The evangelical Mongolian church has experienced significant growth since the country opened to the world in 1990. Despite the growth and emergence of the evangelical church in Mongolia, relatively little has been written on the church from the perspective of the leaders themselves. This ethnographic study seeks to express the experience of male, evangelical, Mongolian church leaders in their own words. The book focuses specifically on the leaders' experiences of conversion, discipleship, navigation of Mongolian culture and traditions, and theological education. Readers will hear from evangelical church leaders why they became Christians and what their experience with discipleship was like for them. The issue of contextualization for evangelical Christians is also a central focus. In particular, the translation of the term for God in Mongolian and the perspective of the church leaders are explored. This book will be of interest to those exploring Christianity in Asia and post-socialist contexts as well as seeking to better understand contemporary Mongolian culture.

Reviews for Shepherds of the Steppes

"""This study is a helpful resource for all involved in intercultural discipleship and leadership development ministries, especially where these involve male Christian leaders. It demonstrates the crucial importance of listening to the stories of how men experience conversion, discipleship, leadership development, and the relationship between their culture and the Christian faith. Such listening will provide important insights that would facilitate the contextualization of discipleship, theological education, and leadership development."" --Pieter F. Theron, pastor, South Umpqua Community Church ""How does Jesus build his church in a culture previously untouched by the gospel and profoundly shaped by nomadism, socialism, Buddhism, and Shamanism? He has raised up Shepherds of the Steppes, and Mark Wood helps us to begin to share their experiences of conversion, discipleship, cultural negotiation, and theological education. Fascinating, insightful, thought-provoking, and challenging--there is so much to learn from what the Lord of the church is doing in Mongolia!"" --Graham Aylett, general secretary, Increase Association"
