First Meeting for Single Women in Mongolia

From June 24-25, 2023, the Women’s Ministries Department of the Mongolian Mission organized a meeting for single women in Ulaanbaatar/Mongolia. The attendance varied between 40 and 60 women from Ulaanbaatar and the surrounding areas.
The theme “Live Fully, Flourish!” was especially appropriate for single women who often feel challenged in a society that is centered on the high value of having a family. Although the women in Mongolia are very independent and self-sufficient, they need to recognize their value in God’s eyes. The topics presented addressed being enough, how to date (for the younger women), inner beauty, when dreams shatter, being loved, blessed, and a blessing for others. As divorce due to domestic violence abounds, there are quite a few single parents who need encouragement.
The speakers at the meetings were Raquel Arrais NSD WM director, Dagmar Dorn EUD, Pastor Oyuntuya Batsukh WM and Family Ministries leader in Mongolia, one of the eight women pastors of the mission, and Pastor Bold Batsukh of the Ministerial Association.
How wonderful to share and learn from each other.
It was the first event of its kind to be organized in Mongolia and the women expressed their joy and appreciation in the positive feedback they gave.
The Seventh-Day Adventist presence in Mongolia began 30 years ago and there are 3100 church members in a nation of 3 million.
