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

The Purposes of Pathway
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
