So, Philippines is 78% of SSD.           Growth rate is 8%. 

Things are going well here. 

It will continue to grow, because of the efforts of the Newer Division Pres. (about 3 years now.) 

As you can see, some of the unions are very large. Same with conferences. So he is splitting them up. 

This is really energizing things.  New leadership with a smaller geographic territory. This means more involvement by the officers. New blood. New pastors. Church member see the progress. 

And the Holy Spirit is working on the converts. 

Number 5 is smaller conferences, Cambodia  Laos  Sabah Thailand Vietnam
