left in decay following the 1991 fall of Communism.
Asian Outreach’s Education and Community Development programs provide literacy classes, small business loans, and training for poor and needy families. On the spiritual side, prior to 1990, there were only five known Christians in Mongolia. That number has now dramatically increased to over 90,000. Asian Outreach has been closely involved in that change, training over 85 percent of Mongolia’s Christian leaders through their Leadership Training programs.
Dear Friends,
Exciting news from Mongolia! The Great Commission Institute (GCI) is transforming lives by equipping church leaders to fulfill the Great Commission. In 2024, GCI conducted ten impactful training sessions. These sessions brought together 229 pastors and leaders from 57 churches—including four Korean Mongolian churches—to strengthen their ability to lead and disciple effectively.
The training has sparked spiritual renewal among participants, who gained a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit’s role in mission work. Chandman Uvs Assembly leader, B. Odontuya shared: "I plan to assemble a team of five individuals to serve our church.” Leaders were also inspired to form missional teams and equipped with strategies to foster spiritual growth in their congregations.
Teamwork and collaboration were recurring themes, with participants learning how to unite their congregations around common goals. Pastor D. Munkhbat of the "Wave of Faith" church expressed how the training prepared him to help his congregation “stay at peace during challenges.”
Since its inception in 2001, GCI has trained approximately 70% of Mongolia’s church leaders. This ministry meets leaders where they are, offering mobile training that allows participants to stay engaged in their local communities. The program’s practical and intensive approach ensures participants leave equipped with actionable ministry plans. Hovd "Kuanshti Khabar" congregation leader, Enkhchimeg, reflected: “I’ve learned gratitude, perseverance, and lessons to share with my congregation.”
Your prayers and support are integral to the ongoing success of this ministry. Together, we are equipping leaders, strengthening churches, and advancing God’s Kingdom in Mongolia.
