Jesus Christ Is the Foundation of Missionary Work

I was grateful to be joined by a few of our wonderful missionaries at the Provo Missionary Training Center recently as we discussed how missionary work—and all work in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—is built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

We can liken these foundational principles of missionary work to a pyramid, with the base “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone” (Ephesians 2:20).

Next, missionaries utilize the principles and teachings found in “Preach My Gospel,” a guide to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, where they teach others the importance of faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, confirmation—receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost—and enduring to the end. This leads to lifelong conversion to Jesus Christ and His restored gospel, which is the ultimate goal of all missionary efforts.

How grateful I am to be involved in sharing the Savior’s gospel with our missionaries across the globe.
