Hello welcome back to our weekly
witnessing tip. We're so glad that you
could join. And this week, we're going
to talk about a topic that probably is
one of the first things people think
about when they hear about the Mormon
Church. Okay.
Missionaries. Right, yes. Yeah and one of
the big misconceptions is that LDS
missionaries have a lot of training
before they are sent out right? Right.
Yeah but in reality it's two weeks? Two
weeks in an english-speaking
country and just think of the stress
that puts on somebody trying to do a job
without much training right? And now on
top of that, they have all their mission
rules and regulations. They're isolated
from family and and most of the people
they talk to reject them. You know, many
Mormon missionaries have a lot of anxiety
because they have a very stressful
experience.
Yeah and that's why we have a program in
place for those who want to reach out to
these missionaries and and share Jesus
with them in love. And it's called Please
Open the Door and that's what you're
going to talk about today. Right and
we've been doing this for a few years
and hundreds of people have done this
all around the world actually. But what we
have done recently is we have revamped
the material and actually moved the
website Please Open the Door
over to witnessinlove.org, our educational
platform. So it's all there. So please go
there. But in addition to that we did up
a couple major additions. One of the
major additions is we have a tab on witnessinlove.org
called Witnessing Scenarios and
it gives you ... how to present the
topic of sin, for example, and maybe four
or five different ways, how to talk about
salvation, four or five different ways.
So we have that. The other thing
that we did, we made a little
handbook for people witnessing to Mormon
missionaries and this is
it. And you can order that. It's
for free and the website and everything.
So we really have put a lot of effort
into redoing Please Open the Door to
make it even better.
Yeah and the feedback has been great.
Those witnessing scenarios.
People will ask a question and it's one
of our witnessing scenarios.
So, I mean, these are real things that
people are coming up against when
they're sharing Jesus and want to know
answers to and so yeah we encourage you
to go check that out. Over the years,
hundreds of missionaries, Christian
missionaries, have tried this method out
and with great success, really good
experiences. And one really important
point that we have to say is this whole
program is not waiting for them to come
to your door. What it is is we take the
initiative and we will guide you every
step of the way, but we ask you then to
take the initiative and ask, call 
the LDS Church up, go on their
website and ask for missionaries to come.
And again that works out very well but
that's laid out in great detail on the
website. Right and we'll partner you with
a mentor who will walk you through what
to expect right and so you don't go
through this alone. And we would love for
you to go to witnessinlove.org and
then click on Please Open the Door to
learn more and reach out with any
questions you might have.
Right, well hopefully you will try
this. Most people have had a wonderful
experience. Yeah and some of them stay in
contact with their missionaries for
years down the line, going to their
weddings and sending Christmas cards.
Yeah so you have an opportunity to
share the love of Jesus. Until next time.
Alright bye.
