Peripheral Mongolian in China
mahng-GOAL-ee-un
Mongols in Inner Mongolia survive bitter winters and have traditionally lived in yurts (tents), racing their horses and raising livestock. From a very young age children learn to ride and feel at home on the saddle. There might be as many as 60 Mongol subgroups! Many converted to Christianity between the seventh and fourteenth centuries.
Ministry Obstacles
Shamanism is a spiritual obstacle that needs to be overcome by the faithful prayers of the saints.
Outreach Ideas
Christian broadcasting is available, and the translation of the New Testament is a work in progress. The literacy rate is high, so the Mongols can be reached with printed materials.
Scripture Focus
"Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul." Psalm 66:16
Scripture Prayer
Pray for bold testimonies of the Lord’s deeds to come from today’s people group.
Prayer Focus
There are 12,000 known followers of Christ. Pray for a strong church planting movement to rapidly increase these numbers, especially in rural areas. Pray for the Mongol peoples to turn to the power of the Holy Spirit rather than that of their shamans. Pray there would be many from every different tribe of Mongols represented at the throne of Jesus. Pray for the JESUS Film to be made available in Mongol dialects and widely distributed.
