This strategic initiative aims to maximize the outreach of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ by engaging volunteers and leveraging modern electronic distribution methods. By understanding our global audience, we can publish diverse content across various languages, devices, and media types. The Vineyard program encourages participation from both church members and non-members, simplifying volunteer tasks and promoting crowd-sourced efforts. Our focus is on integrating volunteers’ skills while minimizing resource demands, thus broadening our reach and enhancing service opportunities.
