They go two by two.
They are young people — and sometimes older couples — who leave home for a time to talk about Jesus Christ. They go two by two. If you are not ready, say no. If you open the door, they treat you with respect.
Called by revelation
Each young teaching missionary is called by the President of the Church. An Apostle assigns a mission by revelation. Before leaving, the missionary is set apart to represent Jesus Christ.
What they carry
The grace is not their own; it comes from Jesus Christ. Their calling gives authority, while prayer, covenants, and faithful service allow the Holy Ghost to work through them.
They help people believe in Jesus Christ, repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure.
They do not force an answer. They teach, listen, and invite; the Holy Ghost confirms truth.
They study, pray, and serve with a companion. No one carries a mission alone.
Your next step
There are teaching and service missions for young people and adults. The journey begins long before a call letter is opened.
Strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ and care for your spiritual, physical, and emotional readiness.
He will listen, answer questions, and open the official recommendation process.
The President of the Church calls you; an Apostle assigns where and how you will serve by revelation.
