Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

So many of you are praying for us as we study the Mongolian language and culture - thank you so much. It is by far the hardest thing we have ever done.
Even though language study accounts for most of our lives right now, Erik has had the opportunity to begin discipling two young men. We introduced you to Zoloo and his family last month and hope to introduce you to Unru soon.
Things are progressing well with the registration of the international church. Attenders were given membership application materials three weeks ago and there is an excitement at church.
The student church’s numbers are still pretty small, but it’s been great to see it completely taken over by our young Mongolian leaders, Zoloo and Onon. We hope to continue to come alongside them as they seek to reach their peers and young Mongolian families.
All around the world Alliance workers have been asked to complete a Personal Growth and Development Plan. This yearly process is done to evaluate your goals from last year, look at where you are at now and pray about what God would have you do this next year. This is very key as next month, our field leadership team will be meeting to discuss placements for Erik and I for next year. Please be in prayer with us for where God would have us join Him in His work next year. There are no shortages of opportunities or needs here, but we really desire to be where God wants us to be. We anticipate great things this next year. Thank you for praying to this end with us!

Prayer Requests

This month please join with us in praying for Onon. If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a few minutes to watch her tell her testimony on our video page. Onon is the manager of our student center here in UB. She is passionate about Jesus and for students to come to know Him. We are so thankful for her and her heart for Jesus!

Please pray with us for:
Onon as she manages our student center here in UB

her life
for the relationships she is able to make through the
center
