Mongolia Bible Training Trip Report

By Ps Paul & Team

11–18 August 2026 · Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

From 11 to 18 August, three of us from Zion Bishan — Ps Paul, Eld Ching Hong, Eld Beng Hwee, and two others from another BP church— travelled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to conduct a three-day, two-night Bible training for a group of church and ministry leaders. We thank God for safe travel and His provision throughout.

The training ran from 13 to 15 August at a retreat site an hour’s drive from the city, set amid the open plains of Mongolia. We were grateful for good facilities and a quiet setting that let us focus wholly on His Word and on one another.

Twenty-three Christians and leaders attended, some travelling many hours at real personal cost—a testimony to how deeply they longed to be built up in the faith. Over three days, we watched hearts respond as the Word was opened, deepening their faith and strengthening their grip on Scripture.

This meant more than teaching alone. Some attendees can normally only worship online due to restrictions in their context, so this training gave them a rare chance to meet fellow believers face to face. Leaders serving in relative isolation met one another, shared burdens, and prayed for each other’s needs, and new friendships were formed.

We were also deeply moved to visit two local Mongolian church services and fellowship with believers from remarkably varied backgrounds worshipping together across multiple languages. For us, this was a vivid, personal picture of the universal church—something quite new to many of us from Singapore—and a reminder that the body of Christ is far bigger and more diverse than our own congregations.

The Fruit of This Trip: Three R’s

• Return to the Bible: Attendees left with faith deepened and Scripture strengthened, a reminder that it is God’s Word, not our programmes, that builds the church.

• Restoration: For leaders serving in difficult environments, the training was an opportunity to reconnect with God through His Word and fellowship with us.

• Reconciliation: Most precious of all, some attendees were reconciled during this time together, a tangible sign that the gospel we taught also transforms relationships.

We are deeply grateful to God for His provision throughout this trip, and for all we experienced together. God willing, we plan to return and run this training again over the next two years—do come speak with us if you’d like to know more, or even join us on a future trip. Please continue to pray for the leaders and churches we met, that what was sown would take root and bear lasting fruit!
