Mongolia SOC

The School of Christ International was held in Mongolia's economically, poorly developed Sukhebaatar Province. The head of the mission in Mongolia from the Capital, laanbaatar, who organized this School, said that thirty students
were registered to attend. However, shortly before our arrival, it snowed, and some people fearing the weather would worsen did not come.

There are very few Christians in Sukhebaatar Province. In the small city of Barun Urt, there are only three churches with thirty people in each church. In other places, small groups of believers consist of school-age children. After finishing school, they leave for bigger cities where they can work and continue to study.

Fifteen students, missionaries, and leaders of various ministries came from the seven churches to attend the School of Christ. There has never been any Biblical training in this area. This kind of place is my priority, and I love serving these people.

The first two days of the School were tense. The students did not understand what we were trying to teach them. After the first day, I felt a lot of pressure and could not sleep. I began to pray and fast. The second day went much better, and another student arrived. He was a missionary and full of joy and energy. Then came the third day of training. I preached the "Almighty Blood Series." All of the students sat spellbound. It was visible that the Word was touching their hearts. Even the brother who arrived the day before was serious, and silently listened to the teaching. As usual, there was an hour of individual prayer at the end of the day. When the students began to pray, something happened: They began to cry and pray out loud as the Holy Spirit moved on them.

A missionary ran to the front of the building and began to cry and repent of his disobedience to God and sins. He then called on the other students to do the same. He said, "God has brought us to the School of Christ to change us and give us life." The next day, the whole atmosphere in the School changed completely.

Students listened eagerly to the teaching and responded vividly to the Word of God. I could see a real miracle happening. Brother Clendennen says in one of the lessons on the "Holy Spirit Series," "We often rejoice at the miracles of healing and casting out demons, but the greatest miracle occurs when a person's inner life is changed."

Praise God for the School of Christ! Praise the Lord that He filled people's hearts with His life. Thank you to everyone who supports the School of Christ. The SOC is an excellent tool for training true service for Christ!
