This venture has nothing to do with the Mormon (LDS) Church other than the fact this guy is a member.

The leadership of the Church will not acknowledge or encourage the project in any official capacity, and will definitely not 'dispatch' members to live there.

The only exception being if there are actually 20k people, there may be a single pair of missionaries assigned to visit every now and then.

That's not exactly nothing.
