Mormon Youth

Heber J. Grant stated, “I believe there is nothing in all the world that can compare with the joy that a man feels when he realizes that he has been the instrument in the hands of the living God of reaching some honest heart, inspiring in it a love of God and the desire to serve Him.“

As Mormon youth, we too share the responsibility of sharing the gospel in our schools and communities. When we share the gospel, we held bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to those around us, but it also strengthens our own personal testimony of the Mormon Church. It can sometimes be intimidating to share the gospel, as we fear we might offend someone or be ridiculed. Despite these fears, we must persist in finding tactful ways to share our beliefs. With Mormon Testimonies, sharing your testimony has never been so easy.

Mormontestimonies.org is a website that aims at compiling written and video testimonies from members worldwide. This site is viewed by investigators of the Church, as they seek more information and support. Your individual experience, story, or conversion to the Mormon Church could greatly influence an investigator. As a young person, you have a great amount of influence and power. Taking the few minutes to write about how the church has inspired your life can have a great impact. You will also be able to view your friend’s testimonies, and other people from your ward and stake, under the “Browse Testimonies” link. Testimonies will be classified by geography, generation, by name, and stakes and wards. The process of submitting your testimony is easy. Simply go to the Mormontestimonies.org website and under “Quick Start,” type your name or pseudonym if you would like to remain anonymous, and start writing!

This is an extremely effective yet easy way for Mormons to share their testimony. The youth of the Church has some of the most influential testimonies in the church. Your words have the potential to touch and inspire those looking for the truth.

Most of the sections for Mormon Youth are up! I’m still working through the dating section (and, oh, if anyone has any suggestions, I’ll be happy to take them. Dating is so complex), but the section on Mormon beliefs and the Mormon Church is mostly up. I hope you find these interesting.

Here’s a sample from the article on faith:

Well, what can we say. Faith isn’t always hip. The media (and doesn’t the media have so much to say) can show religion as blind and out-dated. Faith is for people who like to fool themselves and God can’t have a hand in the world, since so many awful things happen every day.

Of course, in giving up on God, we take that much meaning out of the world for ourselves. It’s funny how some like to comfort themselves by saying that our greatest Comfort doesn’t exist.

Faith in God, in Christ, isn’t something we have one day and then have pure and strong forever. Like much in the gospel, it’s a Mormon belief that faith requires a daily, progressive effort. We accept Christ, we believe that He died for us, and then we work daily to strengthen our convictions.

We are creating a new site that will be targeting young people who are already members of the Mormon Church or who are interested in knowing more about what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teachings are.

Contribution are welcomed. Those interested can write to mctwebmaster@gmail.com
