Passion And Perseverence

The passion that God has given us to win souls in Mongolia, as a family and as a church, is something we have felt from the very beginning of our ministry. There is no doubt that Mongolia has a special prophetic destiny to reach the nations with the love of Christ. It is an honor to have been chosen to be a part of the equipping and teaching of this new Army of Mongolian warriors, who no longer fight to expand earthly kingdoms, but whose goal is to expand the Kingdom of Heaven.

A life of service to God has its ups and downs. Nevertheless, we are happy to have chosen this path and are secure in knowing that He leads us where He wills. Over the past year or so it has become more clear to us than ever that the churches and ministries He has entrusted to us are HIS, not ours (what a concept!) That's nothing new, obviously, but often, in the heat of ministry it's easy to lose sight of this truth. We feel the need to carry the burden of ministry and servitude when we should be casting our cares on the Lord because He cares for us.

Wherever you are serving, please be encouraged and remember that the work He called you to do is His.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew11:28-30
