ryanmercer Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 This guy is awesome -> Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon He is a real-life friend of mine that hands out a TON of church material. Best part is he is very modest about it. He posts most of his encounters on giving out church material on his blog there. He also offers advice on how to hand out church material to strangers and is just an absolute insipration.From his blog -> "Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about giving away copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.My goals in keeping this blog/journal are: to encourage others to give out copies of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, to illustrate the incredible number of recent immigrants who are eager for bilingual material, to illustrate the ease of encountering them and offering them material, and to make known the wonderful deeds of the Lord (Ps 105:1) in arranging many of these encounters. I realize that the concept of giving out foreign language books to strangers is just plain weird to many people, so here are some hints if you are intrigued by this and wish to try it. Respectful comments and constructive criticism are invited.The goal of the book placement effort is to provide, in a friendly non-threatening way, gospel material to someone who is willing to receive it in their native language and English.To the recipients of these books who read this: I thank you again for allowing me to be of service to you. I encourage you to read the material, and pray to God that He confirm the truth of it to you. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both the Word of God. To live according to their teachings will bring you happiness. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtman318 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 This guy's pretty awesome! Definitely a good example. He fulfills the commandment to have a great knowledge of different peoples and languages, for the purpose of missionary work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
