Outstanding Come Follow Me Resources

I volunteer as Executive Director of Book of Mormon Central. Our vision is to build enduring faith in Jesus Christ by making the Book of Mormon accessible, comprehensible, and defensible to people everywhere. With a dedicated team of volunteer directors and advisors, donors, paid staff, and volunteers including service missionaries, we are engaging about 250,000 people every 24 hours with the good news of Jesus Christ and the Restoration in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Book of Mormon Central (BMC) engages our audience with several strategic imperatives:

This rich offering is shared with the world free of charge in the spirit of Isaiah 55:1 and Alma 1:20. BMC measures success by the number of user engagements (aka touches). Every read, view, listen, like, share, comment, etc. is a user engagement. Dividing our cumulative dollar spend by user engagements gives us our cost per user engagement, a measure of how productively we are utilizing our donor's money. The trend is sharply downward from 36 cents per user engagement in 2016, our first year of operation, to 4 cents so far in 2020.
