Youth of the Las Vegas Nevada Redrock Stake shared their beliefs on camera at a recent Youth Conference, answering Elder Ballard’s call to share the Gospel online. The production was beautiful, and I see several good things coming of this:
Youth can tell their friends about the video and link to it from Facebook or MySpace [...]
As a missionary in England, President Gordon Hinckley was known to have preached from a portable stand in Hyde Park, presumably because there were large gatherings of people there.
YouTube is the 3rd most visited website in the world and another avenue for sharing the Gospel. The Church has published several dozen videos on YouTube, as [...]
We’ve just launched a new version of MormonTestimonies.org and we’ve changed our assumption of what a “testimony” is. Instead of sharing your “one” testimony, MormonTestimonies.org now encourages you to share multiple “testimonies.” You might share your testimony of the Savior, or of tithing, or of the Book of Mormon.

The newly redesigned Mormon.org includes a chat feature which connects interested parties with “missionaries and trainers at the [...]

In a recent Church Newsroom podcast, Scott Swofford, Media Director of the Missionary Department, said new media and the Internet should be used to find people for the full-time missionaries to teach:
