The members of the Mongolian fellowship sang hymns at an Easter Sunday service held by the Dongsheng Church of Ordos City, Inner Mongolia on April 16, 2017.
The Mongols are the main ethnic group in the district and kept a traditional Mongolian lifestyle. Many Mongolian herdsmen still communicate with each other in their own language.
With the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of churches, there have been new converts among the group and there has been a constant rise in the number of Mongolian believers in recent years.
Because of this rise in believers, Dongsheng Church founded the fellowship for the minority to nurture these believers. All the sermons are delivered by Mongolian preachers in the Mongolian language. Using the Mongolian version of the Bible, the members also pray and sing hymns in their native language. The fellowship holds weekly gathering on Thursdays.
As a distinctive fellowship in the church, it is the work of the Holy Spirit that enables the church to be a model for other local churches in the province. It has won praise from the city's government and support from Christians of all ethnic groups.
