April Ministry Update

Dear Friends,

We are happy to update you all on the things God is doing through Christian Fellowship in Mongolia. 

Church:

The children’s ministry leaders recently took a few of the older children from children’s church to minister in nearby Selenge.  The team ministered God’s love to the children there and handed out Samaritan’s Purse gifts. 

On March 7 had a women’s network meeting and over 80 women attended.  Melanie spoke and they spent time in fellowship.  Most of these women are regular members of the church.  Some of these ladies are praying for unsaved husbands and children to come to God.  Please join us in praying for complete families to come to Christ. 

The youth meet regularly once a week and they are really growing.  Almost every week they have new people.  God is really using dramas and music to touch them. 

Countryside Works:

This month we are looking forward to meeting with all of our countryside leaders.  We are currently gearing up to make some changes in the Selenge church.  A young family from  Darkhan has asked to go and serve the church in Selenge.  They have 2 small children and are expecting again.  Please pray for them, Ganbold and Saraa. 

Darkhan Pastors’ Forum:

God has allowed Hetee to be chairman of the Pastors’ forum in our city for the past 4 years.  There are about 27 pastor/leader members and we come together once a month or so to encourage and build one another up.  These churches partner with each other and along with World Vision in various outreaches and activities.  We are praying for even more unity within the body of Christ in Darkhan and in Mongolia. It is amazing to see Darkhan’s churches working together as one body. We are currently arranging a youth conference for the northern region of Mongolia. Please pray for the Holy Spirit touch young peoples’ heart to change the communities.

TV ministry:

In January Hetee finished recording a 26 part series on “Who is Jesus” for television.  It took over 6 months to record.  The series is being broadcasted by Eagle TV and can be viewed in most cities throughout Mongolia.  So far, the ratings have been very high and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback. 

Prison ministry:

Since January, every Wednesday we have been sending a team to the local prison.  About 30 inmates regularly attend the weekly Bible teachings.  Our team has found favor with the guards and administrators of the prison.  With God’s help we have been able to donate 2 computers to their work. 

Thank you for your prayers and support.  God bless you!

Prayer requests:

• For a minivan for the church.  We have many elderly members who live out of the way so we are praying to purchase a small van that we could use to bring them to service.  
• For our health.  Melanie and I have both been battling exhaustion and we really need to be refreshed by God. 
• For God's direction and leading.  Please pray that we are able to hear His voice and obey what He would have us do.  

Hetee and Melanie
