MONGOLIA: Mongolian Standard Version Translation
In 1989 there were four followers of Jesus in Mongolia. Today, that number has exploded to almost 70,000 – an astronomical growth of 140% a year!
Yet as of today, there are no Bible translations from the original Hebrew and Greek into Mongolian. The only version available is a literal translation from English, using English phrases not relevant to Mongolian culture.
Imagine falling in love with Jesus and then realizing there is no way for you to understand his Word in your culture. This is the reality for many who come to faith in Mongolia. The Mongolian Church is hungry for God’s Word, there is a growing cry from Mongolian believers for access to an authentic translation in their language.
