Since 1993 when POBLO began, it has become the largest and fastest growing mission society in the LCMS. POBLO missionaries are at work along with all our other missionaries; souls are being reached in many Arabic speaking countries.

The total for 2008 is 9,745 souls reached in US and abroad. The total for 2009 for the first half of the year is 6,139 including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
