Mission leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Kinshasa Mission report that a member group now assembles in Kisangani and that 32 converts were recently baptized into the group. The operation of the Kisangani Group constitutes the first time that the Church has operated in the northern half of the DR Congo and has occurred shortly after the Church organized its first member group in Bukavu located near the Burundi/Rwanda border.

Mike, I have not heard of the Sunshine Coast Australia stake before. Is this a new unit, or has an older stake been renamed? Reed

The Sunshine Coast Australia Stake was created in 1996 and is north of Brisbane in Queensland. It currently has the following units:
Buderim Ward
Bundaberg Ward
Forest Glen Ward
Gympie Ward
Hervey Bay Ward
Kawana Waters Ward
Nambour Ward
Kingaroy Branch
The Sunshine coast Australia stake is a rename. it was formally the Nambour Australia stake. 2 years ago they added branches from the Bundaberg district; bundaberg branch and Hervey Bay Branch, made them wards and renamed it the Sunshine Coast Australia Stake.
The new group in the DR Congo Kinshasa mission is probably in part a result of more resources being at the disposal of the mission without it having to cover an additional 5 countries.
