INTRODUCTION
There is a new approach Church members can take when they invite a friend to meet with missionaries. This approach can work locally in face-to-face interactions or remotely using technology.
The following slides illustrate the new approach.
1
A Church member lives in Taiwan, and her friend lives in the USA. She invites him to meet with missionaries and he agrees to be contacted.
OVERVIEW
2
She refers her friend to the missionaries via the LDS Tools app or LDS.org.
