Bishops from Cameroon, Guatemala, Ecuador, Kenya, the Marshall Islands, Sierra Leone, Peru, Tanzania, and Uganda are currently requesting additional help from LMH and MDA.

The organizations provide candidates with a four-month residential formation program in Los Angeles covering theology, Scripture and adult development. Workshops address Mission, Social Analysis, Communication Skills, Mission Spirituality, Skills for Cross-cultural Living, Relationships, Intimacy and Sexuality Overseas, Mission in the Context of Social Change and Violence, and Moral Issues. There are also weekly area studies, daily prayer and community life.
