Antioch Mongolian Church

Location: Glenview, Illinois
Pastor: Reverend Nassa Tumennasan
Year started: 2012

Antioch Mongolian Church, located in Glenview, Illinois, was founded in 2005, and joined the River of Life family in June 2012.  Pastor Nasaa, the lead pastor of Antioch Mongolian Church, through the introduction of Pastor Batbold of our daughter church in Ulaanbaatar, identified with the vision of River of Life, and wished to join the family. Pastor Nasaa was ordained in July 2003, and was serving in a Korean church in Mongolia. He was invited to serve in a Korean church in the United States in the same year, and the church became an independent church in 2005. Then in 2010, they invited Pastor Batbold from River of Life's Mongolian daughter church to host their 5th Anniversary Conference, and got to know the River of Life family through that. After learning about different denominations, and participating in River of Life's pastoral prayer conference in June 2012, they decided to join and be part of the River of Life family. Antioch Mongolian Church is an influential local Mongolian church. Their church is constantly growing due to God's grace. Starting in 2024, the church will focus on providing pastoral group teaching courses for church leaders, focusing on effective gospel strategies and nurturing care for new members, so as to cultivate a warm and inclusive church. At the same time, the church wants to create an engaging, relevant and nurturing environment through age-appropriate activities, including specialized teaching, discussions, activities or outings to meet the specific developmental stages and interests of each age group. In 2025, we will focus on leadership training, hoping to bring out more brothers and sisters in service.

安提阿蒙古靈糧堂是2012年六月才加入生命河的一間新分堂,位於伊利諾州的Glenview鎮,在加入生命河以前,已成立了7年,該堂的Nasaa牧師經蒙古分堂的Batbold牧師引介,非常認同生命河的異象,希望加入這個大家庭。Nasaa 牧師於2003年7月按立為牧師,服事於蒙古一所韓國教會,2003年受邀來美在一間韓國教會服事,直到2005年成為獨立教會。2010年他們邀請生命河蒙古分堂的Batbold 牧師主持該堂5 週年特會,因而認識了生命河靈糧堂。Nasaa 牧師在暸解過各宗派後,2012年六月參加本堂的牧者聯禱會時決定要加入生命河的大家庭。安提阿蒙古靈糧堂是當地一個頗具影響力的蒙古教會,他們的教會因著神的恩典而不斷成長,目前他們專注於 2022 年的使命 “重新夢想和信心起行” ,他們希望神重新興起教會,讓他們在各個層面上都經歷聖靈的大能和同在。願神使用Nasaa牧師及該堂,成為向美國中部各地的蒙古人傳福音的管道。2024開始,教會著重於為教會領袖提供教牧小組教學課程,重點關注有效的福音策略和對新成員的培育照顧,培養一個熱情和包容的教會。同時,教會想要透過進行適合年齡的活動,創造一個有吸引力、相關且有益的環境,希望可以滿足每個會眾,讓他們更參與教會活動。2025年著重領袖培育,希望能帶出更多服事的弟兄姊妹。


partner in prayer:

PPray especially for the process of nurturing young leaders. May You prepare suitable mentors and spiritual role models to accompany them and help them be shaped in character, faith, love, and attitude of service, so that they can become vessels after Your will.

特別為培育年輕領袖的過程禱告,求祢預備合適的導師和屬靈榜樣來陪伴他們,幫助他們在品格、信心、愛心和服事的態度上被塑造,成為合祢心意的器皿。

Pray for the growth of the number of members of the church. May the Holy Spirit fill every brother and sister so that everyone can spread God's name with love and enthusiasm, and the church can grow in both number and spiritual life.

為教會人數增長的禱告,願聖靈充滿每一位弟兄姊妹,使大家帶著愛與熱情去傳揚神的名,讓教會在數量與靈命上都得以增長。

Thank God for His abundant grace that provides all our needs. Entrust the church’s financial situation to God’s hands. Ask God to move the hearts of brothers and sisters to make them willing to give and to allow the church to have sufficient financial supplies to support ministry, missions, charity and all necessary expenses.

感謝神豐富的恩典,供應一切所需。將教會的財務狀況交托在神手中,求神感動弟兄姊妹的心,使他們樂意奉獻,並且讓教會在財務上有足夠的供應來支持事工、宣教、慈善和所有必要的開支。
