Children Keeping Covenants

“When I think of [reaching more students], I

see little girls and boys sitting in Primary

classes in this country and, indeed, all over

the world. These children will make and keep

sacred covenants with the Lord. I believe the

Lord desires to bless them…That will take

education—higher education of the kind we

have talked about today.”

President Kim B. Clark, Inaugural Response 2005

1GET THE GOSPEL DOWN INTO STUDENTS’ HEARTSThe Pathway program has been particularly helpful in reaching those who are spiritually lost.

“We have been trying to enroll

many semi-active YSAs in

Institute, with very little success. It

seemed that no effort on our part

could persuade them otherwise.

With Pathway we have 15 students

who were not involved in Institute

now attending!”President Nelson, Bellingham Washington Stake
