Member Missionary Work
“If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart.”
Missionary work is not just for full-time missionaries. Like many others, you may feel nervous about sharing the gospel. Remember, anyone who shares the gospel needs to have the Holy Ghost. If you have the spirit with you, the words will be put in your mouth and you will be guided by your desires to serve.
Here are some simple ways you can build confidence in your abilities to share the gospel and see success as a member missionary.

Seek Positive Interactions with Others
In your daily life you may be associating with people that are not members of the church. You can help open their hearts by simply letting your religion show.
Decide to Be A Missionary
As you take initiative and start looking for opportunities to be a missionary, opportunities will come.
Love the People Around You
When you are genuine with the people you interact with, sharing the gospel will be natural and they won’t question your sincerity. Your relationships will only grow stronger as you openly respond to questions about your beliefs.
Invite People to Serve and Participate in Church Activities
Everyone wants to feel needed and helpful. Ask people to help you with activities, lessons, or special fasts. These sorts of activities will help them feel the spirit and expose them to the gospel in a non-threatening setting.
Share the Gospel through Social Media
Many people who have an interest in learning more about the church look online; be a part of the conversation!
