The Truth Behind Mormon Missionaries
Overview of LDS Missionaries
Brought to you by: SecretsofMormons.com
Since its earliest days, the mormon church (a.k.a. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) has sent out missionaries to all parts of the world. Missionary work is talked about in Mormon congregations and mormon's are encouraged to share the gospel with their friends and neighbors. However, when one thinks of mormon missionaries they usually think of 19-24 year old men and women serving full-time missions.
Full-time mormon missionaries
The mormon missionary program is perhaps the most active missionary program of any world church. As of December 31, 2004, there were more than 51,000 full-time missionaries serving around the world at any given time. Missionary work is a fundamental principle of the Church, and has become one of the most readily identifiable characteristics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All missionaries have been assigned by headquarters to their area of work, which can be in any part of the world. They contribute to their own support for up to two years, frequently learning another language. Discover the truth about missionaries here

Missionaries are a common sight in many areas, often seen in white shirts and ties, riding bicycles through neighborhoods or doing service in communities small and large. These young men, typically 19 to 24 years old, are not the only missionaries that are fielded by the Church. There are missionaries who are old, young, male, female, proselyting, and service oriented. Learn the truth behind what they represent

Missionary training centers are like small universities or communities where missionaries learn teaching skills they will need while serving. If the missionary already knows the language of where they are going, then they will normally stay in the MTC for about three weeks. If they need to learn a foreign language, then the training time extends to eight weeks, with extensive language training being added to their studies.
