The gathering of Israel is accelerating — with record numbers of converts joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and entering the waters of baptism in every region of the world.
Speaking to new mission leaders in June, Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said that in 2024, over 308,000 of God’s children entered the waters of baptism and received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This equates to about 50,000 more converts in 2024 than the previous year. It is also more convert baptisms than the Church has had in nearly 25 years.
He said this “spiritual momentum” has continued to increase in 2025. Comparing the first quarter of this year with the first quarter of 2024, every region of the world has seen at least a 20% increase in convert baptisms.
