Second Generation

We're back in UB, and contact with family and friends has taken priority over showers and laundry. All the blogs from camp have been posted, in the order they were written, but they probably have to be read from the bottom up.

Overall, camp went really well. The team was full of energy and new ideas, flexible with the rainy weather. It was great to see this Mongolian team all grown up.

Erik made the point one day that we are now working with the second generation of Young Life in Mongolia. Magnai is Coach's son. Anji is Chuka's daughter. There is a mother and two daughters involved in Darhan. Nara and Puche's son is a leader. Taivan's little brother, Bilge is coming on staff this fall. Tuvsa, Jackie's son, will also be returning to staff in the fall.

This second generation has handled camp so well. At Say So the first week about half the kids responded to the gospel for the first time. The second week saw a greater number of second timers and recommitments, with about fifteen first time decisions. We are encouraging the team to spread and do more contact work and more club, while continuing the work they are doing with campaigners.

We are very proud of our young Mongolian friends and the work they are doing in the name of Christ. Kids are hearing the good news. And they are responding. Please continue to pray for this young team as they move forward into the new year of Young Life and meet new kids and new challenges along the way.
