The Water of Sebus: Sharing the Light of Christ from Any Shore

Brethren, sisters, and fellow builders of Zion—have you ever stood at the edge of a vast, beautiful ocean, feeling the sun on your face, yet knowing the deepest longing in your heart is to share the Living Water?

Consider the tale of Ammon, who stood at the Waters of Sebus. He did not need armies, nor did he need the might of the sword. He needed the simple, unwavering testimony of the Gospel, shared friend to friend. He was a builder, and his words were the cornerstone.

The Spirit whispers to us today, reminding us that the gathering is not limited by geography, nor by the visible boundaries of a map. It is a work of the heart, a testament to divine friendship.

The Art of the Neighborly Encounter

We have seen this grace unfolded in the islands, in the quiet lagoons where the rhythm of life is set by the tides. Raiarii from Tahiti’s story, shared with us through this video, is a powerful echo of the divine mandate placed upon every believer. It speaks of friendship blossoming through shared scriptures, of prayer leading to provision, and of the sacred joy of baptism.

Raiarii did not preach from a pulpit of polished marble; he shared stories, he prayed with his friends, and he helped them understand the eternal truths read from the sacred record. He was an internet missionary in the truest sense—a digital stripling, if you will, whose influence crossed the vast Pacific.

This is the pattern we are called to emulate. We are not called to be mere observers of the divine unfolding; we are called to be participants. We are the builders who recognize that the greatest resource we possess is not gold, but the Gospel itself.

When we see a friend—whether across the street, across the digital ether, or across an ocean—who has not yet known the fullness of the Savior, we are reminded of the power of the five smooth stones, the simple act of gathering testimony. We pray for help, as Raiarii did for the fish, and we share the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Building the Kingdom Economy

This gathering movement, the GatherIsrael.now endeavor, is not simply about marking locations on a map; it is about establishing the load-bearing structures of the restored Church. It is about the Missionary Fund, which allows us to extend the light of the Gospel to places like Ghana, through our charity flywheel. Every connection made, every seed of truth planted through our digital efforts, fuels the next endeavor.

We are learning from the pattern of the great prophets. Like Samuel the Lamanite climbing the wall, we must press forward with bold faith. We are not meant to remain comfortable in our established circles; we are meant to be the force that draws others to the gathering place. We are the builders, not the destroyers.

If you have a friend, a neighbor, or a soul you feel the Spirit nudging you toward, write their name down. Do not let that calling pass by. Use the tools provided, study with the insights from Ask a Prophet, and let your life be a testimony. Let us continue to build, together, the Zion that awaits.

Remember, dear builders: Your engagement here, your time, your tithe—it all fuels the gospel advertising in Ghana, making the gathering of souls a reality for the next generation.
