Lesson 198 · Missionary Preparation
Choosing to Serve a Mission
Help students feel a desire to serve the Lord as His missionaries.
Teach from the manual first
The lesson comes from the Church’s seminary manual
Use the official lesson as written. These activities take a few minutes to open or review class, and the send-home card helps families reinforce what was taught.
The Savior commands us to share the gospel with all the world, and He supports those who do.
New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual (2027). Follow your coordinator’s pacing guide.
Open class
Needed now
Use with President Nelson’s statement on the board: “The gospel of Jesus Christ has never been needed more than it is today.”
Review
The Lord goes before
Students share concerns anonymously, then read Mark 16:20 and Doctrine and Covenants 84:88.
Send home
Into all the world
Send this to your class chat after the lesson. Students and parents can open the story and resources at home, alone or with family.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”Mark 16:15
Ask: How could serving a teaching or service mission bless you and the people you’d serve?
Try: Ask a returned missionary in your family or ward how one gospel message they shared blessed someone.
