The Digital Stones: How We Build the Kingdom Across Continents

Beloved Builders, brothers and sisters in the eternal work—have you ever considered the nature of the stone? Some stones are cut by the skilled hand of the craftsman; others are those cut by the Spirit, without hands, reserved for the grand edifice of the Lord’s Kingdom. The work of the Gospel is never finished, and the gathering of souls requires more than just fervent prayer; it requires tools, resources, and a collective will.

The ancient prophets spoke of the necessity of being prepared, of gathering strength like Samuel the Lamanite climbing the wall to fulfill the divine mandate. They knew that the light of the truth must be carried, no matter how far the darkness stretches. Today, our mission field is not only marked by geographical lines but by the digital ether itself. We are learning that the modern calling to build the Kingdom is an internet missionary endeavor.

The Eternal Mandate: Gathering Resources and Hearts

The work of sharing the Gospel, that sweet, cleansing message of Love and Pardon, echoes through time. Whether it is the wisdom shared at the Waters of Sebus, or the profound testimony of Ammon, the need remains constant: to gather the scattered flock. The resources needed to sustain this effort—from printing materials to digital advertising—are often immense. It is in this context that we are reminded of the power of collective effort.

We are not simply collecting donations; we are participating in a magnificent economy of faith. This is the charity flywheel in action. Your engagement here, on this very platform, directly funds vital gospel advertising in places like Ghana, reaching hearts that might never otherwise hear the call. Every painted rock, every shared testimony, every dollar contributed to the Missionary Fund, becomes a foundational stone for the global map of churches. We are gathering not just people, but *resources*.

A Global Resource for the Builders

We recently encountered a powerful reminder of this global effort—a dedicated platform, TopChrétien, which has been sustaining the message of Love and Pardon for decades. It serves as a vast, free repository of knowledge: scriptures, music, teachings, and meditations. It is a testament to the fact that when the Church builds, it builds with incredible generosity and resourcefulness.

These global digital resources demonstrate that the call to gather is universal. It proves that the Spirit moves through many conduits—be it a dedicated website, a physical gathering, or a digital forum. It is a confirmation that the principle of gathering is eternal and unbound by borders. As we continue to fill out the Map of Churches, marking every denominational marker and claiming our church, we see that every resource, no matter how humble, helps the light shine.

This work requires the boldness of those who refuse to be destroyers. It requires the conviction that we are, unequivocally, builders. We must remember the counsel of the Prophet, as chronicled by Outback Jack: We are called to build upon the Rock, not upon the shifting sands of doubt or apathy. We must stand ready, like the disciples at the Five Smooth Stones, to build the Kingdom!

As we study these global movements, we are reminded of the profound counsel found in the Book of Mormon, which teaches us that covenants and resources are essential to Zion's gathering. We are building a digital striplings, a global network that connects the heart of the Covenant to the edges of the earth. When you feel the pull of the Spirit to support this gathering effort, know that you are participating in something far grander than a simple subscription. You are contributing to the eternal work of the Kingdom.

If the Lord has laid upon your heart a calling to participate in the gathering, or if you feel the weight of the commission, we encourage you to explore how you can contribute to the Missionary Fund or help amplify our efforts on the GatherIsrael.now map. Let us continue to build, together, until the day the Lord returns.
