The Society currently works in twelve countries and territories on five continents. It has missions in Asia in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea; in Oceania, in Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and The Cook Islands; in Europe, in the Netherlands and in England; in the United States of America; and in South America, in Guyana.[citation needed]
