A nomadic culture renown for its violent history, in a land of temperature extremes and barren planes. Amongst the legends of Khan's and cruelty, few would guess that Mongolia was once ruled by a series of Christian monarchs.
With a history of Christian rule, why at the close of the 20th century were there but a handful of Christian believers scattered across Mongolia?
The nomadic tradition made outreach nearly impossible and missionary work seemed to bear little fruit. But today we see thousands of Mongolian believers meeting regularly and reaching out to their own people. How has such a dramatic revival happened?
Mongolia`s history may conjure up images of fierce warfare across expanses of tundra. But it was no godforsaken land.
Kemp's account of evangelists on the steppes, working in arduous conditions, and some with a deep sense of loneliness, shows us inspiring exmapls of perseverance and sacrifice. The story of the Mongolian church forces us to re-evaluate our own commitment to Christ as we learn of the missionaries courage in taking the gospel to hidden peoples.
Kemp takes us with him as he travels through modern day Mongolia sharing the gospel. Through his vivid description, we can feel the -40 celsius chills of the Mongolian winter, we can see the hostile steppes and understand the power of the God in Kemp's life and the lives of those he meets.
Steppe by Step will take you from the beginnings of Christianity in Mongolia and bring you right up to date with a church growing beyond anyone's expectation.
`Hugh Kemp shines a bright and welcome light on Mongolia past and present. Who would have thought that Kublai Khan`s mother was a Christian or that Mongolia had several Christian queens? Around the world Christians are seeing that God is doing a new work in Mongolia, where a burgeoning Church is making Jesus known to a new generation.` Peter Lewis, Cornerstone Evangelical Church Back
