Remember Zamyn Uud

 

A New Project!

We’re excited to come along side a small group of believers in Zamyn Uud, Mongolia. They are a part of one of three churches which exist in the entire area. The thing about this small group of folks is that they don’t think small. They’ve already started a very cool daycare center for physically and mentally disabled children and want to do the same kind of thing for area senior citizens. Their vision is to show the love of Christ to the people of their community. They’ve started two cell groups and begun other works in three other locations in southern Mongolia. These folks are about the Kingdom, and showing the love of Jesus to as many as possible.

We’re going to try and help them build a two story building on land they’ve already acquired. The building will provde :

• a place for the children’s daycare


• a place for the planned Senior Citizen care facility


• a place for leadership training and discipleship


• a lighthouse and an oasis in the Gobi Desert

Please check out the short video I put together for this project and let me know if you want more information. We’re looking for partners in this project and want to see God raise up $40,000 through His people to make this vision come to pass.

Thanks for your partnership with us!

Hello Bernie,

This is very exciting. You may remember we met a year or so ago at your cafe. We are working with a number of churches and others, both here in UB and in the Gobi, helping them to support themselves through micro-enterprise training and support. We have seen a small number of good business start-ups in the Gobi, mostly in Umnugovi aimag.

I'm not sure we'd be able to help financially with the project itself, but there may be possibilities to help through micro-enterprise training.

Let me know what you think, and whatever, it would be great to catch up again.

Cheers,
Paul

Greensburg Alliance Church in Western Pennsylvania will be setting aside our Easter Offering throughout the month of April to support raising funds for the facility in Zamyn Uud. Paster Yim was at our church two weeks ago and began to move our hearts for Mongolia (his sermon is on-line at our church website). Our senior and worship pastors spoke to us today about how God has been opening doors for our church to partner with Mongolia. Even in my own family, my wife mentioned that she'd be interested in a short term missions trip there! We've recently revised our family budget to support raising money for the facility, too. We feel very blessed and honored to walk with God where he's working . . . in our hearts and in the uttermost parts of the earth.

Hi Andy! Great to hear from you guys. We are so grateful for your interest and potential partnership in Mongolia ... and particularly your interest in this particular project! We're taking vacation in the US during part of May and June in order be there for our son's graduation form Bible School. I've been in contact with Pastor Andy, and it looks like I'll be visiting your church on May 27th! It would be great to connect then!

Thanks for reading, commenting and taking interest ... but most of all thanks for praying!

Bernie

Hi Paul! Great to hear from you again!

Yes, perhaps sometime when you're in the city we can connect again ... I'd appreciate that. There may be some partnership possibilities, as the folks we're working with in the South are doing so much on their own anyway.

Give me a call when you're in town....
