Intrinsic Challenges and Opportunities of the Church of Jesus Christ
 Missionary Service
While the bulk of missionaries serving in the Philippines continue to come from abroad, and especially North America, there is a missionary training center for training full-time local missionaries in Manila, Philippines. Fewer than 10% of eligible LDS young men in the Philippines serve full-time missions. Pray for local members to catch the vision of missionary service and for increased self-sufficiency of local missionary efforts.
