I am a lifelong active LDS member with a deep interest in missionary work and church growth issues. My interest in missionary work started prior to my mission in Russia in the early 1990s and has continued to the present day. For over 13 years, I have conducted detailed research into LDS church growth and missionary efforts. I have interviewed dozens of LDS mission presidents and hundreds of missionaries, members, and investigators in over twenty countries. Among other callings, I have served as a ward and stake missionary and ward mission leader. I am 32 years old and am married with three (soon to be four) children. By profession, I am a physician.
Marc Schindler of Spruce Grove, Alberta created the international LDS maps and atlas. Marc passed away unexpectedly in October 2003 at the age of 45. Marc was well-known in the online LDS community for his tireless work as a proponent and defender of the faith. His inexhaustable energy, vast knowledge, and kindly disposition touched all those who knew him.
