Can anyone tell me the percentage of Church members who are actually working on their lines - I thought I heard it was only 4% - I have a talk in Stake Conference and would like to pass this on

Church wide we will have to rely on someone from Head Quarters or with special access to tell us. The last I saw the percent of submitters (printing cards for the temple or sharing with the temple in a given year) was just shy of 6%. You can find out the percent of the submitters in your stake by getting a ward or stake leader or stake consultant to go to Leader and Clerk Resources after they sign in. In L&C Resources is a link to Family History Activity Report. Click on that and it will give you the percent of the adult and youth members of your stake that have submitted a person for temple work this year through the end of September.

 

Now this measures just a certain activity (submissions) and that doesn't reflect members doing other things but other than the number of members indexing it is about all we really have to measure.

 

In our stake the percent is 18.5 through September but we are not a typical stake as most all our priesthood leaders have bought in to the concept that Family History work helps make the members' testimonies stronger and we really push family history work. 36% of our youth have taken their own names to the temple this year. We want this to be over 50% - but again this is far higher than the average in the church.

 

Ask around as you really need to see your stake report.
