Sometimes, you just have to use unconventional methods to get peoples’ attention and teach them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here is an example of some missionaries being creative and thinking “outside the box.” Teaching is more than just sitting down and talking.

1) Marriage Panel – Ask long-marrieds to be on a panel where any question can be asked with an honest answer. You might have to come up with your own questions at first, but if you have this activity repeated at various times in the year, maybe focusing on various topics, with various couples on [...]
Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born I’ve never drunk, I’ve never sworn This is Lehi, he’s my dad Laman, Lemuel, they are bad And who is this? Why this is Sam. Sam: Yes, this is Sam; Sam I am Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam I am I do not like that Sam [...]

What an uplifting spiritual experience it was to hear his testimony. [...]
Will all people be able to return to God, or does He pick and choose? Many people have the false assumption that they can go through their mortal life and they are saved by the grace of God without any sincerity on their part. It is true that we are saved by grace; but if [...]
A Department of Homeland Security intelligence assessment equates Christians who believe in “end times prophecies” with violent terrorists and states that radical extremists are “stockpiling” food in fear of Obama administration regulations that may facilitate the occurrence of prophesied events. This newly uncovered document is just the latest in a long sordid line of training [...]
