The Spread of the Church in Africa
Prior to 1978, missionary work and membership in Africa was confined to a few former British colonies in the South with substantial Caucasian populations. Soon after the Revelation on Priesthood, new fields were opened there and in West Africa. Since then, dozens of countries have followed a similar pattern of 1) a branch in the capital city of expatriates and natives converted elsewhere, 2) arrival of proselytizing missionaries, 3) rapid growth in a few cities, leading to the organization of districts then stakes, then 4) widespread growth across the country and the building of temples. This process has slowed at times in some nations, often due to political instability and conflict, but others continue to grow rapidly, especially Nigeria (230,000 members in 2024) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (115,000).
