Zone Conference Reflections
Called to the Work | Nigeria Aba Mission 🇳🇬
We were blessed to gather for our Zone Conference centered on the theme “Fulfilling Your Divine Mission Calling and Assignment.”
Through inspired instruction, scripture study, discussion, and reflection, our missionaries were reminded that missionary service is more than an assignment—it is a divine calling to represent Jesus Christ and bless the lives of others.
We focused on becoming true disciples of Christ, strengthening our commitment to the work, exercising faith, loving those we serve, and faithfully fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to us.
As we continue to “go forth” with faith and purpose, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord and invite others to come unto Christ.
“Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work.” — [Doctrine and Covenants 64:33]
We discussed what it means to be “anxiously engaged”. We role-played real situations: a discouraged missionary, a struggling companionship, an area with few to teach. The question wasn’t “What would a passive person do?” but “What would an anxiously engaged disciple do?”
“Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;” [Doctrine and Covenants 58:27]
The Spirit was strong as we learned that taking care of our bodies is part of the work.
“Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.” [Doctrine and Covenants 38:42]
Hygiene, housing, food, rest, medicine, and communication are not distractions. “As we care for the body God has given us, we increase our capacity to serve Him and bless His children.”
We committed to a daily standard to maintain cleanliness, keep our apartment safe and orderly, protect our health, and seek help early. Seeking help is not weakness. It is responsible stewardship.
Departing missionaries also shared heartfelt testimonies that touched every heart in the room.
They unanimously testified that the Lord magnifies us when we are obedient.
Their words challenged all of us to renew our commitment and share the gospel with greater boldness.
We are grateful for the example of those going home, and for the charge we’ve been given to carry their spirit forward. Their service has left a mark on the Nigeria Aba Mission, and now it’s our turn to keep building.
Let’s go forward with faith, diligence, and hearts set on the work of salvation and exaltation!
