The beauty of technology and social media in missionary work!

Ah, the beauty of technology and social media and video conferencing as a result of the coronavirus.

Part of the mission during a training via video conferencing

The California Riverside Mission is not fearing technology. Rather, we are embracing it in a big way. After we received inspiring social media training from the Church’s Missionary Department, we developed a Mission Social Media Council with three companionships of missionaries, the Assistants, two technology missionaries, and us. We met to develop a plan for our mission to become more “robust and vigorous” users of social media to fulfill our missionary purpose in spiritually innovative and creative ways.

From district council meetings....

to sister training leaders....

 The Lord also said, “Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men…” (Doctrine and Covenants 100:5). Our missionaries are raising/lifting their voices virtually.

Consequently, the Mission Social Media Council developed several pages, which the missionaries populate each day. We have taken on the moniker “Disciples of Jesus Christ in (name of the city where they are). They are highly innovative and creative in developing gospel messages.

to missionary coordination meetings with stake presidents...

The Facebook pages are below, all 21 of them: ten English, nine Spanish, one Mandarin, and one American Sign Language (ASL) pages. We have since added a music page.

Please follow them and share them with your families, friends, neighbors, and others in your sphere of influence. We know if you do, you will feel the Spirit, gain a greater love for the Savior and His Atonement, and receive blessings for you and your family.
