  • A Mongolian's Discipleship Journey

    When Tuvsho was born, her country was just coming out of 70 years of Communism.  A child's Bible, two audio cassette tapes of the Jesus film in a language she didn't know, and a red-headed missionary all played their parts in her journey to Christ.  Now she is the Director of Heart of Mentoring.  (H.o.M.E.).  This episode leads you along that journey through her words, and the words of the missionary that finally led her the final steps to the Lord.
