Enkhjargal (ink-jar-gul) Tserenkhuu is 50 years old, he has been married for 21 years and has two children both older teenagers.  Enkhjargal was a licensed nurse (he can no longer practice because of alcoholism)
The first time I had ever heard about Jesus Christ was in 1992 but did not accept him. Did not have a true desire to get know the truth. I would go to Church only to eat and get material benefits, clothing’s etc. I was always drunk when I went to the Church.
In my life before Christ I knew that I need to quit drinking and my life is getting worsened down because of that. Every time when I drink I could not resist myself and then became an addicted. Many time tried hard to quit, still was the same person who would drink. Never was able to quit myself even I pushed myself so hard. There were many efforts made to quit but no possible results.
Everywere around me, at home everybody were scarred, frightened and escape from me and when I would come home drunk, they would escape, run out. That time when I was drinking I would be happy, satisfied but after I got sober up I would always think whom did I heart and really throb for what I had done day before.   Not (now) to think back it is really scary.
On Dec 14th, 2004 I was sentenced to the Maint Alcohol addiction treatment place. (Enkhjargal was arrested drunk in a trash bin) While I was there I set in Abuse program class, (This was a monthly class that Brothers Dennis & Egi taught) while I sitting I thought about many things and understood my worth. Then I truly understood that there is a Lord who can cleans me from all this dirt in my life and who loves me. Since that moment I turned to Christ, believed in everything he has done for me and made a willful hard decision to refuse from my previous life.(When he was released from Maint he looked up Rich Heart Baptist Church and Pastor Dennis) On Feb 20th, 2005 I first I came to Church. Since that moment my life had a meaning, I became joyful and understood that I am worthy. And my family life got peaceful and nice. When I accepted Christ as my personal savior, it was really nice and I had a joy inside that incomparable to anything. Till today I am practicing every steps of 12th step in my life.
Since the time I had accepted Christ into my heart I made a decision to dedicate my life to Lord’s work. There were many changes made in my life. I testified Lord Jesus Christ and started to dedicate myself in sharing Gospel. My family and friends were amazed and were happy, and supported me to that. Since April 2, 2007 I got a nice opportunity to work as a MSFI NGO program worker.
My vision is to be with the Lord and savior in heaven with happiness. Throughout all the life want to witness the Lord and dedicate myself in service for Him wherever he wants me to be for his service.
Every Monday Enkhjargal goes to the MAANIT alcohol treatment center and conducts training down there. Every time he goes down there he remembers his past life and looking at the many that are addicted into alcohol and making mistakes in their lives he prays for them. Brother Enkhee (short for Enkhjargal) is really happy for the Lord whom has changed him and who is with him. By looking at the people who are in alcohol treatment he wants to at least one person about the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ. He prays that may the Lords power enter unto these people’s lives and hearts. Because even though how well man may try, he cannot change himself by his own power. His life is witnessing God’s power. The teacher of Abuse program brother Enkhjargal while he was in Alcohol treatment he set in Abuse programs and would you believe (Enkhjargal is employeed by our NGO [Non-government Organization] as a Abuse Program Instructor.  He is also the church’s song leader and directs the order of services before our pastor takes the pulpit. To watch Enkhjargal sing, and see the smile on his face, and knowing where God had taken him from can only prove that God truly can change lives.)(return to menu)

 Power to overcome suffering comes from God.
          The Rich heart Baptist Church member, Sunday school teacher Altanbat this morning flew to Sweden. Even though he is traveling by his daughter’s invitation to Sweden, we cannot predict what did God stored in front of him. He said to his fellow Church members that every moment he will be ready to be used by God and have desire to share Good news down there. The Church had prayed for him and also gave him an authority. He is teaching at Sunday school for his second year, he accepted Christ as his personal savior in year 2004. He became our church member in year 2005. It is possible to say Altanbat’s life was full of fear and danger during those previous years. When he was 19 years old he took a refuge from China against inner Mongolian Communist party with his fellow friends into Mongolia. Later words he heard from his mom that after his escape his parents, brothers and sisters were called to the Chinese police and court many times, inspected several times and were punished bit to bruise. The father was hanged and has died because of the injury in his brain.
          By profession Altanbat is journalist and translator. He is an international journalist. From his youth he stood for the freedom and stood for democracy and was against Chinese Communist party. He organized a Democratic movement by supporting democracy. He boldly published writings about true nature of Chinese Communist party and its oppression throughout the world. Due to that he was counted to be an enemy in his own hometown. In year 1996, 1997 in radio “Voice of America” he broadcasted about how China oppressing their nation, and washing their brains with false and untrue lies. His written publication has become the #1 criticism commentary against Chinese Communist party.
          He never wanted to return back to the country of China. Many Chinese people who came to Mongolia were promising to him a lot of money fame, riches by offering to cooperate together, trying to force to let him go back to Chine. But he preferred to have freedom for his true belief and did not want to let his children go over the same trials. Due to that he was always saying no and no.
          Altanbat who accepted Christ as his personal savior admits that his life was in God’s hand. His life was not calm after coming in Mongolia, became a Mongolian citizen and was appointed to Uvs province to the countryside. / It was not allowed to overcome from that appointed km square land/. At that difficult time he met his wife and got married to her. He had many years under pressure. From China and Mongolian Center of espionage he faced many oppressions and physically and mentally was suffered a lot. One example is that (They said “We will cast you back to your home country, you will die there, or unless work here at the Center of Intelligence, then Ministry of PROTECTION the Society out from danger school wanted to train and take him by government fund”) No matter how great promises were made , he wanted to live free himself than to suffer under someone’s oppression. Altanbat did not want to work for any spy works, he was protesting against them.
          His suffering compared to simple people like us is even greater more. Even so he proudly says compared to my Lord and savior Christ suffering my suffering is nothing. When you hear about Altanbat’s life history, it’s really dangerous and heartbreaking. He was faced with deaf several times, now he is a father of 7 children 3 grandchildren and wife living in Mongolia for the 44 year.
          Most amazing is that Altanbat is with his lord and savior, used by him and lives a life glorifying him. After living two years in America he came back to Mongolia in 2004 year he repented for his sins, admit Christ as his personal lord and savior and received a salvation from God. At that moment when his oldest son was lost for four days, he suffered a lot and reasoned many things. He says those understanding were all come from God only.
          Only nineteen year old guy left his home and parents to Mongolia without any notice, he understood only after becoming a father himself how bad his parents were suffering for him, when he was praying for his son unto the Lord. There is nothing to be not grateful for in his life for all what God has done in his life.
          Altanbat translated Chinese and Taiwanese author’s works from Chinese into Mongolian language. Also he translated Mongolian famous author’s writings from Mongolian into Chinese. He uses to write many drama, poetry and publications in newspapers. In his years of life he was not quit without saying any words or expressing himself, he continued to stand up for the freedom and human right.
          Recently he was excited for the invitation to go to Sweden, but in Mongolia we did not have an embassy of Sweden due to that he needed to go to Beijing, China in order to apply for visa. Last year his friend became a Mongolian citizen he knew that his friend did not arrive back because of that he did not wanted to go to Beijing. And was praying for that, after prayers without seeking, he was looking for the opportunities. And send his documentations, passport and applied for visa through mail and not long after answer came and got three months Swedish visa. Even till now he is keep continuing to pray for Inner Mongolian citizen’s democracy and freedom.
          Now Altanbat is 65 years old, he does not think about himself that he is old to teach God’s word to others. Whatever he does, he does truly from his heart which is acceptable unto God.
          After he finishes his classes, people clap hands to him. He says humbly not me, but may unto God the father be all the glory and majesty! Altanbat is God’s obedient son who shows good example unto the youth generation.
          Brothers and sister with same faith let us pray for his journey, so that he be used by God and return back home safely!
