Dear Family and Friends,
In less than a month, our family will be joining our church on a mission trip to Mongolia, and we’re excited to share this news with you!
Our connection to Mongolia began back in 2015 during Parker’s adoption process. The agency we worked with happened to also support single mothers in Mongolia. At that time, we began sponsoring a little girl named Egshiglen, who was being raised by her single mother. Through that experience, we learned more about Mongolia and its social and economic challenges. Ever since then, we had hoped to be able to serve in Mongolia, though we weren’t sure when—or if—that opportunity would come.
Nearly ten years later, the Lord has opened the door. Our church in Seoul, King’s Cross, has an ongoing partnership with a local church in Ulaanbaatar, and sends a group there each year. This fall, we’ll be part of that mission.
During our trip, our team will spend the week in Ulaanbaatar. We’ll spend the majority of our trip serving at the Manhole Children’s Home, which is an organization that provides shelter, education, and childcare for children from single-mother and underprivileged families. We are eager to support their vital work. In addition, we’ll be deepening relationships with the local Mongolian church and exploring ways we can continue to encourage and strengthen their mission.
For us, this trip feels like the fulfillment of a seed the Lord planted in our hearts a decade ago. We’re grateful to be going as a family and look forward to seeing how God will continue to work in Mongolia.
We would deeply appreciate your prayers—for the safety of our group as we travel, for the children we’ll be serving, and for the ongoing ministry of the Mongolian church. Thank you for your support!
In Him,
Jeremy, Taylor, Parker, and Juliet
