‘Go ye therefore…to Mongolia’

“The Bible says if you raise a child up, they’ll come back when they’re older. I was 47 when I came back,” Mitch Tillman, missionary to Mongolia, said.
Taken from a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama where he was facing cocaine charges and planted in the primarily Tibeten Buddhist country of Mongolia to join his father in missionary work, Tillman said he walked away from a drug addicted life and wanted to get away from temptation. As a result, he went to Mongolia. Now, he works in missionary work and fundraising for Harbor Evangelism International, Inc., where he has been a part of assisting his father in building a free hospital to nomads, planting churches, building orphanages, hosting feeding centers, creating children’s churches and leper colonies.
“Dad (Tommy Tillman) went in the 1990’s, right after Russia fell. Mongolia had been closed to the Western World up until then and when it opened, he was one of the first ones in there,” Tillman said. “One of the first things he done was went out and planted a hospital.”
The hospital Tillman’s father planted is a free hospital to nomads that is funded exclusively through donations from individuals.
