I would like to draw your attention to the mission blog of one of my friends. Scott Dean serves with our board in Mongolia in a truly pioneering work. He and his wife are on their second term in Mongolia. In their first term, they learned the language and have one couple to show for their evangelistic efforts, truly a trophy of grace. They have been back on the field for about 6 months now and are gathering a group of believers together. Scott usually blogs about twice a week. It is a real blessing to me to hear reports about his work there.
We met Scott before he headed out on his first term when he arrived on Vancouver Island to take a course on medical care that was a little more advanced than first aid since medical care in Mongolia is somewhat chancy. He spent two weeks on the course and two weekends in our church, ready to serve in any way we asked. On that trip, he was traveling light, so we had him do an ‘audio slide presentation’. This past summer, he and his wife and two of their children were able to be with us and we saw the whole show. We were very encouraged by his ministry.
Anyway, I thought I would give you a link to his blog so that you might keep up with him if you are interested. Slowly but surely souls are being won to Jesus Christ in the Dean’s ministry.

I know Scott; he graduated from our college. It’s nice to see some way to keep up with him.
Hi Jeff
Thanks for stopping by. Scott is a great guy and his ministry is a real blessing to us. BTW, I have another connection with your college, Greg Gaus who served in the ministry there for some time was my roommate one year at BJU.

It is great to hear of the work in Mongolia! Jeffery Scott Dean was in my graduating class at Fairhaven Baptist College in 1995. This AM as I was praying for Mongolia and it’s people the missionary families of the Deans & Mullers came to mind. I’m grateful to run across your article and hope to follow their ministry more closely! -Bro. David Wayne Handley
Hi Dave, I’m sorry to be late approving your comment. It got caught in my spam filter for some reason? My own blog!
Anyway, glad to hear from you. You may have figured it out by reading Scott’s blog that he is now living in Oregon. He still goes to Mongolia occasionally to encourage the church he started and minister to others there. I see him occasionally at FBFI meetings. He’s a faithful guy.
Maranatha!
