“Mission Boundaries Realigned; Mission Presidents Begin Service,” Ensign, July 2011, 76
Mission Boundaries Realigned; Mission Presidents Begin Service
To better align resources and to meet changing needs, the Church created five new missions and combined others with neighboring missions in 2011. The number of missions worldwide is now 340. To see maps of the realigned missions, please visit http://lds.org/church/news/2011-mission-boundary-changes-.
In addition to these changes, 127 mission presidents have been called. The majority will begin their three-year calling this month.
