MLC - Technology Pioneers for the ABM - July 2018

In this historic missionary leadership council, the leaders of the Australia Brisbane Mission received their smartphones. These smartphones have many benefits including enhanced record keeping, study tools, and new ways to teach lessons! The ABM will soon be a social media mission as well for the purpose to increase daily contact with people investigating the gospel. Another added benefit for the missionaries is they can break free from old habits of wasting time on devices and bring home good habits to teach their future posterity. We are so thankful for this opportunity to hasten the Lords work!

MLC - June 2018

We were so blessed to have Chad Hymas come to missionary leadership council and discuss how to improve the mission culture and how to hit our year goal of 2018 in 2018!

600 baptism and 1418 reactivations!

Chad Hymas and Zone Conferences

We were privileged to have Chad Hymas visit the ABM during zone conference, to expound his wisdom to us on overcoming trials and becoming the person our Heavenly Father wants us to be. He also taught us how to bear  unwavering  testimony through stormy seas. We were all touched by his story and his example of Christlike attributes. We are grateful he took time out of his busy schedule of traveling all over the world, speaking to companies, teams, and businesses; to speak to us. The ABM is sending  our love wherever you go, Chad. God be with you till we meet again!

MIRACLE!: During Chad's visit he came to church and met Elli at church. Chad leaned over to Elder Hymas to ask him what her calling was. To Chad’s astonishment, he was told that Elli had been investigating the church for 5 months and wasn’t a member! This sat on Chad’s mind as he went to his hotel. The next morning Chad asked Elder Hymas to set an appointment with Elli so he could meet with her. Elli agreed and Chad, Elder Johnson, and Elder Hymas all went to teach a discussion. During the discussion the spirit prompted Chad to ask Elli to be baptised in 2 days! Chad told Elli that he wanted her to text him in the morning to see if that’s something she wanted to do. Elli texted Chad in the morning and told him that she would love to be baptised and she wants him to baptise her. On Friday June 29th, Elli entered into the waters of baptism and was baptised by Chad.

MLC - April 2018

"We must protect the culture" - Elder Craig A. Cardon

We were fortunate to have Elder Craig A. Cardon attend Missionary Leadership Council. We discussed about the mission culture. The Australia Brisbane Mission has a culture of Exact Obedience. Elder Cardon explained that the mission culture starts with the leaders and then works its way out to the whole mission. They set the example.
We also learned the process of how we are assigned to a specific mission by revelation from God, to the Quorum of the Twelve. That same revelation is in use when President McSwain prays to know what areas to send missionaries within the mission. 

ABM Mission Tour with Elder Craig A. Cardon of the Seventy

We were very lucky to have Elder Craig A. Cardon come to our mission to share an inspired message about 'Who We Are' as missionaries, and also more detail about the changes in the church announced at General Conference. Because of our missionaries diligent preparation on studying Chapter 4 of Preach My Gospel, everyone was able to have their questions that they wrote down prior to the conference, answered.
