Florida Orlando Mission 2010-2013: LEADERSHIP TRAINING

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Every three months we have a two day Leadership Training Meeting. It involves all the Zone Leaders, District Leaders, and Trainers (about 47 missionaries).

“True leaders are inspiring because they are inspired, caught up in a higher purpose, devoid of personal ambition.”

That higher purpose, is the Lord’s work. This is why missionaries who truly understand the divine work they are doing (bringing souls to Jesus Christ) have the potential to be great leaders. They follow the example of Captain Moroni, and always stand for God, religion, freedom, and lead by the light of Christ, in their missionary work and in all aspects of their lives.

At this training we had the Zone Leaders teach. They taught how to teach more effectively through prayer, to recognize the Spirit, doctrines and principles and then apply doctrine in their lives. How to teach the Plan of Salvation, Restoration, and Atonement in 15 minutes. The President taught principles of a perfect exchange. And as always, we did ROLE PLAY.

I actually let out a suprised and joyful exclamation when I saw our son in a picture (maybe two!)in this post. It was so great to see him "in action" at the leadership training meeting. It brought me to tears knowing he is there doing the work of the Lord. Thank you so much for posting pictures of the missionaries. We are so blessed by your efforts to keep this blog up. Evelyn Day

FLORIDA ORLANDO MISSION HISTORY

Florida has a deep Mormon heritage, going back as far as 1843. Traveling elders were occasionally sent into Florida until the Florida conference was officially organized November 1, 1895, which conference was within the Southern States Mission. In 1937, the first chapel in central Florida was built in Orlando. In 1950, the church established what is now officially called Deseret Cattle and Citrus Ranch in Osceola County, southeast of Orlando. Today the Church owns 316,000 acres covering three counties, making it the largest cattle ranch in Florida. Orlando was the second Florida stake, and was organized on February 23, 1958.

On November 1, 1960 the Florida Mission was created out of the Southern States Mission. This was the fist mission for the State of Florida. The original Florida mission was divided into the Florida South Mission July 1, 1971, then later into the Ft. Lauderdale Mission (June 1974); the Tampa Mission being created in 1976, and the Jacksonville Mission in July of 1987.

The Florida Orlando Mission is now graced to have within its boundaries the Church Ranch and the first temple of the church in Florida, the Orlando Temple.
