t door #4 of 5 Star, a male nonmember had
been praying for some time that someone
would come by.  The EQ President and CSM
were an answer to his pray.
2.
D
uring the same night as #1 above, a less
active sister who previously wanted her
name removed from Church records was
pleased to have members ask her questions
and address her needs.  She is back in
Church.
3.
I pulled over to help a soccer coach.  We
chatted. I asked the 5 questions.  We are
teaching him.
4.
In a 12-unit apartment, we knocked on all doors
seeking a specific member. Instead, in separate units,
we found two less active members and a nonmember
to teach.  Within 3 weeks, we were teaching 3
different households.
5.
A salesman came to my door and when he was done,
I “reverse solicited” him and asked him the 5
questions.  We taught him three FTM discussions in
our home.
6.
I contacted a colleague in another state using the 5
questions at the correct moment in our chat.  The
FTMs in that state and I taught him – via Zoom for me
and in person with FTMs.   I attended his baptism via
Zoom.
7.
Going out with FTMs, we find people to teach within
an hour each time we’ve gone out the last 5 times.
 Be Christlike, courageous, creative, curious, complimentary, and continually follow up.

  2. Please Study . . . . . . President Oaks and Elder Uchtdorf s October 2016 General Conference talks, Sharing the Restored Gospel and Fourth Floor, Last Door

  3. Harness the Power of Members Speaking to mission presidents, President Nelson said, Your success will be multiplied exponentially as you harness the power of members with whom you serve. President Russell M. Nelson, in an address to new mission presidents, June 2018

  4. Defining Exponential Success In Ogden Utah Mission: No change One more member per Stake finds 2 people to baptize: +174 people baptized One more member per Ward finds 2 people to baptize: +1,436 people baptized Additional people per Ward get involved, baptizing 4-5 people per ward: +3,000 or more people baptized

  5. Utilize Membership Lists to Full Capacity Systematically Find (More) People Using 5 Star Method Involve your Membership Clerk. Attempt to find mystery people in your Church records who the ward council members do NOT know then go and find them.

  6. Utilize Membership Lists to Full Capacity (At a person s door) Hi, I m ____, and this is____. We live in the area and are trying to find some of our Church members. Covid and other factors have made it difficult to be aware of where some of our members are or who has moved. Does ______ live here? Whoever is there, love them & engage in a normal, natural conversation. Go with Christlike love and acceptance. Be creative, curious and complimentary. In the natural course of chatting, ask Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions? (then pursue an intentional gospel conversation the 5 questions.)

  7. Utilize Membership Lists to Full Capacity Find More People 5 Star If the mystery member no longer lives there, chat with THAT person using the 5 questions to start. Then go to at least four (4) other neighbors and ask about the mystery member. Attempt to find contact information for the person so you can forward their records and update your records. Engage each of those 4+ persons in normal, natural conversations. Once you sense that the timing is right, ask Would you mind if I ask you a couple questions? then pursue an intentional gospel conversation.

  8. Utilizing Members God-given Talents Finding Role This role is for those persons who naturally share the Gospel but who simply don t have time to do all the supportive ministering that is or will be required to initially support people who are found. This role could be filled by anyone WML, EQ counselor . . . anyone. Nurturing Role For those who may be apprehensive about initiating Gospel sharing but are or could become great at ministering to people.

  9. Engage the Ward Continuously Ward Council Take a different nurturer (weekly) to find people on your list, helping inactive members to return, and finding people for missionaries to teach. Make sure to teach the nurturers/ministers their roles to be the primary ministers & mentors to those persons who are found. Obtain a list of mystery members of record from the membership clerk and/or ward council. Names to find are those that EQ & RS cannot. Use 5 Star and 5 questions to find and to engage people in conversations.

  11. Involving the FTMs in the Finding Process Finding Role A WML or proactive member accompanied by the FTMs has proven to be a very successful combination in seeking to find mystery members and to implement 5 Star. The advantage is that the FTMs become involved with teaching immediately and friendshippers and nurturers are added in later. Nurturing Role Based on the demographics of the newly found persons, the WML and ward leaders determine which combination of members should be requested to be the main friendshippers and nurturers.

  12. A Few Brief Examples 4. In a 12-unit apartment, we knocked on all doors seeking a specific member. Instead, in separate units, we found two less active members and a nonmember to teach. Within 3 weeks, we were teaching 3 different households. 1. At door #4 of 5 Star, a male nonmember had been praying for some time that someone would come by. The EQ President and CSM were an answer to his pray. 5. A salesman came to my door and when he was done, I reverse solicited him and asked him the 5 questions. We taught him three FTM discussions in our home. 2. During the same night as #1 above, a less active sister who previously wanted her name removed from Church records was pleased to have members ask her questions and address her needs. She is back in Church. 6. I contacted a colleague in another state using the 5 questions at the correct moment in our chat. The FTMs in that state and I taught him via Zoom for me and in person with FTMs. I attended his baptism via Zoom. 3. I pulled over to help a soccer coach. We chatted. I asked the 5 questions. We are teaching him. 7. Going out with FTMs, we find people to teach within an hour each time we ve gone out the last 5 times. Be Christlike, courageous, creative, curious, complimentary, and continually follow up.
