Mullers in Mongolia

The past couple of weeks have been exciting for us.  First, we had a very unusual thing happen for the first week of our special services this month.  We, of course, tried to get our friends and acquaintances in to hear the Gospel; and we did have about ten such unsaved people in our service on the 10th.  But beside them, there were 8 people that just came in having seen our sign, not knowing that we were having special services, but having asked about our schedule from some of our children that were playing outside at the time!  I have [...]

Hello, We are in out fourth week of our summer camp. It is our second teen week. I believe that the devil is fighting us, and we would appreciate your prayers. We had 20 teens today with a few new teens to preach the Gospel to. I hope for a few more tomorrow, as over 30 kids registered to come. I encouraged the teens today to try to get the ones who didn't come today to come tomorrow. We had a good response to our invitations in our two weeks of junior camp. We had about 15 that responded to the [...]

Good news! Our church registration, which ran out last October, just got renewed!  That is the cause of us having to leave, so we should be on track to go back on our planned date of March 20th.  There are several hoops to jump through before that, however.  So we would appreciate your continued prayers. They have been having good attendance since we left, with two or three new families coming.  Teen attendance has maintained and even increased some, I think, since we came back, so we are rejoicing in that.  Children's church attendance has dropped slightly in the cold of [...]

Hello, Yesterday morning was very rainy, which affected our attendance somewhat.  We were supposed to have three new kids from an area which I have just started working in, but I'm sure the rain affected their decision.  We did have a woman come in the evening from that area, the "first fruits" from our efforts there.  We will try to visit her the Tuesday. We had four unsaved people to preach the Gospel to yesterday morning.  One is the younger brother of one of our ladies.  He might be facing a jail sentence of up to 8 years for a incident [...]

Hello, I haven't gotten in the habit of taking pictures yet, so I don't have any for you this week.  But part of the reason I don't have pictures is a blessing.  I wanted to get a couple of pictures right after the service, but I was too busy.  I preached on the helmet of salvation from Eph. 6, and had some response... A young man came this past Sunday who came when he was a kid to one of our summer programs.  We have tried to get him to come several times over the past couple of years, but Sunday [...]

Hello, God is mercifully blessing our VBS.  We had over 20 kids in both age groups over the past two weeks, and several raised their hands at the salvation invitation on the last day.  They are being followed up on.  We had several of the new kids in church Sunday morning, so we are rejoicing in that. We had 23 teens with several first-timers in the first day of teen week today!  That is a huge blessing!  We pray that they will be back tomorrow, as some of the new ones are 16 years old and pretty worldly.  But they seemed [...]

Hello, We have been seeing adult visitors come lately, which is a big blessing.  We have also seen good results from our Saturday visiting, with new kids coming almost every week.  Our van has been full for the last few Sundays. I have three men that I am working with at present.  One I believe is saved and we are doing a discipleship course.  Another is supposed to come for a salvation lesson tomorrow.  The third is a friend that we have  known almost since we came here.  I got him started on the discipleship lesson this last Sunday.  The first [...]

Hello, On the 18th of March was Soldiers' Day, which is basically a holiday for men.  It is not actually much of a holiday, but it is a good excuse to have a special program for men.  We had 17 men, with about half coming from another church.  We didn't beat the women, who had 29 on International Women's Day on the 8th, but it was the best-attended men's program we have ever had; and I the best program for women we have had, also. We had several visitors for Easter Sunday.  We have been playing in a gym on the [...]

Hello, We have been in the grip of winter for the past few weeks.  It has been relatively cold after warmer winters the last few years.  The break from school sends many of our church kids to the countryside or relatives', and the Asian New Year puts a stop to all activity for about a week.  But it is a good time as a change of pace, and we look forward to the changes that will occur after the New Year.  The Asian New Year officially marks the start of spring, and temperatures do start to come up normally.  The kids [...]
