"I am engaged in my Master's business; I am a minister of Jehovah to proclaim His will to the nations.  I go to unlock the door of life to a mighty nation, to publish to millions the principles of life, light and truth, intelligence and salvation, to burst their fetters, liberate the oppressed, reclaim the wandering, correct their views, improve their mortals, save them from degradation, ruin and misery, and lead them to life, light, truth and celestial glory."

WORLDWIDE MISSIONARY BROADCAST

JANUARY 20, 2016

FOR 75,000 MISSIONARIES SERVING ACROSS THE GLOBE

The role of the Holy Ghost in conversion -- presented by: 
       Elder David A. Bednar
Meeting the needs of those whom the missionaries teach -- presented by:
        Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson
Retention, activation, and working with Church members -- presented by:
         Elder L. Whitney Clayton

(a summary from the) message given by:  Elder Dallin H. Oaks   

“The fundamental purpose of our missionary work is to teach the word of God that men and women cannot be saved in the highest degree of glory, the celestial kingdom, without faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and that the only way to lay claim to the ultimate merits of that Atonement is to follow the commands of its author: repent and be baptized and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost and the ordinances of the temple and endure to the end. Those who do this can be exalted in the celestial kingdom.”

No one else can do this, declared Elder Oaks. Other churches cannot do it. Good Christian living cannot do it. Good faith, good desires and good reasoning cannot do it.
