KING
BENJAMIN
INTRODUCTION
- Reach the homes of
all the children of God, and minister to their needs, inspired
by the words of King Benjamin (Mosíah 4: 14-27) not judging them,
but trying to see them "Released from the confinement of poverty
and want, they will then be better able to receive the spiritual
gifts He holds in store for them." (Pres. Thomas S. Monson, Ensign,
May 1991)
- Develop new and better
nutritional habits among the Latter-Day Saints and others who
