I am currently reading Abraham Divided: An LDS Perspective on the Middle East by Daniel C. Peterson. I encourage you to read the book as he is an expert on these things and writes much better than I. I hope my paraphrasing of his work does him justice. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the [...]

The LDS Church has more than 80,000 members in Nigeria. It also has5 missions, almost 300 congregations and a temple located in Aba.

As my fascination grows with the progress of Christianity (and The LDS Church in particular) in predominantly non-Christian parts of the world I have to point out an article I saw today over at LDS Today.
