Year:1948
Scriptures:
Alma
16:15-16
15
And thus did Alma and Amulek go forth, and also many more who had
been chosen for the work, to preach the word throughout all the land.
And the establishment of the church became general throughout the
land, in all the region round about, among all the people of the
Nephites.
16
And there was no inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his
Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the
children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which
should be taught among them at the time of his coming—
In
about 78 BC (1948) there was a great missionary effort to teach the
gospel to the people in all the regions round about. This missionary
effort was met with great success. It is a pattern of the missionary
program of the church after the Second World War. In 1945, the last
year of the war, there were about 400
missionaries called. After the war the missionary effort increased
with over 3000 missionaries being called 1n 1950. This program met
with great success with over 130,000 people becoming new members of
the church.
