President Dallin H. Oaks announced that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will soon have the largest number of full-time missionaries in its history, with more than 87,000 missionaries currently serving worldwide and even more expected in the coming weeks. The increase is being driven by the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries and the creation of 55 new missions in July, bringing the global total to 506 missions. Speaking to new mission leaders, President Oaks said missionary work is reaching historic growth and emphasized that missionaries are called to testify of Jesus Christ and invite people to come unto Him.
