Bulgan

My name is Bulgan and I’m from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. I have a fraternal twin brother, however while growing up, I felt like the lesser twin. My parents favored my brother more because he was the only son in the family as our family still places a lot of favor on male heirs. Because of that, I felt rejected by my family and it became one of the greatest challenges for me. My brother was treasured and if anything bad happened, I often got the blame.

I started attending Young Life Club for the first time in 2018 and went to the summer camp the following year. I was introduced to Jesus there. Shortly after, I started going to church and now I have a relationship with Jesus. I also started to be a Young Life team leader at one of the schools. God changed my life a lot. At first, my family did not allow my belief in Jesus but day by day they are starting to accept me for it. I hope that my diligence in being a follower of Christ will point more kids to him as well. My leaders would describe me as someone consistent, obedient, responsible. I hope to keep improving my ministry and leadership skills as I study and grow.

Through the Developing Global Leaders program, I want to learn how to better lead a team and work with people. I am studying dentistry at Etugen University. With my degree I am eager to help people and eventually open my own clinic in order to serve people with love and be a light for Christ in the world.
