Dream House ceremony
All five houses that were built with World Vision and HAB are technically finished. They had a ceremony today and small open house for people to come and see the work that was done. Here are a few pictures of the ceremony and hopefully soon we can have some inside shots in a week or two.
Winter drink give away
In January for HAB's project they gave away a common Mongolian winter drink called Artz. It is made from yogurt curds and milk with a little sugar. Jeff likes it a lot Shauna is still not used to it yet. The church pastors meet every Friday and one Friday they went to the goverment building, World Vision, YWAM, and JCS and passed out this drink to the people. This is a way for us to show the love of Christ in our community.
New People Party
Between Christmas and New Years all the church's had a party celebrating all the new people who have been coming to church and to encourage those who had been sharing the gospel. There were 50+ new people at the party in the past month. They played Wii, sang karoke, played group games, danced, and had an all around good time.

dream house
This Summer we had two teams come from America to help us build 5 houses for the Dream House Project. They were such a huge blessing to us and the Mongolian families that they served. They worked with Jeff and 2 Mongolian teams to build these houses and one of the teams is now building our friends Ahior's house. During the time that they worked with Jeff they asked some questions about Christianity and now that they are working on Ahior's house. His family has been sharing with them about Jesus. Here is Ghana and his fiance Tsetsgee. They really learned a lot about building a wood frame house and doing a great job!!
Our House
This summer we have been doing some work on our own house but Shauna has been working really hard on our garden. We also know we haven't posted any new photos of the house being finished so here we go.
Missions Conference
This past April HAB put on a mission conference for the state of Bayankhongor and the state of Hovd. They talked about meeting the western states for Jesus.

Mongolian Happenings
This spring Jeff has been mentoring two men from our church. During one of those meetings they went through the process of how to share about Jesus using the Roman's road passages. He challenged them to share this with their unbelieving friends. A few weeks later Aagii and his wife went out on a young people's outreach to a different town and shared the Roman's road with an unbeliever and the person accepted Christ as his savior. We are so excited for them as they share their faith and see how God is working in their lives and the lives of people around them. Another Story... Just this past week our friend Boldoo's mom passed away. She was a believer but some of her family and friends were Buddhist. Jeff had performed the funeral for the family since none of the other pastors were around. Just yesterday Boldoo came to our house to share about what had been happening in his life. He had been taking a lot of ridicule from his neighbors and his aunt for not a lighting Buddhist candle in their ger to signify his mother's death and her mourning. He came to us looking for a way to substitute the Buddhist tradition with something from the Bible to help explain to people his faith in Christ. As they were talking Jeff thought of the verse in the Psalms, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Jeff said to Boldoo, the Bible is our candle, it is our light and instead of placing the candle on the table place the Word of God on the table with this verse circled and share with people about how this is our candle, the Word of God.
