Grasslands and lakes, snowy peaks and huge canyons. Antelope, gazelles and the piercing cries of the golden eagles. Temples, gers and great hospitality.
If you like archery, horses and wrestling, Don’t miss the Naadam festival each summer!
This is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. On average, you’ll find fewer than 5 people per square mile (compared with, say, 18,000 in Hong Kong).
It is also a relatively young country – almost half are under 24 years old. Only 4% of the population are over 65 – an indicator of where the priorities lie for families, churches
and government.
Poverty is relatively new in many parts and is having devastating effects, chiefly among the nomads, women who head households of large families and among the unemployed. There are many opportunities for Christian compassion.
Latest research estimates that among the population of 3 million, there are now around 70,000 Christians and more than 400 churches.
Given that Mongolia only stepped out of the shadow of Communism in 1990 with barely a handful of known believers, this is a modern example of indigenous-led, successful church growth with a missionary vision as broad as the the vast, ancient, Mongolian Empire.
Mongolia is an exciting land where the Lord is working. This summer, you could join a team to serve the church here. Find out more by at historymakers.info/go
