President Dallin Oaks has announced that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is on track to achieve a new record for the number of missionaries, following a notable surge in conversions. This development comes alongside insights and teachings shared at the recent Seminar for New Mission Leaders, where leaders were encouraged to foster collaboration and inspired missionary work. Other prominent church leaders, including Elder Renlund and President Freeman, emphasized the importance of cultivating a culture centered on Jesus Christ and the role of divine guidance in effective missionary service. With a promise of miracles and direction on becoming lifelong disciples, the mission leadership councils have been described as sacred opportunities for growth and inspiration.
