Tim sharing with a teens small group from one of the Mongolian churches.
August in Mongolia is already beginning to be chilly, but fellowship with many first generation pastors was warm around the campfire at the Mongolian pastors retreat in the woods near Siberia. Tim traveled with our regional director Jeff, to encourage these pastors in a place where the church was birthed only roughly 30yrs ago. These pastors face exceptional challenges in this post-communist state that is pushing for Buddhism to be the national religion.
By the close of the retreat, the Holy Spirit had comforted, encouraged, and inspired many to continue strong in the faith! There was great excitement towards reviving the evangelistic effort inspite of opposition. Pray for these courageous pastors as they follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in church planting, discipling, and evangelism.
