New Resource for Teaching Mission Preparation

A new teacher guide, Missionary Preparation: A Teaching Resource is now available in 38 languages in the Gospel Library and on the mobile app. It will be available to print locally via PDF download and for order through the online store by mid-2025.
This comprehensive guide is designed to harmonize missionary preparation courses across the Church and help prospective missionaries prepare spiritually, physically, and emotionally for missionary service. Students will benefit from this curriculum as teachers adapt and localize the content to best meet local needs. Prospective missionaries' study of Preach My Gospel, which will continue to serve as their primary resource, will be complemented by this course.
Leaders and teachers involved in establishing, administering, or facilitating mission preparation courses are encouraged to review the new curriculum and prayerfully consider who might benefit from it. Guidance on facilitating and organizing mission preparation classes can be found in the introductory materials of the resource. Institute leaders will find additional resources for establishing and localizing classes in the new S&I Help Center where they can connect with a community of instructors and share ideas. The combined efforts of leaders and teachers to prepare prospective missionaries will help them—and those they teach—come unto Jesus Christ.
