Recently, Mongolia is undergoing turbulent times with the crisis of democracy and corruption. This year, an international call has been made. Teams from all over the world will travel this summer (from June to September) to Mongolia. This as part of the YWAM Bible Engagement and Eradicating Bible Poverty vision for 2019.
A couple of weeks ago my mentors extended the invitation to be part of a team that will be going to Korea and Mongolia in June this year. I was very hesitated to make my decision, especially for that of my “little faith.” However, here I am once again letting that mustard seed produce its fruit. Our team is an international one. We have campus students from Chile, Colombia (me), and other locations. We all going to fly from our home countries to meet in Seoul for orientation. Thereafter we will travel to Mongolia for 30 days. We will be going to rural Mongolia to engage with Bible distribution and other different activities that are yet to be specified. After our time there we will fly back to Korea to engage in various activities depending on the disponibility of time of the members of the team.
As for me, I am in need of raising $3,000 USD in order to join the team. This includes around $1,800 USD for flight tickets (Round trip Colombia — South Korea — Mongolia), $900 USD for room & board and local transportation, the $300 USD left are a special offering that I felt in my heart to raise, as part of this trip, to buy more bibles. I have already started the process to obtain a pre-arranged visa for Mongolia. My goal is to raise the first $1,800 USD during the month of April to buy the flight tickets and from there, raise the $1,200 left before the beginning of June.
