Ask “Who is missing?”
“If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?” (Matthew 18:12).
A band of twelve members from Malden, Massachusetts gathered weekly after church to ask: “Who could have been here today that didn’t come?” As they brought new people in, the location of this after-church conversation progressed from a living room, to a rented storefront and on to a rented hall. After eight years, as members of a ward they grew, that band attended the dedication of a place to call home: their own chapel.

Hello Brother Christensen,
I want to let you know how much I have enjoyed my e-book version of your concepts and strategies to be an everyday missionary. For me and the members of our ward council, we have embraced your book. As a council, we are using Everyday Missionaries in our meetings. We share reading a chapter together during our time together. Our goal is to glean the principles and teach them to our ward members during the month of September.
During our third hour of church we will be teaching from the book and many of the video clips on how to be an everyday missionary. Since September has a fifth Sunday, we will meeting together as Priesthood, Relief Society and the youth and embrace in solidarity our desire to be everyday missionaries. Wouldn’t it be great if you were the one to present your testimony to the great and glorious work? Would you consider coming out to Broomfield, Colorado to present a conclusion to what we have learned?
Yours Thankfully,
Kirk P.
Brother Christensen, I have been listening to your CDs and reading your book here in Great Falls, Montana. I am over missionary work here in our stake and I have been teaching principles from your book to our members.I was wondering if you would consider putting on a multi-stake fireside here in Montana which of course would be centered around missionary work. Thank you for your consideration, Lee Janetski please email me or feel free to call at 406-590-8888
