Promise.
“And so we have begun this work of making it possible for our faithful and able young men and women to climb the ladder which will assure them of economic success. With greatly improved opportunities, they will step out of the cycle of poverty which they and those before them have known for so long. They have served missions, and they will continue to serve in the Church. They will become leaders in this great work in their native lands. They will pay their tithes and offerings, which will make it possible for the Church to expand its work across the world”  (Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 2001, 53–54).

Invitation.
“Our only limitation will be the amount we have in the fund. We again invite all who wish to participate to make a contribution, large or small. We can then extend this great work which will make it possible for those of faith and latent ability to rise to economic independence as faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . . .

“The way before us is clear, the need is tremendous, and the Lord has pointed the way. . . .

“Let us open our hearts, let us reach down and lift up, let us open our purses, let us show a greater love for our fellowmen.

“The Lord has blessed us so abundantly. And the needs are so great. He has said, ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me’ (Matthew 25:40)”  (Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 2001, 54).
