News

Hello everyone! Since we updated last time has passed and many things happened. Our dear friend and founder of YWAM BH center Jardel and Inez’s family lift in beginning of October. One side we are sad for they are leaving, and other side we feel peace because God is with us and He will lead us way we should go and instruct us what we do.
Before they lift they anointed Sansar and Tsetseg’s family as a next leader of the center. We pray that God’s clear direction and wisdom will be upon them.
So far DTS is running well. God is doing great works in our students and staff’s lives. Our students are growing in their relationship with God more and more. Through Mark and his teaching God brought healing and deliverances to our students. Some of our students are like flowers. They are blossoming like spring flowers. God is blowing life into their spirit. Some of them were closed before, now they are open day by day and step by step with God. We are so happy for God’s faithfulness. And other sad thing is we sent 2 students. We are keeping praying for them that God will work in them continually.
This week Sandy is teaching “Communication”, also Jeremiah is teaching to staff.
After 4 weeks we are ready to go outreach. We divided students into 2 groups. One team will go Inner Mongolia China, and other team will stay in Umnugobi. We are preparing for the outreach. So many things have to be done before the outreach. Please pray for us and our students.
Thank you for your faithful prayer support.
We hope you would enjoy the photo album.

DTS just started a week ago

We just started DTS last week. At this time we have 14 students from 4 different states of Mongolia: Arkhangai, Uvurkhangai, Umnugobi, and Bayankhongor. 5 girls and 9 men, ages between 15 and 45. Even though they very different from each other they all have one purpose for doing DTS: that is to know God more deeply and make Him known to others, and change their lives. Knowing God will change their lives as He changed my life. I am sure that God will use each one of them to shape them. Also they will go through deliverance with God and receive healing from Father God. I pray that they grow in their relationship with God.

This week Sansar is teaching about Spiritually authority.

This is what we have done in the past year

“New Generation” youth conference

29th – 31st of July we organized the conference successfully. In this conference 80 youth participated. During the 3 day conference the youth learned about Joseph, Paul and Joshua’s life. Also they learned from each other, they had a wonderful time at the camp.
On the first of the conference Michaja preached about Joseph’s life. From this they learned from Joseph’s life that God wants us to have a forgiven heart, when we forgive each other God rejoices, sings over us. Having a forgiven heart is being free. In their heart they made a decision to forgive others. Second day they pastor Sundui and Yunren preached about Paul and his life that how God called us, what our purpose of life is, how to preach the gospel. On third day Jardel preached about Joshua and his life. From Joshua’s life they learned that with faith we please with God, without faith it is impossible to please God. The New Generation must have a forgiven heart, faith and heart for mission.
We are so happy that God really blessed the youth through the conference. Thank you for your prayer and support. We are planning and praying for to organize this conference next year again.

“New Generation” youth conference

29^th -31^st of July we are going to have a youth conference, called “New Generation”. The youth of Mongolia are a new generation. They are starting a Christian generation, who know the living God. They will change this nation. They will start the wind of change. We want to encourage them through this 3 day conference. They will have nice fellowship with one another, learn more about God, and serve the community. A Swiss team is coming to be a part of the conference.

We want you to pray for us to organize this conference successfully, and for the youth to be encouraged by God’s word, and spread the Gospel throughout the nation. Pray that the youth will catch on fire and change the nation.

Update

Since we updated the last blog God did many things to us. Last month we had a French DTS team visit our YWAM BH center. They taught French culture and some music lessons. They were a blessing to us and the youth of Bayankhongor. Also one Korean DTS team visited the YWAM BH center. They are doing their outreach here in Bayankhongor. They are teaching keyboard, vocal and Korean language and culture to the youth. We are happy to have them.

Abortion seminar for youth

During the last few years the abortion rate has been increasing in Mongolia. Many young girls are having abortion for many reasons. One reason is having little or no information. They don’t know about the consequences of abortion. Because of this the Youth center was praying for a way to organize a teaching about pregnancy and abortion. God answered our prayer and opened a door for us. We invited JCS’s worker Anne Biro to have a seminar about this. Seminars were organized at two high schools, a college, the hospital, and a church. 530 people attended these seminars. We hope that many people gained good  information from these seminars. Also we want to say thank you to Anne Biro. 

Changing life

TESTEMONY…about a 19 year old girl, WOW her story is amazing. After knowing her story I wondered: “How did this girl get here?”  It was really God himself that brought her for sure.  Ogui(not her real name) as a baby was given by her parents to two Buddhist Monks (a couple). Ogui was very sick, her parents didn’t want to give her away, but the Monks said that the baby was going to die, if they would not give her to them. (The Monk couple could not have children).  She grew up in a Buddhist temple and became a Monk too; she memorized 4 books of Buddhism. When she was 7 years old her Monk parents died in a car accident. Oguii became orphan and after that her life just got worse and worse…by a miracle when she was 14 years old she found her real parents and they were Christians. She went to church sometimes but she still worked as a Monk in the Buddhism temple, but her parents did not know that.  Last outreach our DTS team went to the city where Ogui lives and they preached the gospel to her and invited her to do DTS. Since then God did many things to bring her to our School.

 God is doing amazing things in Oguis life, in our school she went through deliverance, forgiveness, inner healing; she is growing in her relationship with God and with other people.  She is changing a lot and God is using her as a powerful testimony to the Mongolian people. She is happy to be free and that she found the Living God.  Please pray for her and for all the students…

News

Yesterday our students went to outreach. Our prayer for them is to be lead by the Holy Spirit, where ever they go God’s miracles follow them as Jesus promised, and to be united as one body in Christ. We pray that they will learn Gods specific will for each of their lives as they are applying the truths they have learned during the DTS. Please pray for them with us.

YWAM Colorado team came to our YWAB-BH center. They are teaching English to church members and Bayankhongor’s judges.  They will stay here for 3 weeks.  They are being blesssing for us. 

Outreach

After two weeks lecture our students are going to outreach for seven weeks. This time we are divided into two group. One team is going to Khovd province which is the largest western province of Mongolia. They will help the community churches. Another team is going to Gobi-Altai province. This province is also a western province. There are very few Christian churches in this province, so this team’s main goal will be sharing the gospel with the local people. Also to pray for planting more churches in Gobi-Altai. Please pray for our students to finish their outreach successfully, to reach out and bring people to Christ and to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Anointing service

Last Thursday we had a special service at YWAM center. Sansar, Tsetsgee, Mega, Baska, Bagi, Ulzi, and Otgo were anointed to mission and to be on staff. For us this was a special event. Our staff made a decision to follow God the rest of their life. They are willing to go where ever God calls them.
After this service Jardel and Inez washed all of the staff’s feet. Through this action they encouraged us to serve to God more humbly. For all of us, these events reminded us of how God loves us and what He wants us to do for other people. It wasn’t just a reminder to us of God’s love, it was more than this. It reminded us of who we are in God, and what is our calling.

This week pastor Joliam Sampaio is teaching about “World Mission”. Through his teaching he is encouraging the Mongolian people to the mission field. He has being a big blessing for all of us.

Evangelism

Last Saturday the DTS students preached the gospel for the 15 kids in the Box club. We invited them to the YWAM school for a fellowship time, the students also presented a drama for them. Afterwards we all played basketball and volleyball together. All the kids were very excited and they really enjoyed being with us. We are sure that through our friendship God can set little seeds in their hearts.

Praise God for the great opportunity

Last Monday we met all judges and did a presentation of the marriage course. All the Judges were very excited about the ministry. Then they dicided to partner with us. Haleluia! Thanks for your prayers. Please keep praying for us, now we have a lot of work to do and a bigger responsability. This week we had an open ceremony for the 4th marriage couple course, we will have two groups running, please pray for the teachers and for the couples.

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…

Evangelism at Shargalzut village

Last Saturday we went to Shargalzut village, which is 60km from Bayankhongor city. There is no Church in that village yet, but there are some believers. We spent 2 days in the village. We preached about Jesus to the village people, and some people received Jesus as their savior. When we were sharing about Jesus to them, we felt that God really wanted to touch their lives. One of our students whose name is Otgonsuren used to be a Buddhist monk, when she shared her personal testimony, it really touched people’s heart. God is changing her in a powerful way. It is a blessings for us to see how God is working in her heart and changing her life.

Evangelism

Every Saturday the students go to the street or to the countryside villages to share the gospel with nonbelievers. So last Saturday the staff and students visited the nursing home and helped them to clean, to prepare fire wood, we helped them in what we could. With that the students could experience preaching the good news through their actions and words. Some of our students washed and cut their hair. It was a good time, for all of us. We were happy for being used by God in many ways, and that He was blessing other people through us. (Test 024, sain medee 303)

Inner Healing

Mark Ferreti is blessing our DTS students with his teaching and Ministry. Our Students are getting delivered by God's forgiven heart. Please pray for this week as God is doing an amazing healing in our Students lives. Thanks

Wrestling Tournament

YWAM Bayankhongor organized a wrestling tournament for the youth in BH. We had a group of 16 participants that came from different places of BH State. Some of the participants were DTS graduated students, Church leaders and the others were mostly non-Christians. It was a good time, where we could interact with non-Christian and we also had opportunity to make friendship and share the Gospel with them.
