Two young children, members of a herder community in Tarialan, Mongolia, wander the slopes of one of the highest countries in the world. At least 40% of Mongolians live a nomadic lifestyle, regularly herding their animals to greener pastures. With the end of communism and religious oppression in 1991, the church has grown rapidly and when a New Testament translation into Halh (Mongol) was published in 2000 all ten thousand copies sold out on the first day. Many of Mongolia’s other 13 unique language communities have some scripture portions available to them, but need more. Please pray for the growing church in Mongolia.

This is the latest in an (ad hoc) series of blogs from other sources across Wycliffe, 'showcasing' the huge range of impact our work helps to bring about. As we start a new year, we hope it reminds and encourages you of the connections, sometimes clear and sometimes very fuzzy, between what we are doing and the lives of real peoples all over the world.
