Our sacrament meeting speaker today was President Swartz of
the Frankfurt Mission. He challenged us
to pray for missionary opportunities and gave examples of people who come into
the church as a result of small things – a pass along card, a brief word to the
person waiting for the light to change.
The Frankfurt Mission has 178 missionaries and he is expecting that
number to climb to 270+ by year-end. He
said we have now 58,000 missionaries serving world-wide, which is expected to
grow to 100,000 this year. He, and the
high councilor who also spoke, told of when President Kimball was in Germany in
1976 and prophesied that one day the German speaking countries would have “hundreds of stakes” within their
borders. We may be on the threshold of that day as the Lord hastens his work.
so great to have such a surge in the number of missionaries! president monson's inspiration to change the missionary age must have truly been ... well, inpired!
