Here is an article that speaks very loudly against our traditional approach to missionary work. This is an eye opening, articulate report on the state of mormonism in the eyes of our friends. This approach is not main stream and can be difficult because our leaders have been touting the traditional approach for 180 years.
We have convert baptisms because of what we do, not because of how we do it.
Approaching our missionary work in the stake from the Perspective of logic, reason and sound business principles and letting the Lord take care of the heavy lifting could have a dramatic impact upon our success.
