President Kimball: sharing the Gospel

If you're new here, read more about the More Good Foundation. We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prepared a new manual about the teaching of President Spencer W. Kimball. This manual will be used by the adults of the Mormon Church in their classes in 2007.

The last lesson of the manual is about sharing the Gospel. Among other things we read:

“There is a spiritual adventure in doing missionary work… It is exciting and rewarding. The hours, the effort, the wondering, all are worth it when even one soul expresses repentance and faith and a desire to be baptized…

“Sharing the gospel brings peace and joy into our own lives, enlarges our own hearts and souls in behalf of others, increases our own faith, strengthens our own relationship with the Lord, and increases our own understanding of gospel truths…

“The Lord has promised great blessings to us in proportion to how well we share the gospel. We will receive help from the other side of the veil as the spiritual miracles occur. The Lord has told us that our sins will be forgiven more readily as we bring souls unto Christ and remain steadfast in bearing testimony to the world…”

There is no mention of Internet missionary work in the manual, but the same principles applies to what we can do on the Internet for the people who don’t know well enough the Mormon Church: we will receive peace, we will increase our understanding of the Gospel, we will increase our faith, and more…

So, please consider being involved in online missionary work: it is an option even if you are shy! You may create a simple site, write a blog or help us write some new content or design a site.

There are many things that can be done! If you want to help, please contact us.
