Who are we Baptizing?

Who are we baptizing?

You get what you go for!

One of the questions that was ask during our CCM this Sunday. Makes me wonder why such questions was raised? 
Then this was posted in the next slide which made me think something's missing during my mission days.

8 And also that a feast of fat things might be prepared for the poor; yea, a feast of fat things, of wine on the lees well refined, that the earth may know that the mouths of the prophets shall not fail;
9 Yea, a supper of the house of the Lord, well prepared, unto which all nations shall be invited.
10 First, the rich and the learned, the wise and the noble;
11 And after that cometh the day of my power; then shall the poor, the lame, and the blind, and the deaf, come in unto the marriage of the Lamb, and partake of the supper of the Lord, prepared for the great day to come. 

- Doctrine and Covenants 58:8-11

Other Scriptures

• 2 Nephi 26:33 (invite them all)
• Alma 10.30-35 (God is no respecter of person)
• Mark 16:15 (Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature)
• Mark 16:20 (Disciples went forth and preached everywhere)
• 1 Timothy 2:4 (God "will have all mem to be saved")
• D&C 18:10 ("the worth of soul is great)
• Matthew 28:19  (Go ye therefore, and teach all nation baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost)

Why the need to baptize these people?

• Establish the church by providing the leadership base which is the biggest challenge of a growing church (D&C 65:3 -preparers)
• Accelerate growth (Numbers were hold for confidentiality) The great need for self-reliant members and leaders that can serve.
• Better retention

Help achieve Real Growth!!!

How?

I never thought anything on this one during my mission. But yes, we knew that the Gospel must be preached to everyone to the poor or rich.

Me and my Wife at the Chapel.

And this was the challenges for everyone experiencing the same obstacle in doing missionary work -

Challenges/Barriers to Overcome

Missionaries' FEAR

Members' FEAR

Now, to sort the Topic. The missions objective is to invite people to come unto Christ, but quality conversion to people with a self-reliant mindset is needed to help run the church.
