0:07 – #ASaviorisBorn

The Church launched its Christmas initiative, “A Savior is Born,” which includes two beautifully produced videos, printables, gifs, and an advent calendar. The campaign will once again appear on taxi cabs, billboards, and video screens in Times Square. The Church hopes members will share the message online throughout the month and that they will set new records with number of video views. Last year’s video reached over 33 million viewers!
