A unique and singular opportunity

“Sister Nelson and I are

delighted to participate in this
upcoming worldwide
devotional,” President Nelson
said. “What a unique and
singular opportunity to
address youth around the
world, all at once! May I extend
a personal invitation to every
young man and young woman
in the Church, and to our
many friends of other faiths, to
join us on June 3.”

Sister Nelson said she has

observed for many years how
much President Nelson loves President Russell M. Nelson and Sister Wendy W. Nelson
the youth of the Church. “I
have heard him pray for the
youth, and I have been inspired by his e orts to help them sense how much the Lord
loves them and trusts them,” she said.

“There is something undeniably special about this generation of youth,” President Nelson
added. “Your Heavenly Father must have great con dence in you to send you to earth at
this time. You were born for greatness! The days ahead will be breathtaking. Father in
Heaven must have known that you would be just the people He needs to do remarkable
things in the latter days—the days leading up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”

“I hope the youth of the Church will see this event as a precious opportunity to hear the
voice of the Lord speaking to them through His prophet,” said Sister Nelson. “I hope our
time together will give each young man and each young woman a vision of who they truly
are and who their Father in Heaven wants them to become.”

Prepare to participate

In a special video invitation to youth (see above), President Nelson invites youth to
prepare for the broadcast by:

Reading from the Book of Mormon every day before the event.

Asking the Lord in prayer to “prepare your heart and mind to hear
what He is eager to teach you.”
Local priesthood leaders should plan to watch the broadcast together with their youth at a
date and time that best serves the youth in their units. Youth may also choose to watch
the broadcast together with their family.

Provide For the Strength of Youth booklet

President Nelson has asked that every young woman and young man be o ered a
physical copy of the For the Strength of Youth booklet at the conclusion of the devotional.

Leaders throughout the world will need to have su cient copies available. To aid in this
e ort, Distribution Services will send booklets to bishops and branch presidents
throughout the world. If leaders do not receive these copies in time for the event, they can
gather all available copies from existing stock in meetinghouses. If enough copies cannot
be located, leaders should provide them as soon as possible after the event. 

Although many youth access For the Strength of Youth online or in the Gospel Library, for
this event President Nelson desires that each be o ered a physical copy. He will explain
why during the devotional.

Stake technology specialists

Stake technology specialists should refer to the  broadcast schedule for languages and
