The number of full-time missionaries serving around the world has soared since President Monson announced that members can begin missions at a younger age. The response of faithful youth and couple missionaries accepting missions is clear evidence that the Lord is encouraging members to serve and share the gospel.

If a full-time proselyting mission isn’t an option for you right now, did you know that you can serve a part-time Church-service mission?

Church-wide, there are more than 32,000 positions for Church-service missionaries to fill and only half of them are currently filled. Some of these opportunities even let you serve from home. See a list of Church-service missionary opportunities.

• The Church-service missionary website provides resources to help you understand the qualifications, get started, browse opportunities, and fill out forms. It also has videos of missionaries sharing their experiences.
• The upcoming LDSTech broadcast at noon on July 12, 2013 will be a presentation on the opportunities and processes surrounding Church-service missionaries. It will provide visual aids to help stake presidents and clerks better understand how to manage their Church-service missionaries. It will also help worthy young men and women whose circumstances prevent a proselyting mission to discover new avenues for service.
