Latest Prayers by Sharing Christ Internationally

In one of the 50 countries where according to Open Doors, Christianity is most restricted, completely indigenously, without the least foreign involvement, through one national who is well qualified and studied for 36 years, the majority of church leaders who are nationals have come to completely reject the word which refers to Buddha for God. This usage was initiated by a Jesuit missionary long ago. They now agree to call God: “The eternal, unchanging supreme one”. They say identification with Buddha has seriously hampered the spread of the Gospel. They need much prayer, money and help to organise a nationwide conference.

Paul, as in the parable of the sower, planted the seed, “Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” (1 Corinthians 3.6-7) Please pray that God will bring Mongolians through to true conversion. God alone can do that. Only he is glorified in it.

Anyone can profess a faith in Christ. Jesus though said: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14.26-27 Please PRAY God causes people in Mongolia to multiply who comply with this.

Conversion involves complete turning from all forms of paganism. There can be no hanging on to any form of it, and no mingling of it with the Bible. The nature of God is nothing like any concept of paganism. Yet various Mongolians talk of ‘syncretism’ or ‘pantheism’ in Christianity. The Bible bans any mix with paganism. Please pray for clear proclamation of the nature of God which is radically distinct.

A Mongolian man correctly said people have no awareness of sin and believe that this life is all there is. They struggle to survive, and to get as much pleasure as possible. A Canadian man found Mongolians are nearly completely materialist with no interest in God. The Gospel goes out, but barely no interest is shown. We toil and toil but no human ability can make even one person repent. We go on in obedience and do not lose heart. PRAY that God will work in people.

Very many in Mongolia have yet to hear a clear presentation of the Gospel. Please pray for the ministry of Bible videos which are popular and seen by many thousands of Mongolians. The vast majority are not church attendees. Each video addresses a topic Mongolians have an interest in, yet presents clear Bible truth. Please pray for this ministry.

Wonsan 1903, Pyongyang 1907 - 1910, both now in N. Korea saw the open confess of sin, first by missionaries, then church elders, then others. Vast numbers of Koreans professed faith in Christ. Then similar in Manchuria under Jonathan Goforth 1911 - 1927 and in China under Marie Monsen 1927 - 1937. Never did Mongolia, Siberia or Tibet have such in 2000 years. PRAY God will move in Mongolia, especially as many thousands watch evangelistic videos by Bible Society of Mongolia on YouTube. In Mongolia many felt Christendom brought them little, so now it is hard to evangelise and seriously interested people, scarce.
