In October I visited Mongolia and I am very grateful for your participation in this trip! A three-day discipleship conference with a group of leaders took place from Friday to Sunday. After that, we had scheduled meetings with various organizations.
My trip to Armenia and Georgia was cancelled. And although my flight was canceled, my colleagues did everything to ensure that the planned meetings and baptism in Armenia took place.
26 people came to Armenia from Iran for the meeting, 13 of them were baptized. Among them was a woman who herself led about 20 women in Iran to faith in Christ. The situation in Iran is very difficult, every day people die on the streets people. Our friends continue to return to Iran and ask us to pray for them. A young pastor called from Tbilisi this morning
Reza (Iranian) and asked not to forget our brothers and sisters in Iran and pray hard for them.
In December I am planning to go to Georgia and Armenia again with Mani. I hope to prepare even more disciples who are ready to pass on the gospel to others… Thank you for your prayers and support!

When she has to leave the house, she locks up the children to go and earn money. But she is very worried about them and does not can work quietly. She receives a monthly widow’s pension of $90, child support of $70 for two children, and $17 for maternal custody. In addition to these incomes, she has no other resources. Gandhi dreams of having her own home and learn a profession.

in the future, and start her own business. Thank you for your participation in
our ministry. May God bless you.
Thank you so much for that always help and support us. We successfully delivered food. We provided food packages to 346 families in Ulan Bator and in the provinces. Each family was given food and with them, we also gave them the Gospel.
We put a Gospel and a book about changed life through Christ in the Grocery bags. As a result of this ministry, 11 families visited our Sunday Service. We care for them through home gatherings and pray that Lord touches more people. We are planning more ministries like these. Please pray for the success of this Ministry. May the Lord be with you and will reward you.
Friends, I want to thank everyone who participated and prayed for our ministry in Mongolia. As I wrote the last time our main church “Golden Star” and three church campuses began to deliver products to people in need. Through this ministry, we were able to help 100 families which were in difficult circumstances and who live in areas where we planted churches. Since February 11th the lockdown was tightened and people do not work, public transport stopped driving around the city. Our team visited the homes of people in great need. We also pray with them and give them essential items which cost around $25 and last for one month.
People are grateful to you for your support, and we have the opportunity to testify of the love of our Lord.
Mongolia has been under quarantine since February 2020. And in the last 2 months, we have been in high-level quarantine. It was supposed to end on January 6, 2021, but it is being extended again. People are desperate, they have no jobs and no opportunity to feed their families. Many are left without income and without coal for heating. And the winters in Mongolia are up to -40 Fahrenheit. Therefore, our main church “Golden Star” and three other campuses help the suffering people.
Through this ministry, we were able to reach 100 poor families. We understand that one-time help will not be enough. Therefore, we are planning to support each family with $25 per month from January to May 2021 for food and coal. By visiting and communicating with these families, we will become light and salt for them. We can bring the light of the Gospel to them. We select these families together with the district administration. Young families, who lost their jobs due to quarantine, and cannot receive social security from the state remained below the poverty line. Many cannot apply for help because they have a refrigerator or TV, which is considered a luxury.
Mongolia is very cold this winter. Large numbers of livestock are dying out and the price of meat has risen. And the use of firewood and coal has increased. The prices of foodstuffs also went up. We ask you to support our ministry during this difficult time for the Mongolian Church!
