Pointe-Noire Miracle

The miracle of Pointe-Noire was that the members of the Mpaka 2 branch in Pointe-Noire taught people the missionary lessons and prepared people for baptism before the missionaries started teaching them. You can implement this in your ward by following this system:

Sometimes, the ward or branch mission system is in shambles. Some ward missionaries don’t even know that they are ward missionaries or they have received no training. When the missionaries go into a ward, they need to see the list of all of the ward missionaries. Then after church on Sunday, they need to start training the ward missionaries on what to teach to prepare people for baptism. The “ward mission leader” might be setting a bad example by not going out and teaching. Make sure that he is and that he is setting an example

The goal is to have the ward missionaries know what to teach so that they can confidently teach people the gospel and so that they know the lessons and why they should teach them.

Then ask the ward missionaries one by one how many hours they can dedicate to teaching the gospel each week. For some it could be 5 hours for others 2 whole days during the weekends. Then follow up and make sure they are dedicating that time to go out and to walk in the neighborhood and to teach. Make sure that they have enough brochures.
