Update April 5, 2014: At the April 2014 General Conference, the Church announced that there were 83,035 full-time missionaries serving as of December 31, 2013.
The initial vision of the Generalate was to send, over a period of some years, a maximum of 17 missionaries to Botswana. But the Holy Spirit had another vision! By 1984 we had spread out to Kenya, Zambia (1986) and Zimbabwe (1987), and later in 2001 to South Africa. Eventually the three neighboring countries would form one Province in 1993 (Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe), with today more than 60 confreres.
