The Judges in Bayankhongor are interested in partnering with us in the Marriage Ministry course. Jardel and Sansar(staff) met with the main judge last week, and Jardel was very honest with them saying that we are a Mongolian NGO, but we are all Christians. Also He shared about what we do as YWAM-BH and all the ministries. (DTS; the youth Café; Marriage Ministry; Support Sports Ministries; English teaching in the summer. “When we get teams coming”). He got very excited about the English teaching; he was very open and even said that if the condition to learn English was that they need to listen about our faith, they wouldn’t mind and was open to it. But of course we told him that it would not be necessary; we could teach English without having to make them hear about our faith.

We have an YWAM outreach team from Colorado-USA coming beginning of May, they will be teaching English for a month at the YWAM center and also for the Judges in BH.

At the end of the conversation, the Judge mentioned about a huge problem they are facing, he shared that they are dealing with a lot of couples that are asking for a legal divorce. By the Mongolian law the couple has to wait for 3 months and try to work out their relationship and see if that is really what they want to do. During those 3 months the couple should look for counseling and all the counseling the Judges have being using has not being very successful, so he asked if there was any way we could partner with them. They would get the couples that are asking for divorce, and send to us for counseling and for the marriage ministry course. After they go through this, then the Judges would let them make their final decision.

So far we have had 3 marriage couple courses in Bayankhongor. From the graduated couples we have 8 couples that are partnering with us in the ministry. These 8 couples we are dividing into 3 groups to run another course for Church people. The graduated will be challenged to be part of the ministry too, so we can multiply ourselves and reach out many other families.

Please pray for this opportunity. Next Monday we will be doing a presentation of the marriage course to the Judges. We need to prepare a really good material for that. Thanks for praying…
