Team Central Asia ‘11
Biola University
Leaders: Kyle Donn & Miles Bocianski
Team Verse:
“Be strong, and let us use our strength for our people and for the
cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to him."
1 Chronicles 19:13
Vision Statement:
“Together, we will contribute to the further ushering in of Christ’s Kingdom, preparing our hearts for service through prayer and fasting – rooting ourselves in prayer for the people we will serve. In simply being present and sharing the joy we have in the Gospel with the nomadic peoples of Mongolia who have never heard, it is our aspiration to make Christ known where He has been unknown, glorifying Him and further reconciling our own hearts and the hearts of others to The Father. It is by submission to the agenda of the Holy Spirit that we will live and move among the Mongol people; consecrated by The Spirit we will do only what He has appointed for us to do, no more, no less. As the Spirit gives boldness we will go and preach the Gospel, disregarding our personal comforts, with focus devoted entirely to our soon returning King.”
Goal Statement:
“It is our goal to speak the Gospel boldly in Christ to Nomads, as men of sincerity and as those commissioned by God. It is our goal to carry ourselves in a manner worthy of the calling we have received, and therein shine the light of Christ into every Ger we enter. Christ glorified by hearts reconciled to the Father. It is our goal to honor and love one another so that we may act in the unity of the Spirit. It is our goal to completely relinquish control to The Holy Spirit, so that He may do what seems good to Him: that by our strength He may be glorified as we trek far and long to find unreached peoples; that by our attitudes He may be made known as we learn the secret to being content in all things; that by our love He may be revealed as we sit and learn from the least, the last, and the lost.”

Did you know that your Mongolian prayer card above does not picture a Mongolian, but a Kazakh ? The languages and looks of the people are as different as an English and a Spanish person! That's OK...maybe the Lord will have you meet some Kazakhs here too--10% of the nation.:-) About half of them speak some Mongolian, and they are the least reached of all the minority groups here. Blessings on your team, my friend! We will probably see you soon.....Sarah Mechler
