SAMANA CONGREGATION

 
Kingdom Hall is a five minute  ride away by concho, or 20 minute walk from TIBB. 

The town of Samana, located on the southern coast of the Peninsula of Samana,  has two congregations of approximately, 110 publishers, two special pioneers, a number of local regular pioneers and "needgreater pioneers from Italy, Sweden,  Spain,  Germany and the United States and  Canada.  Our elder body is equally as "international", being comprised of elders from Italy, Sweden, Haiti, United States and the Dominican Republic.  There are no English congregations in Samana, but many English-speaking "need-greaters"!

There is a great need for more pioneers (Spanish and Haitian-Creole speaking) to cover the congregation's vast territory.  Samana Congregtion's territory covers nearly all of the southern coast of the  Peninsula of Samana to approximately half of the way to the eastern end (Las Galeras), extending north almost to the small village of El Limon towards the northern coast.  The 2010 census shows  town of Samana' to have a population of 13,062 and the population of the rest of its municipal on the Peninsula to be 61,266. This then would be the population of Samana's terrritory.

The entire Peninsula has a population, according to the 2010 census, of 109 295.  Two other congregations, one located at the west end of the Peninsula (Sanchez) and the other located on the northern shore of the Peninsua (Las Terrenas) are assigned to the rest of the Peninsula.

There is also a need for more brothers to serve in the area to take the lead.

In August 2011, the Dominican Branch Committee resolved all problems with the land for building a new Kingdom Hall in Samana'.  It is thought that the RBC will begin building in October 2011.
