Abstract

Reactivation and retention of members and converts plays an enormous role in the duties of LDS missionaries today. Modern prophets have stressed the need to retain new members through a calling, a friend, and hearing the good word of God. Dozens of hours a week are allotted for reactivation of less active members in missions around the world. It is an essential part of member and missionary work for the Church.
