“This is the 50th anniversary of the Church here in Indonesia,” said President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as he concluded his weeklong Southeast Asia ministry Thursday in Jakarta.

“May I express, on behalf of the leadership of the Church, our heartfelt gratitude for the faithfulness of Church members here in Indonesia,” said President Nelson.

The prophet addressed Latter-day Saints gathered in Jakarta for a devotional at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The devotional was broadcast to all congregations in the country.

He praised Latter-day Saints in Indonesia for pledging 5,000 hours of community service, which included efforts to feed the hungry, projects to clean up and beautify the community, work to assemble hygiene kits and blood drives.

Indonesia was the fourth and final stop on his ministry, which also included meetings with government leaders and members in Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore.
