Local Congregation Sends Twenty Youth on Two-Year Missions Around the World
Twenty Milton and Cumming youth serving two-year full-time missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world.
While mission trips are common in many local church congregations, the Milton Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an unusually high number of young men and women who have committed to serving full-time missions for two years. Twenty youth, ages eighteen to twenty-two, have put aside their schooling, social lives and daily contact with their families to serve in twelve different countries. While on assignment in their various locations, they do not date, watch TV, take vacations or spend hours on social media. They spend their time proselyting and giving service.
While the Mormon church is widely known for their missionary service, the Milton Ward is unusual because of the large number of youth serving at one time. Many wards in Utah, where Mormonism is largely practiced, do not have as many missionaries as this local congregation has to date. To learn more see http://www.mormon.org/values/missionary-work
