Mongolia
By some estimates, Mongolia has been — until recently — the least evangelized country on the face of the earth. In 1990 Mongolia renounced seventy years of communism, and established a multiparty democracy. Since then the country has been open to the presence of outsiders — including Christians. Mongolia is home to approximately 2.7 million persons in 20 distinct people groups. By recent estimate, approximately 50% of the population are practicing animists; 26% are Buddhists; 20% are non-religious; 4% are Muslim. Christians may number approximately 0.7%. Seventeen of Mongolia’s 20 people groups are considered unreached.
For over forty years the World Mission Prayer League has prayed for the people of the Tibetan Buddhist world — and among them, the people of Mongolia. We partner today in the ministries of Joint Christian Services International, in wholistic outreach to the people of Mongolia.
