Domino Effect

Sometimes weird things happen.  For instance, I put on this hat for warmth and start to feel fashionable.  I look in the mirror and feel like I should be in Mongolia.  I dream about Mongolia all weekend long and blog about it.

 

 

This is the very fashionable me pretending I'm in Mongolia.  Yep, I'm running away from men on horseback hunting for gazelle.  They have spears.  By the way, I just bluetoothed this from my phone to my computer.  What?!?  Technology these days.

 

Back to Mongolia.  It's right north of China.  Run across the Great Wall of China and wha bam you're there.  When I think of Mongolia I think cold, frost bitten cheeks.  Come to find out it has more the climate of Oklahoma with summers that aren't so hot and winters that are a little more cold.

 

Not to mention it's official website has hiking as an activity.  I am a wanna be hiker so this makes my heart go pitter patter.  There is also camel riding and wildlife watching. 

 

Most Mongols are nomadic and wander from pasture to pasture with their sheep.  Some have become permanent farmers and other live in cities due to the influence of the Soviet Union. 

 

They eat fat (yes straight up fat) and mutton (sheep) most of the time.  They live in these tents that look like yurts.   I love these things and plan to stay in one eventually.  It's on my bucket list.

 

Their two main religions are their ethnic religions with medicine men and Buddhism while the rest are classified as non-religious.

 

The Joshua Project lists these ways we can pray for this man and his countrymen.

* Pray that Christian workers would have unity as they reach this large unreached people group for Jesus.
* Pray that the Mongol men would rise up to become strong in the Lord.
* Pray that God will open the hearts of the Khalkha Mongol government leaders to the Gospel.
* Ask God to set the Khalkha Mongol free from their bondage to occultism and Shamanistic beliefs.
* Pray that the doors of Mongolia will soon open to Christian missionaries.
* Pray that God will reveal Himself to the Khalkha Mongol through dreams and visions.
* Pray that alcoholism, violence, and divorce will be wiped out.
* Ask God to raise up teams of intercessors who will faithfully stand in the gap for the Khalkha Mongol.
* Pray that Christians will have opportunities to introduce the Khalkha Mongol to the Prince of Peace.
