How many Lebanese Mormons are there?

Question

How many Lebanese Mormons are there? or at least how many members of the LDS church are Lebanese living in Lebanon right now?

Answer 1

Well, there are 25,000 Americans living in Lebanon, so I am sure at least some of them are Mormon. But I don't think the Church is established there, or anywere in the middle east. There are however a few members in Turkey, 158 members to be exact (as of Dec 2005).

Early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints preached in Turkey in 1850, recognizing present-day Ephesus as the New Testament home of the Christian congregation to which Paul, Timothy and John belonged. In May 1854, Latter-day Saints organized a congregation in Turkey. It consisted of British Latter-day Saint soldiers who, along with allied forces from Turkey and France, fought against Russia in the Crimean War.
In 1884 the Church established the Turkish Mission and sent Jacob Spori, born in the Swiss Alps, to preach in Turkey. Three months after arriving in Istanbul and teaching himself the Turkish language, Spori began preaching. While there, he also taught English, French and German. In 1887 Mischa Markow, a Hungarian living in Istanbul, joined the Church. After his baptism, he returned to Hungary to preach. In September 1889, the first Arabian converts were baptized in Aintab. For many years Church growth in Turkey was slow but efforts during recent decades have led to the organization of several new congregations. The first of these was organized in Ankara in October 1979. In 1991 the Church sent an estimated 13,000 blankets, 80,000 pounds of clothing, and funds for medical supplies to aid Kurdish refugees in Turkey.
