CHANGING WORLD“We live in a changing world. Technology has altered nearly every aspect of our lives. We must cope with these advances – even these cataclysmic changes – in a world of which our forbears never dreamed.”

President Thomas S. MonsonEnsign, May 2003

TECHNOLOGYQUOTES

CARRY THE GOSPEL“President Hinckley added to his powerful, emotional witness a list of concerns for the future. One of his concerns particularly stuck in my mind. His worry was that with the great growth of the Church throughout the world, it would become increasingly difficult for the Apostles to reach all members of the Church and personally admonish them to live the gospel. Thus, the future would bring greater reliance on technology to carry the gospel message to the worldwide Church.”

Elder L. Tom PerryEnsign, May 2000

TECHNOLOGY

INVENTIONS“I believe that the Lord is anxious to put into our hands inventions of which we laymen have hardly had a glimpse.”

President Spencer W. KimballEnsign, October 1974

TECHNOLOGY

MISSIONARIES“There are over 7,000 AM and FM radio stations in the United States, with thousands more in other parts of the world. There are innumerable opportunities for us to use these stations overseas, if we only prepare the message in the native languages.

Also, missionaries could be supplied with small portable cassette tape players and go into the homes with prepared messages to humble family groups all around the globe. Millions of people are anxious and willing to learn, if only they can hear the “sound” in their own language and in a manner that they can grasp and understand.

QUOTES

Just think what can be accomplished when we broadcast our message in many languages over numerous radio stations, large and small, around the world, and millions of good people listening on their transistors are being indoctrinated with the truth.”

President Spencer W. KimballEnsign, October 1974
