There is gold to be found in reading about forgotten  preachers of old.

Two of my favourite  are Christmas  Evens and Billy Bray.

From what I've read in the past, wish I could recall the writings, centuries later, Genghis Khan wiped out Christianity as he and his horde moved west.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_among_the_Mongols

In the time of Genghis Khan, his sons took Christian wives of the Keraites, and under the rule of Genghis Khan's grandson, Möngke Khan, the primary religious influence was Christian.

As the Mongols further expanded, the Christian sympathies of the court, primarily through the influential wives of the khans, led to changes in military strategy. During the Mongols' siege of Baghdad (1258), many of the citizens of the city were massacred, but Christians were spared.
