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 reside in the province.
  • Provide the training and experience the parents in Zion need for the implementation of the project, directing their efforts as a family and applying the skills they learn so that their homes become self-sufficient.
  • Nurture faith so that members put the gospel into action in their lives.
  • Eliminate the curse of hunger among the people of God.
