On Thursday, the faith’s mission leader couples attending a training seminar at the Missionary Training Center in Provo got their first glimpse of the second edition of “Preach My Gospel,” which will be used by its current corps of 68,000 proselytizers in some 150 countries. “This new edition comes at a time when the world is rapidly changing,” church President Russell M. Nelson said in a video announcement. “[It] reflects a sensitivity to many of those changes. It contains some of the best instruction I have ever seen to help people accept the Lord’s invitation to come unto him.”The changes include:• Additional encouragement and promises following “diligent scripture study.”• A new section about how best to invite people to be baptized.
Since April 2022, when Nelson reaffirmed his “prophetic call for missionaries to serve,” a news release said, more applications have been submitted. This second edition is available online now in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Additional languages will be available by January.
