What Mormon Missionaries Teach

All Mormon missionaries have one common goal in mind.  That goal is to bring souls unto Christ.  Missionaries throughout the world teach the same message of Jesus Christ and the blessings that you can have by accepting Him into your life.  Put simply, Mormon missionaries are sent to teach faith, repentance, and baptism.

Mormons will teach basic principles of Mormonism.  The missionaries will teach about the trinity, which we believe is comprised of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.  Mormon missionaries will teach about the plan of salvation, which is a road map for where we have been, why we are here on earth, and where we are going.  They will teach about the importance of prophets and their ability to receive modern day revelation.  Missionaries will teach about the importance of having a family and serving others. If we accept Jesus Christ and live according to His teachings, we can dwell with Heavenly Father forever.

Missionaries will teach about Joseph Smith and the first vision.  Mormons believe that Joseph Smith prayed to know which church to join when God and Jesus Christ appeared to Him and told Him not to join any of them.  He was instead supposed to restore the Gospel of Jesus Christ upon the earth.  For years, the truth had been lost during the Great Apostasy when prophets strayed from the church and destruction ensued.  Through inspiration from God, Joseph Smith found the ancient brass plates and translated the Book of Mormon.

Missionaries will use the Book of Mormon to teach you basic principles of the Mormon Church.  The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is to help believers strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ and to convince others to come unto Christ.  The Book of Mormon was written for our generation in this day to bring men unto Christ.

Missionaries will encourage those they teach to ponder the words of the Book of Mormon and ask Heavenly Father sincerely through prayer if the Mormon Church is right for them.  When the investigator has learned about the gospel of Jesus Christ and has gained a testimony of its truthfulness, the missionary ask if he or she wants to be baptized.  Being baptized and confirmed a member of the Mormon Church is a major event in one’s life that brings much happiness and peace.
