With 36% of the population living below the poverty line, Mongolia is a third world country left in decay following the 1991 fall of Communism. Asian Outreach's Education and Community Development programs provide literacy classes, small business loans and training for poor and needy families. On the spiritual side, prior to 1990 there were only five known Christians in Mongolia.  That number has now increased to over 60,000. Asian Outreach has been closely involved in that change, training over 85% of Mongolia's Christian leaders through our Leadership programs.
