I was reading about Keraites recently:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keraites

Some of the invading Mongols were Christians, with a particular reverence for the biblical Magi (the three wise men), and Genghis Kahn, and his son, and his grandson Kublai Khan, all married into this group.

Thats not so weird before Christianity became big in Europe it was big in west and east Asia. At least from what i can remember from Peter Frankopan's book The Silkroads mentioned this. Also Dan carlins mongol series also talked about a big Christian king/savior in the far east.
