Missionary Leadership Plan from Stake

Actions Leaders Can Take to 
Hasten the Work of Salvation

• Create a Ward Mission Plan where you set specific goals for missionary work and outline the when, where and how of the ward’s missionary labors.

• Call an outstanding Ward Mission Leader who has a passion for missionary work and the time to devote to this sacred cause.

• Call an adequate number of Ward Missionaries who also have passion and time. Set clear expectations for their weekly activities.

• Hold weekly Missionary Coordination Meetings with the full-time missionaries, ward missionaries and key representatives from priesthood quorums and auxiliaries.

• Make Missionary Work a priority in Ward Council and Ward PEC meetings. Discuss the progress of investigators, new converts and targeted less active members.

• Hold a Sunday School class on how to do missionary work. Cycle all ward members through the class. Teach the why and practice the how.

• Host more activities that are missionary friendly and give members an opportunity to invite their non-member friends and family to come and participate.

• Sponsor at least two service projects each year that impact your community and give members a chance to involve their non-member neighbors and less active members.

• Get new members to the temple as soon after their baptism as possible. Have your Family History Consultants work with them to prepare their own names for the temple.

• Assign your best home and visiting teachers to new converts and targeted less active members. Make sure these people are visited at least once per month.
