The Seventh Day Adventist Church reports 370,985 members meeting in 492 congregations and Jehovah's Witnesses have 17,954 active members in 227 congregations. The recent growth in the number of congregations in Port-au-Prince and in northern Haiti are welcome developments. I would attribute recent successes to the self-sufficient missionary force that is completely comprised of Haitians.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030323360917985701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-80894849684809487712012-04-06T18:25:11.911-06:002012-04-06T18:25:11.911-06:00From what I've heard, it is probably the amoun...From what I've heard, it is probably the amount of missionaries serving from Haiti. The whole country is self-sufficient in missionaries, and they often have to export them to America. Any area with a surplus in missionaries will become strong moving forward.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716429933814861796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-80770234349678596142012-04-06T15:28:31.420-06:002012-04-06T15:28:31.420-06:00Matt, do you think this growth has anything to do ...Matt, do you think this growth has anything to do with the LDS humanitarian aid in the wake of the 2010 earthquake?<br /><br />Also, the Brooklyn New York North District was recently discontinued and the first stake will soon be organized in the Brazilian state of Amapa. http://www.lds.org/church/news/helpings-hands-program-opens-way-for-missionary-work-new-stake-in-amapa-brazil?lang=engChristopher Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582245548922025033noreply@blogger.com
