Like an Eagle: Ten Years in Mongolia

Book Profile

Like an Eagle is a personal and cross-cultural memoir rooted in the dramatic years following the fall of communism. It captures the challenges and joys of building media ministry in a changing society and reflects on the way service reshapes the servant.

The book offers a meaningful look at mission, perseverance, and God's work across cultures.

"Like An Eagle" is a biographical account of my ten years in Mongolia with Eagle Television. Eagle TV was Mongolia’s first independent TV station after the fall of communism and the only local Christian TV station on the Asian continent, from the border of Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan. Eagle TV began as a unique partnership between a group of Mongolian democrats and a group of South Dakota Christian businessmen. My story picks up in 2002 when I was installed as Managing Director of the company. "Like An Eagle" tells the dramatic story of how Mongolian powerbrokers and religious parties attempted to damage and shut down the TV station, and the trials we endured while we openly shared Christ through a unique ministry founded to share the Gospel of Jesus and advocate for freedom of speech, press, and conscience. In "Like an Eagle," you'll learn how Eagle TV changed Mongolia and how it changed my life.
