The Mongolian Seventh-Day Adventist Church has recently celebrated increases in its church members and in parish priests since the church was reestablished in 1993. 

In late February the church ordained two new ministers, both having been born in South Korea. Park NoYoung and Park SangBum were ordained at the Adventist’s Ulaanbaatar Central Church. 

Officiating at the ceremony were Paul Kotanko, director of the church in Mongolia, and Nyamdavaa Dovchinsuren, one of two ordained Mongolian Adventist pastors. There are now six Adventist priests serving in Mongolia. 

Though there was not a single Adventist in Mongolia prior to 1993, today there are 1,200 church members. In 1997 the first Adventist church was opened in Mongolia with 26 members. 

Church officials note that there were Adventists from Russia working in Mongolia during the 1920’s and 1930’s. However, the Adventist work ended with the advent of the Japanese invasions of mainland China. 

Only with the end of communist rule were Adventists able to renew their work in Mongolia.

Actually Christianity and its base of Hebrew Torah have been around for some time. It is not a "new" thing but rather a re-emerging of what goes back even before Chingis' time. The only issue is that many Christian groups fail to even recognise fully their Hebraic roots which surpass even those religions of the East thus causing confusion of this "Christianity" as a new thing. It is actually an expounding and carrying forward that of the Torah text. Ironic the comment to the Adventist who are actually some of the more adherent and open in understanding to this matter.

I like this portal, it is informative and interesting for most of the times but this recent uprising in(pro)christian news operating in Mongolia has made me stop reading it because now there is no doubt whatsoever who is "spiritual" director of mongolia-web!! It is international buissness and christian cults from Korea and the West... Just too bad. No more comments from me. Good bye...
