Mission Presidents

The safety of our missionaries and those they serve is our top priority.

Six new mission presidents arrived in the Africa West Area this month

'But now, it’s Africa’s turn, and we will see thousands upon thousands baptized in Africa with exponential growth. The number of missionaries will easily double in three years. We’re so excited that we can be a part of this thrillng time in this locality of the restoration of the gospel.”

On January 7, 2016, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the formation of three new missions: the Democratic Republic of the Congo Mbuji-Mayi Mission, the Nigeria Owerri Mission and the Vietnam Hanoi Mission.

Newly called mission presidents and their wives will begin their service in the Africa West Area July 1, 2015.

With the creation of a new mission in Cote d’Ivoire, the Africa West Area now has fourteen missions.  Six of these missions have new mission presidents who are beginning their service this month.
