We have some very good news from Mongolia! As I am writing these lines to you from Mongolia, we are witnessing the GCMM high-impact evangelism media campaign has been extended. We were presented with the number of responses at the campaign office today and the campaign is bringing in beautiful results.
We are one-third of the way through the mega city campaign. So far, the call centre has received over 300,000 responses from Mongolians, who want to know more about God’s power and the profound life change of Mongolian believers as presented prominently in media across the city of Ulaanbaatar. For a nation with a population of 3.3 million people, this means that the hearts of one in ten Mongolians have already been stirred, triggering a response.

For every person who has responded, it represents a multitude of people who were impacted but did not pick up a phone or go to a computer. For many, the work of the Holy Spirit is still in process. Thousands of calls and SMS messages have already come in with requests for a copy of the Power to Change campaign book. The campaign book is the primary tool for the churches as they reach out one-on-one and follow up with those responding to the campaign message.
As we stood in the campaign office, one of the callers who was a young woman walked in to receive her copy of the book. She was from an affluent side of society. She had called in a few days earlier and wanted to stop by to personally pick up her copy.
The life-changing stories in the book are being showcased on television, outdoor ads, billboards, apartment blocks, the public transportation system, radio, as well as far-reaching social media platforms. This has afforded the Mongolian church to greatly accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission by taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their countrymen in an unprecedented way. Had the churches worked individually without the benefit of media, it would have taken the church 50-100 years longer to reach their people by conventional means.

On the way back to home base, our GCMM team stopped by a hillside Shamanist site where ancestral spirit worshippers gather for their rituals. Their loud drum beat and chants can be heard around the valley at night. Those living in proximity to the site are irritated by the noise. Shamans seek to intimidate and threaten families living close enough to be exposed to their rituals. They threaten families by saying that if one member of a family does not join them to become a Shaman, grave suffering and tribulation will fall upon the family.
Contrast that with the words of Jesus: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes on Him would not perish but have everlasting life!” and “The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost!” (Luke 19:10).
The Mega City Evangelism Campaign will continue in Mongolia until the end of December. It is a ministry “to the ends of the earth” as Jesus had commissioned his followers to go and do (Acts 1:8).

True, we live in very troubling times. But we remain focused on getting on with the task that Jesus gave his church, yes, amidst the calamity and the news of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and rumors of other wars. Jesus foretold this in Matthew 24:6-13: You will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. And in verse 14 Jesus promised that this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
We ask you to pray for the continued presence of the Holy Spirit upon this bold Mongolia campaign and for the protection of the staff in this Buddhist and Shamanist nation. We do lack the funds to cover the outstanding bills from media agencies. Media campaigns are costly, but they are ever so very effective in taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.
Thank you for partnering with us in this end-time harvest.
