Protestantism in Mongolia
- Protestantism in Mongolia
Protestant Christian churches in Mongolia are Lutheran, Presbyterians, Seventh-day Adventists and various evangelical Protestant groups. [http://www.mea.mn/ Mongolian Evangelical Alliance] estimates there are 35,000 Protestant Christians in Mongolia.
Protestant Christian teaching did not reach Mongolia until the mid 1800s, brought by missionaries such as James Gilmour. The rise of a Communist government in Mongolia caused the number of Protestant followers to rapidly decrease.
The country has a local Christian TV station, Eagle Television [ [http://www.eagle-tv.mn/english/index.htm EBC - Eagle Broadcasting Company] ] , and a pro-Christian radio station, Family Radio.
Seventh-day Adventist Church [ [http://www.mongoladventist.org/mmf/index.php Mongolian Mission Field of SDA] ] has around 1,200 members [ [http://news.adventist.org/data/2008/1204303264/index.html.en Number of Adventist pastors in Mongolia up 50 percent] ] and a language school in Ulaanbaatar.
