Sundui is a pastor in rural Mongolia. Because of the leadership training and mentoring of Asian Outreach, Sundui’s church and ministry have become an amazing success. His vision for seeing Mongolia transformed by the love of Christ is becoming a reality.
When Sundui was a teenager he accepted Jesus as his Savior. He then went through a ten year period where he lost his faith and drank a lot of alcohol, and got involved in many destructive things. He became careless of his family, and felt that everything was meaningless and hopeless. Meanwhile, his wife had become a Christian and started persuading him to go to church. In 2000, Sundui and his family moved into Bayankhongor province. One day he went to church with his wife, and the message touched him deep in his heart. Then, a few days later, he met an old friend who shared Christ’s love with him. When he understood that God never left him and still loves him he cried loudly and uncontrollably, followed by a deep sense of peace and joy. He never drank alcohol again.
He really wanted to spread his joy and God’s truth with others, and he started to share the gospel everywhere with anyone. At the beginning nobody wanted to hear him. But the changes in his life influenced people who knew him well. God gave him a big vision, and ten months later with some friends, he started Salvation Church in Bayankhongor. He didn’t have any pastoral experience so it was a difficult journey for him. Not long after, in 2004, he met with Genesis-AOM and attended Great Commission Institute
(GCI) training.
Since then, Genesis-AOM has been mentoring the church, and sent a family to the church for three months to help teach, follow-up and demonstrate how to lead the church. They have also been running GCI training, leadership conferences, and support programs. The results of this mentoring partnership have been astounding. The church has now made mission trips to most of the 20 counties of the province and planted new churches there. Over the course of three years, 20,000 people have heard the gospel, 10,000 people have accepted Jesus and many people are serving the Lord faithfully throughout the province. Since 2005, a total of 22 new churches have been planted, 15 of them in the rural counties. Ten of these are being led by local emerging leaders. Five pastors, 25 church leaders and 30 assistant leaders have been developed from within the church. The goal is to saturate every village and county with the gospel within the next ten years, and to plant churches in Ovorkhangai, Gobi Altai, Zavkhan and Uvs provinces, neighbors to Bayankhongor.
You and your church can be a part of this exciting growth in the Mongolian church and around Asia, where many lives are being changed and communities are experiencing radical transformation. With your partnership, we can magnify the impact!
