People in Mongolia to hear gospel

AKIPRESS.COM - microphone More people in Mongolia will be able to hear the gospel proclaimed thanks to a ministry partnership.

Far East Broadcasting Company International, Moody Global Ministries and Reach Beyond joined forces to raise more than $300,000 to fund three new radio stations that will repeat the Christian programming that originates from a station in Mongolia's capital city.

The increased capacity will allow broadcasters to reach an estimated 75 percent of the former communist country that borders China and Russia.

Approximately half of the country's three million people identify as Buddhist while more than a third describe themselves as non-religious.

Jon Fugler, vice president for advancement with Reach Beyond, says they are excited for the expansion because of the success of the first station, which saw people come to Christ and churches being born.

"And believers will come together, people will come to Christ, churches will be born," he says of the gospel effort. "That's really the ultimate. That's not just evangelism but it turns into discipleship."

The ministries hope to have the radio stations up and running by the end of the year.

The operational costs for the first year have already been provided.
