When Communism fell in 1991, there were only a handful of Mongolians who followed Jesus. Today, there are more than 32,000 Christians—about 1% of the population. That number is down from a high of about 60,000 in 2010, indicating a crisis of leadership in the Mongolian church and a need for church leaders to receive the biblical education and leadership development needed to lead and disciple their flocks of young believers.
