MONGOLIA Extreme CountryMongolia is strategically located in the 10/40 window between China on three borders and Russia in the north; with Kazakhstan being just beyond the western border with China. The terrain ranges from the Gobi Desert, in the southern part of the country, to steppes, covering most of the nation, and the mountains in the north and west. With short, hot summers and long, bitterly cold winters, Mongolia is a land of extremes.

Extreme CultureMongolia has a population around 3.1 million people. Most of the population, over 94%, is made up of Khalkha Mongols. The Turkic people groups make up about 5% of the population. Others, including Russian and Chinese, make up the remaining 1% of Mongolia’s population. Almost half of the nation’s people live in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar.   

Extreme CommitmentShamanism is at the heart of Mongolian religion. Shamanism is the worship of spirits, ancestors, and nature. Although less than 3% of the populace completely adopt it, it has the most influence in Mongolia.

The most prominent religion is Buddhism at 53%. The next largest is those that claim no religion at 38%. Following this in popularity is Islam at 3% . There is a great need for churches, Bibles and missionaries.

Tammy’s TestimonyI was born in Miami, Florida on November 20, 1973 to Robert and Belinda Bryans.

When I was six we moved to New Castle, Pennsylvania. I attended a children’s church and the teacher was teaching on hell. I was scared and didn’t want to go to hell. He said the only way to go to Heaven was to accept Jesus. I went forward and asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me.

When I was in 6th grade my family moved to Keystone Heights, Florida. Pastor Mark Stevens and another man visited our home and invited my family to Freedom Baptist Church. I started to ride the bus for Sunday school and attended regularly. It was there my love for the Lord grew.

One Sunday as Pastor Mark was preaching, the Lord dealt with me about fulltime service, I surrendered to whatever the Lord wanted me to be. I rode on the church bus until I was twenty one. I transitioned from rider to worker. After graduation from high school in 1992, my Pastor told me I needed to go to Bible college. In August of 1993 I went to college and met my best friend who later became my husband.

Chuck and I were married and we started ministering at Grace Baptist Church. We have served with teens, Children’s Ministries, Sunday School, Choir and many other areas of ministry. I also worked in our Christian School as the Kindergarten and First Grade teacher.

Chucks TestimonyI was born in Albany, Georgia on November 15, 1972 to Charles D. Weber, Sr. and Sheila Ann Weber. My father was a pastor and my mother was a nurse. I grew up in a Christian home with Godly parents who taught me the Bible.

At the age of seven I realized that if I were to die I would go to hell. Being fearful of hell and concerned with my relationship with Jesus I asked my mother about being saved. She explained the gospel to me and I accepted Christ as my Savior.

As I grew all I knew was being a Christian. I attended Christian schools, went to church and church activities. In my senior year of high school God moved my family to Warner Robins, Georgia. During this transition God began working in my heart about a closer walk with him. God used a sermon by Dr. James Rushing to call me into ministry.

Having answered the call of God on my life, I attended Bible college in 1992. There I met Tammy and we were married on June 8, 1996. Pastor Dewayne Jowers asked us to come work at Grace Baptist Church in Baldwin, FL. I graduated from college in May of 1998.

I have worked at Grace Baptist Church in all aspects of ministry. I have lead singing, preached, served as Sunday School Director, Youth Pastor, Sunday School Teacher, and Principal of our Christian school for 17 years.

Our CallWe have served at Grace Baptist Church in Baldwin, Florida for 17 years. Four years prior to our call a missionary presented his ministry in Mongolia. We thought if the Lord ever called us to a mission field we would love to go to Mongolia.

In February of 2013, during our church mission conference, the Lord dealt with us individually about going into missions. We didn’t talk about it until Saturday. When Chuck asked Tammy if the Lord was dealing with her about anything. Tammy asked Chuck why with a smile because she knew.

The following Sunday morning service Dr. Charles Keen preached “It’s Your Turn Up to Bat.” God sealed it for us, we were going to be missionaries. We surrendered to the Lord that morning. We told our pastor that night and we announced our decision to our church the next Sunday.
