We are from the UK but moving to Turks and Caicos at the end of the month so I was interested to see we now have the church over there - would you have any more info on it at this present time?Cupcake Crazy Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609126344568341428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-60929918176052392962009-03-22T19:21:00.000-06:002009-03-22T19:21:00.000-06:00Thanks for your info and interest Reed. I see you...Thanks for your info and interest Reed. I see you have spent sometime compiling your list of countries with and without a Church presence and whether missionaries are serving in each of them. I too compiled a list at the end of last year I presented to a group of CES employees. I have not posted updated information concerning this topic because I have found out recently that the Church has a presence in many countries in wishes not to make public. It is surprising to see this come to pass with only few knowing of it. Some of these nations have hundreds to thousands of members in them.<BR/><BR/>Let me know what topics you would like to discuss or have information concerning which would be helpful to the site. I am glad to find more people who are so interested in this fascinating topic.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030323360917985701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-51716451467765586992009-03-20T19:46:00.000-06:002009-03-20T19:46:00.000-06:00Nations with LDS Missionaries (as of December , 20...Nations with LDS Missionaries<BR/> (as of December , 2007)<BR/><BR/> In the chart which follows, I have divided the nations of the world into three categories: (1) Those without any LDS missionaries or Church branches; (2) Those with no missionaries, but with branches which are available mainly to servicemen or non-citizens (expatriates); and (3) Those with missionaries and with organized wards or branches available to citizens within the country. The most recent additions appear in italics. Likely, small groups of expatriates meet in private homes in some of the countries in the first column.

While formal missionary work has not begun yet in Morocco, in 1989 four missionaries from the Spain Seville Mission were working in two Spanish enclaves within Morocco: Ceuta and Melilla. Those two cities along the Mediterranean coast of Morocco are under the jurisdiction of Spain, even though within the nation of Morocco. The Seville Spain Mission began sending elders to these Spanish islands off the coast of Morocco, which are inhabited largely by Muslims. Because freedom to preach exists there, unlike other Islamic areas, the Church has been free to experiment with various methods of reaching Muslims. (Bruce A. Van Orden, Building Zion: the Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1996, pp. 252-53.)<BR/><BR/> A.
