Ger Makeover

You know the show "Home Make Over" well the churches of Bayankhongor were able to do a "Ger Make Over" Mongolia style. Early this past summer we took an offering amoung all the believers for the poor of Bayankhongor. From people giving around $1 we had 1,000 USD to help the poor. We decided to help one family really well.

The family we chose has been living in a wood house with no insulation. A few years ago the Husband's brother got married and so they gave up their ger as a wedding gift. He works with his hands making ger furniture, the wife helps him when she can but has no strength in her hands. They have 3 children.

We first bought some wood and ordered some ger furniture to be built by the Husband. The local church donated a used ger that we cleaned up and bought new coverings for. From the 1,000 USD we had the ger furniture built, ger coverings, refridgerator, washing machine, and kitchen things. (No matter what you say the Mongolian ger is by far the most cost effective way to live here in BH)

That morning we took the family around town where a shop gave them a TV and another one gave them some clothing. When they came home they found they had a new place. They were very surprised and it was a huge blessing to them. When the Church acts like the Church is supposed to Amazing things like this happen.

Praise God
