The Pilets: Missionaries to Mongolia

Last night my family went to church and heard a field report from a missionary that our church supports (no this is not a poem). Christian Pilet, with his wife Nicole, and five children (a sixth on the way) are in Mongolia. Christians, even in the broadest sense, are (to say the very least) rare. That means those who teach and preach that the Bible alone is God's Word are even more rare. In fact, as far as we can tell, he and his family (and a helper) are the only Baptist missionaries there. Thank God the work is being done to train nationals to train nationals in the gospel of grace alone apart from works. This is vital in Mongolia. There are plenty of groups and organizations who are present to teach agriculture and give "social" assistance, but the most important work is that others will come to know the One true God, even Christ Jesus who came to earth and died so we can live go to heaven.

Use the comment promt to share if God is chalenging you to evangelize right where you live or even in a remote area of the world. Tell me how you're serving so others may be encouraged too.

  • Love it! My parents surrendered to the field of Brazil in the '60's because of a family that came by one Sunday night and presented their calling.

  • I'm always encouraged and challenged by those who do mission work in a foreign country.

  • Mongolia sounds like a real challenge, but then again we have an awesome God. May He glorigy Himself through your missionary friends, and through our own evangelism here at home!

  • Dave~ thanks for your encouragment! Are you related to, or familiar with the late Dr. Paul R. Jackson? A study I am currently working on has lead me to one of his books.

    Doxoblogist~ A-men! and Aaa-men! I am too. This brother was a real delight to hear. He admitted to enjoying diagraming. Any other kindred spirits out there?

    Loren~ Yes indeed, our God is awesome and I concur - may we all glorify Him right where we are planted!
