    The Road to Zion television series is attempting to create an international record of the history and growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The series explores international Church history from a local perspective by delving into the history and culture of each land in order to understand why and how the church developed there. We hope Road to Zion encourages viewers to value and share their own experiences with Church history in the areas where they live. We also hope to create more venues through which these stories can be told. If you have experienced or know of significant historical events in the growth of the Church in your area, please share them with us on this site.
