Manmin News caught up with Missionary Batzorig who has returned to his homeland with a blazing passion for the salvation of souls.
 ~ Please update us on the status of the mission work in Mongolia.
The history of Christianity in Mongolia is less than 20 years. Only about 1-2% of the entire population is Christian while more than 90% is Tibetan Buddhist. As the people have worshipped idols for too long, this land abounds in poverty, diseases, and disasters. Yet, as the people of Mongolia have a heart to seek after a god, they express tremendous interest when the power of God is testified. Most members of Mongolia Manmin Church have experienced God's power.
~ How did you become a missionary?
I was born in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. All my family, including my parents and older brother and sister had gone to Korea to make money but I had to stay behind for studies. It was difficult to spend too much time alone especially when I was little.
When I visited Korea in December 1999, the church all my family was attending on Sundays was Manmin Central Church. Ever since my mother had been led to it and received the healing of arthritis in both of her legs by the Senior Pastor's prayer, the rest of the family began attending Manmin.
 I began going to Manmin once or twice a month and in August 2002, I received the fire of the Holy Spirit while attending a prayer meeting of the Young Adults Mission of which my sister was a member. Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center, placed her hand upon me and I immediately began rending my heart in repentance.
From that day on, all I wanted to do was to lead a good and diligent life in Christ. I listened to more than 10 of the Senior Pastor's "The Message of the Cross," "The Measure of Faith," "The Love Chapter," and "Spirit, Soul, and Body" series tapes each day while I was working and made every effort to live by God's will as I understood it little by little. The messages were so sweet and I was filled with joy to go to church every Sunday.
One day, I became jealous of church workers and began harboring a hope of becoming a church worker myself. On top of that, once I learned there were many Mongolians living and working in Korea, I vowed to share with them this news of blessing. As I served as a cell leader in the Foreign Parish, I became even more passionate and made up my mind to become a missionary to Mongolia.
~ Tell us about the GCN broadcast in Mongolia.
Even though we are physically apart from Korea, members of Mongolia Manmin Church are growing their faith and receiving God's blessings as they participate in Manmin Central Church's Sunday Morning and Evening Services, Friday All-night Services, and Daniel Prayer Meetings via the GCN broadcast. When they receive the Senior Pastor's prayer on GCN, they have experienced God's healing of deafness, renal cancer, spinal disc herniation, pulmonary diseases, allergies, and the like, and a variety of problems of life.
 ~ What is the vision for your mission work?
Just as Jesus' disciples boldly testified to the Gospel with signs and wonders, I have been focusing the mission work here on spreading the news of the works of God's power and the gospel of sanctification through handkerchief meetings (Acts 19:11-12) and seminar series.
Taking after the heart of the shepherd, I have been offering relief to members of Mongolia Manmin who are suffering financially. I have also been working on the translation of the Senior Pastor's books and to create College and Young Adults Missions here.
I thank God for having been with me and blessed me all along, and I also thank the Senior Pastor for his prayer. I shall do my very best to lead Mongolia Manmin Church to bear great fruit.
