Prophets and Apostles Minister

As “special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world” (D&C 107:23), prophets and apostles continue a worldwide ministry. Since the last general conference, members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have, in addition to other assignments:

  • Used social media and Face to Face events to reach out to youth and young adults (see lds.org/youth/activities).

  • Spoken at anti-pornography and family history conferences.

  • Spoken at universities about becoming “true millennials” and in defense of faith and moral values.

  • Met with Church members and leaders, government officials, and religious leaders in Argentina, Botswana, Chile, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Mozambique, Peru, the Philippines, Uruguay, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
