After His resurrection, the Savior Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples and said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). God Loves His children, and He wants all of them to partake of the blessings of the Gospel of His Son Jesus Christ. Paul taught, “How they shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of who they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” (Romans 10:14-15).
“The worth of souls is great in the sight of God” (Doctrine and Covenants 18:10). Therefore, “How great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the precence of God save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise” (2 Nephi 2:8).
It is only fitting then, that part of the threefold mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes called the Mormon Church) is to Proclaim the Gospel. The Church does this by sending missionaries all over the world. These are sometimes simply called “Mormon Missionaries.” To learn more, click on an article below.
Who are Mormon missionaries? Mormon missionaries can be unmarried young men, unmarried young women, or elderly couples. The young men are often seen in pairs, riding bicycles in suits.
What do Mormon missionaries teach? They teach the basic beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. God is our Eternal Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ is His Son and the Savior of all mankind, and the Holy Ghost, the Testator and Comferter, can teach us all things and bring all things to our rememberance (John 14:26).
What are “member missionaries?” All members of the Church are encouraged to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to love and serve their neighbor.
