Jonathan Johnson recently returned from BYU-Hawaii, where he met, presented to and collaborated with an eager, receptive, responsive, and warm audience of Mormon students, BYU-Hawaii faculty and administrators. It was an exceptional experience and opportunity, laden with love and combed with the Spirit of the Lord.
As a resource to this and other BYU and LDS university students and leaders, the More Good Foundation, founded by Dave Neeleman, Ken Woolley, and Jim Engebretson, reaches out to empower members to share their faith online–to have the tools and the know-how to be effective in engaging in the global conversation about who we are as Mormons. If you are new here, please visit our Facebook Group page as well as our homepage and browse our discussion pages/notes for ways to get involved, as well as our sites, respectively.
President Wheelright & Jonathan Johnson
BYU Hawaii, with 80% of its student population hailing from other countries, is filled with students eager to participate in inter-displinary work teams–where those in IT, language studies, business, international development–can come together to meet the ever-growing needs of their homelands in receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ. Students so engaged in putting their resources and abilities to work in this manner, can begin immediately to advance the gospel at home, without waiting to complete their degree and returning to their place of origin to make a real difference.
Thanks to President Wheelright, David Lucero, Gabriele, all of the faculty and students, escorts, performers at the Polynesian cultural center and new Friends of the Foundation who have been cultivated as a result of this experience. We look forward to implementing and helping members execute their desire to share their stories and faith online in accessible ways.
“And the sound will go forth from Zion!”
