Churches are limited by zoning laws to a small enclave on the outskirts of the city. I'm not aware of any synagogues in operation.<br /><br />Although very few in numbers, the Middle East/North Africa Area of the Church has been growing at the highest percentage of all Church areas.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629100796960009292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-84161148194943582752014-11-23T14:51:40.233-07:002014-11-23T14:51:40.233-07:00I recently had commented that there were at least ...I recently had commented that there were at least two LDS groups in Kuwait; one is located in Camp Arif Jan. I wanted to attend the meetings the week I was there but instead attended Protestant services, a Wednesday night evangelical type Bible study, and Friday night Jewish service. The camp is not far from Kuwait City where I presume the ward is located. Ali Assaleem is further up north and may be attached to the ward also. I guess there is only one ward for the whole nation, about the size of New Jersey. Great news about the stake. Next...Iran. Better chances than Yemen. Anything in Oman yet?Eduardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019747288076783700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-70411923180729938772014-11-22T19:34:38.341-07:002014-11-22T19:34:38.341-07:00Updated ward and branch creations for November.
