Jesus Assembly church

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD ,

and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God .

Isaiah 62:3

Lord's blessings to Jesus Assembly

T hank you so much for praying for our church. The provincial parliament meeting was held last week. This meeting was to determine if our church would have permission to continue or not. We presented all our documents as well as the projects and ministries we have done through our church. They saw the good things we are doing for the community. We discovered that while the lower authorities where more opposing in their attitudes the higher officials are much more open. During our meeting, one of the leaders showed a keen interest in our church and personally wants to visit one of our services. Every member of the committee voted for the continuation of our church and supported our work. We were so grateful for this. They told us that next month the Buddist temples will be checked in the same way and that they were going about these inspections equality and not only checking Christians.

The reopening of the church

After the successful meeting, all the church ministries are reviving and starting again.

This week we visited and prayed for eight church families. These families were sick or have just had new babies. When we met with people they all said how much they were missed church services and thought it was difficult without them. It seemed like since we stopped the services a kind of blessing or protection was gone and many people got sick during this last month. So everyone is so happy about the permission

to meet again. The children are especially happy to be able to go to Sunday school.

Community ministry

We are working hard toward reaching out to nonbelievers through community ministries. In the last year we worked through family ministry and seminars. Now in 2010 we want to work with youth and children as well as continuing family counseling. We want to minister to people with addictions, single mothers, and infants as well. We wrote up projects for these ministries and World Vision will support them this coming year. Please pray for these projects to be fruitful and reach those who don't know the Lord in our community.

This summer's ministries

The mother's group had a toddler and small children's summer activity. Mongolians have a tradition of going to the country in the summer to eat dairy products and bask in the sun for their health. The local children had a chance then to do this though they couldn't leave the city. They set up a Mongolian ger and got sand for the children to play in. They bought dairy products and opened it up for families who can not afford to go to the countryside with their children. We also opened a mother's group in the city of Darhan, two hours away. Mother's there asked us to help set up a group similar to the one we have here. They will meet once a month and we will send a representative from Erdenet each time to teach and assist them. There are many young mothers in the group who wish to raise their children in the Lord and need practical advice on how to do that. The mothers have not had other ladies to meet with and this support group was deeply appreciated. We were planning to host a (victorious life) seminar here this summer. Since the church was closed, the seminar was held in UlaanBaatar instead. About 50 people from our church attended. Everyone came away blessed and all felt they had learned many new things. Greetings from Jesus Assembly, Though the government has authority over us and can open and close our meetings, the Lord has all authority in His hand. All honor and praise to the Lord!

Introduction to Jesus Assembly Community of Blessing mercy ministries.

Our church Jesus Assembly was started in 1993. Three years later the Lord reminded us to care for the poor through a word from Isaiah 58:7-8. In the beginning,

the church had no finances for mercy ministries. Church members shared

food and other necessities from their own homes and we were able through their

giving to gather and feed the poorest children in our area. We fed street children,

orphans, and other children from very low income homes.

Today our mercy ministry has four parts:

Feeding program

We select from twenty to forty orphans yearly for a five day a week feeding

program. Along with a warm meal they receive Bible lessons and other educational

tutorials. The program is run during the school year.

Holy Hospice Ministry

This ministry is for cancer patients who are sent home from the hospital with

little time left to live. The workers visit these people's homes to care for them

practically and try to alleviate their suffering as well as they can. They pray for

the patients and share the Gospel with them.

Infant Care

This is primarily aimed at countering abortion. We provide counsel and support

to mothers who are considering abortion. We offer them options of adoption or

practical help if they chose to keep their babies.

One family, in particular, has been called to this ministry. They have helped

rescue a newborn that was found alive in a dumpster, several mothers who

had thought to have abortions and decided to keep their babies after some

practical help, and helping a baby who was dangerously malnourished.

Single mothers

The single mothers ministry offers help for widows, abandoned families, and

divorcees who have little or no financial resources. These women are particularly

vulnerable to rape and other harassment if they live alone. We offer them

simple accommodation rent free on the mercy ministry property to give them

and their children a more protected environment.

The mercy ministry was laid down for several years from 2006-2007 due to lack of

finances. We reopened it last year, funded completely by the church. Twenty children

were taught and fed after school. The difficult side of things is that we were

not able to financially help or support the people who worked there. Another sad

thing is that the building is has become very run down. It is so far gone that it is

more cost effective to build something new. We have not been able to decide what

to do about it yet. We would like to continue in the old building in the meantime but

are not able to get permission from the government to continue without a better

facility. Last year we ran the feeding program there without permission and do not

feel we can do that again this year. We would welcome advice and prayer in this

area as well.

Building

Please continue to pray about the purchase of a building for the

church. The owner of the "Daginas" building continues to ask us if

we are interested in buying. We answer that we want to and ask him

to please wait a little longer.
