P for President Nelson

 

The A-Z of Ministering by Duncan Horne

Ministering describes the collective and organised effort in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where members keep in regular contact with one another to offer spiritual support and welfare assistance

"P" post

President Nelson, the living prophet, initiated the ministering program for the church. He said, "it is our privilege to act in the name of Jesus Christ to bless God's children according to His will for them. Just think of the remarkable assurance the Lord gave us when he said, 'whosoever you bless I will bless.'

"We will implement a newer, holier approach to caring for and ministering to others. Effective ministering efforts are enabled by the innate gifts of the sisters and by the incomparable power of the priesthood.

"A hallmark of the Lord's true and living Church will always be an organised, directed effort to minister to individual children of God and their families.

"I invite you to inspire members to keep their covenants, fast and pray, study the scriptures, worship in the temple, and serve with faith as men and women of God."
