Missionary work is a cornerstone of the Mormon Church. Mormons have been taught through the scriptures that it is their role to “teach all nations” the truthfulness of Jesus Christ’s message. According to Mormon Newsroom ,
More than 85,000 [full-time] missionaries are serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at any one time. Most are young people under the age of 25, serving in more than 400 missions throughout the world.
Missionaries can be single men between the ages of 18 and 25, single women over the age of 19 or retired couples. Missionaries work with a companion of the same gender during their mission, with the exception of couples, who work with their spouse. Single men serve missions for two years and single women serve missions for 18 months.
Missionaries receive their assignment from Church headquarters and are sent only to countries where governments allow the Church to operate. Missionaries do not request their area of assignment and do not know beforehand whether they will be required to learn a language.
For the first time, young women amount for slightly over half of new missionary applications. Over 1,000,000 Latter-day Saints have served missions since the Church was founded. The success of Mormon missionaries and the missionary program is evident through the number of people converting to the Mormon faith each year.
During missionary service, Mormon missionaries suspend their usual activity in educational, vocational, and family pursuits in order to serve. Missionaries pay for their own monthly expenses while in the mission field, though the Church pays for transportation costs to and from the field of service. In 2015 the monthly cost for young people serving a mission was $400. Senior missionaries, however, pay monthly expenses demanded by the areas where they serve. In 2015 the cheapest missions were in South America, India, and the Philippines, while the most expensive missions were in Europe.
In addition to teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ , missionaries provide valuable community service. Indeed, some missions are service, rather than proselyting missions. An example would be Humanitarian Aid missionaries.
Senior missionaries serve for 6 months to two years, and may give very specialized service based on their former vocational experience and hobbies. Some senior missionaries who perform “service missions” are able to live at home while serving in some capacity. This enables seniors with financial or health problems to be able to serve. At the end of 2014, there were 30,404 Service Missionaries.
Mission presidents serve for three years and are supported financially by the Church during their term of service.
Young people with disabilities are increasingly able to serve, as the Mormon Church takes the gospel online. Online missions have been very successful. Most contacts come through Mormon.org , which gives basic information about the Church and the gospel of Jesus Christ. People who go to the site can chat with a missionary at their leisure. This relaxed method of communication enables the curious to ask any sort of question or even chat at times when they have special needs.
There are also very short, very specialized missions, such as those for youth for the summer, who act and perform in Nauvoo.
Missionaries don’t “sell” the gospel, but present the tenets of the Church, ask investigators to read the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon, and then to pray for a witness from the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is true, and the Church is true. A spiritual experience in response to prayer helps converts anchor themselves in their personal relationship with Christ and not the likable missionaries. Missionaries are also transferred often to new locations, so converts don’t get too attached to them.
Mormon missionaries receive training before they go out into the “mission field.” Training is longer for those who must master a foreign language in order to teach the gospel. Training takes place in Missionary Training Centers (MTCs) located around the world, with the largest in Provo, Utah. In 2015 there were 15 MTCs. In addition to Provo, centers are located in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, England, Ghana, Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa and Spain.
Even a few weeks of intensive training at an MTC, however, is not enough for a missionary to be able to serve well. Their schedules are rigorous, and living conditions can be entirely different than they are used to. Homesickness and culture shock must be faced and overcome. Especially since Mormon missionaries are being sent out a a younger age than they once were (until 2012 young men served at 19 and young women at 21), much training must occur in the home. A knowledge of scripture and responsibility in church and the community, even scouting, help prepare youth for the responsibility of missionary service.
All Mormon missionaries have made higher covenants in Mormon temples, so they are exemplars of committed Latter-day Saints living by the high standards demanded for temple attendance. All male missionaries hold the Melchizedek Priesthood, or higher priesthood of the Church.
Missionaries are called into one of over 400 missions worldwide. A “mission” is an area of administration with a “mission president” who oversees the missionary work in the area. Some missions are geographically small, and others are very large, depending on the Mormon presence in the area and local interest. For instance, the city of […]
All missionaries serving for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon missionaries, have one common goal in mind. That goal is to bring souls unto Christ. Missionaries throughout the world teach the same message of Jesus Christ and the blessings that can come from accepting Him into one’s life. Put simply, Mormon missionaries are sent to […]
People of different ages, backgrounds, genders, and skill levels are serving as Mormon missionaries throughout the world today. The basic prerequisites for serving as a Mormon missionary are faith in Jesus Christ, personal worthiness, and belief founded in the doctrines of the Mormon Church. To be a Mormon missionary, one must be a baptized, confirmed member of […]

Missionaries are called into one of over 400 missions worldwide. A “mission” is an area of administration with a “mission president” who oversees the missionary work in the area. Some missions are geographically small, and others are very large, depending on the Mormon presence in the area and local interest. For instance, the city of Santiago, Chile, is divided into four separate missions, and each has its own mission presidency. There is much interest in the Church in Chile and a large population in Santiago. However, a mission in Russia might encompass hundreds of square miles.
A potential missionary receives a call to serve after he has stated a desire and made any necessary life adjustments with the help of the bishop of the “ward” (parish) in which he resides.  The “call” arrives as a letter from the First Presidency of the Church. The potential missionary can request a locality where he desires to serve, but all mission calls are the result of prayer and inspiration, so his request might be ignored if inspiration dictates that there is a better place for him.
Missionary service begins at an “MTC” or missionary training center. There are missionary training centers in Provo, Utah; Preston, England; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile; Bogotá, Colombia; Lima, Peru; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Hamilton, New Zealand; Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Madrid, Spain; Accra, Ghana; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Manila, Philippines.  A missionary destined to serve in an area where he will be speaking in his native tongue will spend only a brief time in an MTC. There, he will learn more about the gospel, and will prepare to teach and to serve. Those missionaries who need to learn a foreign language in order to serve receive intensive language instruction at the MTC and are there longer.
After preparation and instruction at an MTC, each missionary is sent to the mission where he will serve. Once in the mission field, the missionary is assigned a “companion.” Companionships are an important aspect of missionary service. Missionaries serve “two-by-two” for their own safety and spiritual well-being. Usually, one member of a companionship will be more experienced and can help a “green” missionary learn the ropes. Companionships are temporary. Often, missionaries are transferred to other locales within the mission. This provides new experiences for the missionaries and keeps people who are new to the gospel from relying too much on one person for their connection to the Church. Missionaries learn much from their companions; often, patience is the most important personality characteristic fine-tuned in a companionship.
The main purpose of most Mormon missionaries’ service is to share the gospel with those who are searching for meaning in their lives. Missionaries are instructed to teach everywhere, and to everyone who desires to hear the message, although missionaries don’t venture beyond the boundaries of the missions to which they are assigned. Missionaries are well-known for their door-to-door approach of sharing the gospel, but proselyting missionaries use every opportunity to teach, whether it be on the subway or in the supermarket.  Other missionaries are there specifically to serve the community and do no proselyting. Mormon missionaries also serve fellow Mormons in their congregations. Missionaries often teach lessons in church services. They also participate in local service projects, community service, and help those with special needs. Members of the Mormon Church are expected to support the missionaries in their area. In most wards, members invite missionaries over to dine with their families.
Missionaries live a disciplined life, waking everyday at six or six-thirty and retiring early to bed. Mormon missionaries engage in daily scripture study with their companions. They pray daily to have the Holy Ghost direct them to those who are ready to hear the gospel. Their days are spent going door to door and teaching those who seek to learn more about Mormonism. Most missionaries use bikes as their main mode of transportation. In some areas, missionaries use cars to get from place to place.  Male Mormon missionaries are easy to recognize in their dark suits and name tags.  Sister missionaries always wear dresses.
While on a mission, Mormon missionaries literally leave the world behind to focus on the Lord’s work. They don’t speak with their family or friends from home, except through letters, or infrequent emails, or two phone calls home each year. They don’t listen to radio or worldly music. They live humbly, with few material possessions. This may seem like a lot to ask of young men and young women, but by leaving the things of this world behind, missionaries can be more focused on proselyting and becoming more spiritually connected to the Lord.
Missionary experience changes young men and women for the better. By serving a mission, young people learn to be kind, service-oriented, and Christ-like. Missionaries strive to enrich the lives of those around them, and in so-doing, develop a deep love for the people and countries where they serve. They develop the ability to fellowship other people with sincere warmth, while they develop leadership ability as well as the ability to follow direction that comes from above. These talents, along with fluency in a foreign language and culture, translate very well to the marketplace upon the missionary’s return home. Former missionaries are in great demand in the business world, as employers have recognized their desirable qualities.

As of 2011, there were approximately 55,000 full-time Mormon missionaries serving throughout the world for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which is often misnamed the “Mormon Church”). These young men, young women, and senior couples are typically 19 to 26 years old (or retired age for the couples) and have taken a break from their studies, careers, and personal lives to serve the Lord.
Young women typically serve for 18 months, young men for 24, and senior couples may serve from 6 months to 24 months. During the time that they serve, Mormon missionaries are expected to live very high standards. Missionaries are official representatives of the Church—how they act reflects upon the “ Mormon Church .”
What are some examples of the common rules for Mormon missionaries?
There are additional guidelines given to Mormon missionaries similar to those above. Mission rules may vary from mission to mission, according to the mission president and his assessment of the needs of missionaries under his care. While some people may look at these rules and think, “Why is that rule necessary?”, it is important to remember why Mormons serve missions.
When Mormons choose to serve missions, it is a choice to dedicate the next several months in full-time service to help others learn more about Jesus Christ and His gospel. Therefore, the rules are designed to help missionaries keep their focus and spend their time wisely. Many of the rules are also established for the safety of the Mormon missionaries who work all across the world, many in dangerous areas. By keeping the mission rules, missionaries are more likely to be safe and protected.
Because some people are more familiar with missionaries than they are with everyday members of the Mormon Church, a common misconception is that all Mormon members follow these same rules. Most of these rules are only for Mormon missionaries (e.g., no TV) and do not apply to other members of the Church. The rest of this website focuses on Mormon rules that do apply to all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Mormon missionaries have become so much of a cultural joke that there is a Broadway musical about them. Everyone knows what Mormon missionaries look like: classic dark suits with white shirts and ties, and that iconic name badge with "Elder Last Name" or "Sister Last Name" and the full name of the Mormon church: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Mormon missionaries are always trying to get you to take a copy of The Book of Mormon and to tell you about their crazy cult, right? They just want to get you baptized so you count toward their points to heaven. And so the only thing to do is to close the door in their faces or run away and hide. If you don't, they're sure to bore you for the next three hours talking about Joseph Smith, their special bible, and getting married in their secret temple ceremonies.
I know all the clichés. We Mormons sometimes make fun of them ourselves. But as a mother whose daughter recently returned from the Houston, Texas mission, I've found that I have new insights about what is the best thing to do in various situations.
A few facts about missionaries that might help you understand who they are and why they do what they do:
1.Male Mormon missionaries are usually between the ages of 18 and 20, sister missionaries between the ages of 19 and 21. That's pretty young. The older I get, the younger it seems. These are practically babies out there. They're barely out of high school.
2.Many Mormon missionaries fund their mission from their own savings, sometimes with the help of their parents, sometimes with the help of the church as a whole. They save their whole lives to go on a mission. When other teens are saving money to buy clothes, a car, or for college, many Mormon teens are instead saving to go on a mission.
3.Missionaries are supposed to live on a fairly strict budget during t
