Micronesia qualifies for the Lands of Limited Resources Program funded by voluntary donations contributed worldwide…
"…that by means of an equalizing your surplus just now might offset their deficiency, in order that their surplus might also come to offset your deficiency, that an equalizing might take place."
—2 Corinthians 8:14
It is by means of this program that Kingdom Halls are being built and renovated throughout Micronesia—by willing and eager volunteers. These buildings are bringing much joy to the local brothers and sisters, providing a great witness to the community and bringing praise to our Creator.
Here are some worldwide statistics for the Lands of Limited Resources Program:
Branches in the program: 69
Countries benefiting: 134
Kingdom Hall construction groups: 265
Kingdom Hall construction servants: 2,292
