At a time of unprecedented opportunity, Latter-day Saint missionary and member-missionary efforts are operating far below their potential. Recent missionary program changes have led to modest improvements, yet annual LDS growth rates remain below 3%, and most converts are lost to the Church. Few active members participate in member-missionary efforts at all, and vast numbers of individuals throughout the world remain unreached by the gospel message. In The Law of the Harvest, Dr. Stewart shares proven principles validated over fifteen years of research into effective missionary programs around the world. The Law of the Harvest will help your missionary efforts to reach their divine potential. You’ll learn how to:
• Engage all active members in sharing the gospel
• Set empowering goals while avoiding unhelpful ones
• Manage time efficiently
• Retain 80-100% of new converts anywhere in the world
• Optimize your finding program for local circumstances
• Teach for true conversion
• Implement principles of effective leadership
Individuals, congregations, and missions that have implemented these
principles have consistently seen productivity multiply.

Customer Reviews
 | Jonah Barnes from Provo , UT | | | This book is a brilliant and objective look into what is really happening around the world with LDS missionary work. David Stewart is scholarly and thorough and his observations are not for the faint of faith. He does not put the Church on trial, nor it's doctrine, but pushes every pre-missionary who reads it to reconsider the import of their assignment and the methods they should employ. It is our stewardship he debates. By the end of the book a much clearer vision of the reality of the LDS missionary program is exposed. Nothing like this has been doen for the Church before. Highly recommended for any member of the Church serious about spreading the Gospel. |
