Dear brothers and sisters,
Its the last week of the term, how are u guys coping with the exams? Preparation so far so good? aniwaiz, besides thinking about our exam, lets not forget about our Mongolian ministry and try to sell the cards(though i haven't been doing a good job in that either). add oil for God's kingdom.
And thanks so much for our event last week. Chocolate fondue!thanks Shu yi for the fabulous idea. as for tonight's Narnia movie event, lets keep it in prayer as well =)
Mongolia

2 Biblical translations

**Freedom of religion exists in MOngolia through the constitution; Lamaistic Buddhism has since seen a resurgence
Prayer Points:
-Buddhism and Shamanism have been on the increase since the fall of Communism; many ancient spiritual practices are gaining popularity again. Pray that the Mongolian people would search for the Truth of the gospel of Christ
-The Church in Mongolia is relatively new and lacks trained leadership; pray for disciples and teachers among them
-The weak national structure of Mongolia often makes ministry planning difficult with poor travel and communication; pray for an increase of resources.
-adpoted from " A Billion wait..."
Let's pray for this country this week. Amen!
