New Film Carries Missionary Message

A new Church film is being distributed that is designed to carry President Spencer W. Kimball’s message of increased missionary work Church-wide.

“Go Ye into All the World” has been produced by the First Council of Seventy with assistance from the Missionary Committee under the direction of the First Presidency. It is expected to be available in all languages in which the gospel is now taught and will be shown at quarterly stake conference leadership meetings.

After initial exposure in leadership meetings all members of the Church are to have the opportunity to view the film. Suggestions for accomplishing this objective include showing the film at a special family home evening on a night other than Monday and showing it at Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women’s activity night, to the older children at Primary, at Sunday School, and at seminary and institute of religion classes. “It will be necessary to make arrangements to show this film many times in the stakes, districts, wards, and branches of the Church,” a First Presidency directive stated.

The film, in color, features President Kimball on Temple Square and in his office, presenting his call to “every worthy and able young man” to serve a mission. The need for good, early mission preparation is stressed, along with the call for an increased missionary force. President Kimball also explains his plan for increased use of mass media and technology and literally taking the gospel “into all the world.”

“Financial readiness should be planned for years in advance,” says President Kimball in new film on missionary work.
