Prison Bible Study Project

Cost: $5,400

The Prison Bible Study Project is a one-year discipleship initiative designed to establish and strengthen Bible Study communities in four prison facilities across Mongolia. 

Over the course of the project, approximately 120 inmates will participate receiving intentional discipleship, encouragement, and opportunities for spiritual leadership development. 

With your help, this project will not only to help inmates encounter Christ through Scripture, but also encourage the development of disciple-makers who can positively influence fellow inmates and continue spiritual conversations within their communities.

Bible Translation Project

Cost: $39,760

Approximately 180,000 Mongolians live in the Xinjiang region of China. Among them are Oirat Mongolians who continue to use the Todo Script as part of their cultural and linguistic heritage. 

Unfortunately, Todo Script has been largely removed from the formal education system, resulting in a severe shortage of books, educational resources, and reading materials published in this script. Today, there are currently no accessible Scripture resources available for regular use, restricting opportunities for Todo Script readers to interact with God’s word in the script they are most comfortable with and understand easiest.

This project serves as a strategic investment in the spiritual development of Oirat Mongolians. By providing the Gospel in their traditional script, we will be able to empower local believers, strengthen church leadership, and create a sustainable foundation for future Christian literature.

Simply The Story Expansion

Cost:$20,000

The Simply The Story (STS) Regional Expansion Project is a one-year discipleship and leadership development initiative designed to accelerate oral Bible movements across Mongolia and neighboring regions. The project will equip 40 new storytellers, establish 5 multiplying oral Bible study groups, launch oral Scripture ministry foundations in strategic regions of China and Russia, and convene a regional leadership summit for more than 70 emerging and experienced ministry leaders.

The local storytellers and regional leaders emerging from this cycle will not leave behind a program; they will carry a lifelong tool to plant house churches, lead small groups, and make disciples in open markets, remote family homes, and restricted regions where traditional missionaries cannot go.

Regional Base Initiative

Total Cost: $247,500

Grow Mongolia (GM) has identified 9 key strategic regional locations where we aim to establish long-term ministry hubs to decentralize their efforts, reach unreached areas, and multiply local leaders and movements.

For the remainder of 2025, GM aims to acquire land for two ministry hubs, begin building pilot business-integrated centers, and create a funding plan for seven more bases involving the prayer and feedback from several of their partners.

These bases enable GM to establish a secure, long-term presence in regional areas, operate multipurpose hubs for training, discipleship, business, and community outreach, safeguard ministry operations through property ownership, strengthen local leadership with culturally relevant approaches, and provide a scalable framework for expanding into other unreached or strategic locations.

The total estimated cost for the project is $247,500. This includes approximately $151,000 for the Ulaanbaatar base. The Dornod Province base is projected at $74,000 for similar expenses. An additional $22,500 is allocated to account for inflation and rising costs.

New Headquarters

Project Need: $200,000

Grow Mongolia plans to buy 80-100m² of office space in Ulaanbaatar for $200,000 to serve as a headquarters and support 9 ministry hubs by 2026. Currently, they rent unsuitable residential space, costing over $100,000 and limiting use. Buying will cut costs, improve efficiency, and provide a stable base for growth.

The office will serve as a central hub to coordinate and support the establishment of eight additional ministry bases across Greater Mongolia. This will improve ministry operations, program quality, and follow-up efforts, while increasing volunteer engagement and collaboration. Lower operating costs will enhance financial stability and resource availability, leading to greater productivity and a better working environment for staff.

Dormitory Project

Project Need: $180,000

The Dormitory project’s goal is to buy a dormitory for the daughters of rural pastors in Central Asia who are attending university. This safe housing will allow them to study the Bible and grow in their faith without facing discrimination from Muslim relatives and communities. The facility will also serve as a location for The Lord’s Supper Church Ministry, hosting Sunday worship, English Bible studies, and multi-ethnic community outreach.

When daughters of rural pastors move to cities like Bishkek for university, they often face challenges. Financial struggles prevent many pastors from affording proper housing, leading students to live with Muslim relatives or in Muslim-majority dormitories. This situation often results in students facing pressure to convert to Islam and losing their faith. Additionally, The Lord's Supper Church struggles to rent worship space because Muslim landlords frequently refuse to lease to Christian groups. The project's goals are to secure funding by December 2025 and complete the property purchase within two months.

The facility will accommodate 12 female students, providing them with a safe and faith-supportive environment. Students will participate in weekly Bible study and prayer sessions while attending their respective churches on Sundays. The facility will also house the full-time and part-time staff of the Grow Mongolia Ministry and partner organizations.

The project is expected to have several positive outcomes. Each year, 12 students will gain a safe living environment where they can study the Bible and live as disciples of Christ. The overall effectiveness and quality of ministry operations will improve. The Lord's Supper Church will secure a stable place for worship and disciple-making. Furthermore, Bible study sessions offered in English, Russian, and Mongolian will create opportunities for people from various nations to hear the Gospel. The ministry's impact will be enhanced by the increased participation of volunteers and partner organizations. Finally, reduced operational costs will lead to better resource allocation and financial stability.
