Sharing your unique story
January 12th, 2006 by Richard K Miller | Filed under Mormon, Online missionary work.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.
Some Church-related topics lend themselves nicely to a central, authoritative reference place–topics like Church government or Church history. Anecdotal topics, on the other hand, like “What it’s like to be a Mormon missionary” or “Why I am grateful for my temple marriage” could be meaningfully written a thousand times. Each of our stories would be different. And that’s precisely what the Internet needs and what search engines will value–not one “authoritative” story that is duplicated on many websites, but 1000 *different* stories that personally defend and promote the Gospel. Then these stories need to be linked to each other.
If you haven’t yet done so, please take the time (perhaps this Sunday afternoon?) to write about your mission, or your marriage, or your family–something you feel strongly about. Write it using words a person of another faith can understand. It might help to visualize a non-Mormon friend or colleague to whom you’re writing.
When your story is complete, post it on your own blog or website. If you don’t have a blog or website, use the New Site Tool (located in our Member Portal) to sign up for one, or contact us. We can set you up with a blog or website for free, no matter what your technical experience.
Once your story is published online, add the link to our database using our Link Tool, or e-mail it to us. We’ll help facilitate linking between the stories so that we all gain more exposure. Your story will make a difference to the thousands of persons of other faiths who search for more information about us each week. They will be touched by your faith.
