Despite a large number of men and women preaching the Mormon gospel across the globe, the Utah-based Church of Latter-day Saints (LDS) needs even more missionaries, LDS President Thomas Monson told the Religion News Service website.
A two-year mission is a universal expectation for every "worthy, able young man," Monson said October 2,2010, speaking to more than 20,000 Mormons in the LDS Conference Center, and millions more watching the church's 180th General Conference via satellite.
Young women don't have the same obligation to serve full-time, but can make "a valuable contribution as missionaries," Monson said.
As for retired couples, the LDS leader said, "we need many, many more senior couples."
