SALT LAKE CITY — Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will continue to be sent all over the world as leaders have announced plans to open 36 new missions, including three in Utah, in 2024.
The announcement for three dozen new missions comes as more than 72,000 missionaries serve for the church across the world. In addition to the new missions, church leadership announced missionaries can submit their paperwork up to 150 days before their availability date instead of the current 120 days.
"This change gives prospective missionaries more time to prepare for their missions, shortens the period between a prospective missionary’s availability date and mission start date and reduces visa delays for missionaries assigned to serve outside their home countries," the church explained.The new missions include three areas in Utah; Utah Salt Lake City East, Utah Saratoga Springs and Utah Spanish Fork.
In addition, missions will be opened in other areas around the world including in Africa, South America, the Philippines and more.Africa WestNorth America SoutheastSouth America South
