The name 'Mongolia' has always stirred up visions of the untamed and exotic. And in 1990, an ELIC teaching team brought a new language and an everlasting hope to this amazing country for the very first time. Even today, Mongolia seems like the end-of-the-earth where you begin to wonder if you've stepped into another century rather than another country. Its' capital, Ulaanbaatar, has the look and feel of a 1950's European city while the countryside is spotted with traditional tent-like homes called gers. Many Mongolian people groups have never been touched by the hope and joy you and your English language have to offer, but they have hearts that are warm, open, and seeking.
