"The ultimate missionary training center is in our homes," declared Elder David A. Bednar in his 2019 address, "Prepared to Receive Every Needful Thing." Member missionaries-parents, children, youth, and leaders-of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognize that in order to play their part in gathering Israel, home-centered preparation is vital.Preparing Tomorrow's Missionaries Today is a practical, intuitive, and fun approach to become a courageous member missionary now, and for some, a more successful full-time missionary soon. In other words, a most effective disciple of Jesus Christ at home and abroad.This book addresses a dilemma all who want to be faithful member missionaries face, especially those preparing to serve full-time: "How do I share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others in a comfortable and natural way?" In traditional, Church-supported missionary training centers, those who have been called to serve are generously and ably taught what to say. Within these pages we assist home-centered missionary training centers by teaching the reader how to say it. Following the instructions within Preach My Gospel and modern-day prophets' teachings, in this volume tomorrow's legion of missionaries will learn valuable communication skills using friendly methods honed from the authors' years of experience. This is their contribution to making homes more effective missionary training centers-a supportive tool for those who want to confidently proclaim beloved truths near and far.
