Banbury Ward Mission Plan: “Love, Share, Invite”

Monthly Missionary Ideas for Members for January:

With a non-member friend, share a time when you and/or your family have been blessed by the Lord.
Offer meaningful service.
Pray specifically for a missionary experience in your morning prayers. Keep the prayer in your heart throughout the day and act.
Talk to a non-member or less-active member about something you heard/learned at church.

Message from a Missionary Serving from the Banbury Ward:

I'll talk about the power of scriptures today. Once we were knocking in a poorer neighborhood, searching for Spanish homes. We went up and knocked a door (not Spanish), and heard yelling inside. Somebody was clearly not having the best day. An angry woman opened the door, with a phone at her ear and a child at her side, and abruptly asked what we wanted. We told her who we were, to which she replied she didn't have time and we'd have to come another day. I asked if we could just share a scripture with her before we left; she agreed, already calming a little, but still clearly stressed. I believe I shared Mosiah 24:14-15. The spirit came quick, and it was cool to see how immediate it calmed her down. We left her with a prayer, and I walked away grateful for the chance to bring her a peaceful moment that day.

I testify the Book of Mormon has power to connect us with God. It can bring us peace, strength, and counsel, and combined with prayer I recommend it to all. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
