1 you don’t need to worry about where you go. Behold, i sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor (doctrine and covenants 88:81) Missionary work has been a critical part of the gospel of jesus christ. Following are a few quotes from past and present church leaders about these sections of the doctrine and covenants. Missionary work is a prominent theme in the doctrine and covenants Throughout this book of scripture, the lord admonishes his followers to proclaim the gospel, declaring that the field is white already to harvest (see, for example, d&c 4:4
“as you prayerfully seek and cultivate missionary opportunities in your daily activities, you will find many ways to serve They include helping to find, convert, and retain new members. This revelation sets forth the purpose of the doctrine and covenants and establishes its divine origin, calling the world to repentance in preparation for the second coming. Elder bednar teaches that a missionary’s assignment to labor in a specific place is secondary to the call to serve He also discusses mission preparation. As “every man may act in doctrine and principle … according to the moral agency” (doctrine and covenants 101:78), faithful disciples of christ conscientiously act as agents in both the temporal and spiritual aspects of their lives and in service to others, he said.
Sharing the gospel blesses both the giver and receiver.
