The CAMA Mongolia team met again this year at the “Nukht Hotel” just outside of Ulaanabaatar for prayer retreat on March 6-8, 2009. Jack and Diana Stimmel, along with Homer and Diana Madison from the Menomonie Alliance Church ministered to the team, and time of prayer and fellowship were shared by all. Thanks Menomonie Alliance Church for your generosity towards us! We appreciate our partnership with you.

CAMA Mongolia is happy to announce that “Grain of Wheat” Student Center is now open!

After several months of renovations, slow-downs and set-backs, we were finally open to open our doors to serve the students in our city. The grand opening was a great success, with a representative from the Ulaanbaatar Police Department and the local news media. Dennis Maves, director of CAMA Services International Mongolia, along with Chimgee (a local Mongolian language teacher, who has started a new school and business venture called ‘Sodon Chimeg’) also gave a word.

The video clips were actually recorded by the C&MA video team. We appreciate them allowing us to use their clips!

We are excited about all that is in front of us. And we appreciate most of all the support, gifts and prayers from our partners!

We would ask that all of our partners pray for Lisa Liberda and the Liberda family. Lisa has broken her leg and has had to fly to Korea for surgery. Please pray that the surgery will go well.

Also pray for Brent and the kids while they are without Mom.

We are grateful for the way God circumstanced Lisa’s trip and trust that He will continue to oversee for her and for Esther Yim, who is accompanying her.

About two months ago, this family began believing in Jesus for the first time. Now, Dr. Pham and his family visit them every week, helping them to establish a house church. Now a couple of different families are meeting every week at 11:00 AM in their ger (round felt tent). It’s exciting to see this new group of believers - pray for their growth in Christ!

We’ve had a difficult week here in Mongolia. A young couple that works with our team in Darhan lost their four month old baby girl to what was probably meningitis on Friday Morning. The young man worked with our team at the youth camp this past summer. The young mother has been working with Dr. Pieter Theron at the Leadership Training Center.

Pray for them in this difficult time. The funeral will be on Monday, October 27th. Brent Liberda will be conducting the funeral along with co-worker Dawaa. Pray the Brent and Dawaa will be given words of comfort, wisdom and grace for the family and for the young believers who will be present. Pray also for unbelievers who may be present, that they will see Jesus through grief.
