An Introduction to Media Referrals

Resources for Specific Referral Requests

Use these resources below when you receive a media referral requesting a specific item or lesson.

How to Be Successful

You’re successful when you do your best to share a message and make a meaningful invitation. Not everyone will get baptized  but as you follow up diligently on all referrals, the Lord will be pleased with your efforts.

How to Care for Media Referrals

Watch how these missionaries respond and prepare once they receive a media referral. 

1

Contact the person as soon as possible

Follow through with each request for a Bible study by contacting the person. Text is usually best! Be prepared to discuss the topic they requested.

2

Give them the item they requested

If someone requests a Bible, don't give them a Book of Mormon. Avoid any approach in the visit that might leave the person feeling tricked. You may, however, discuss additional topics and scriptures as needed to clarify your message or answer other questions.

3

Keep the Area Book Planner updated

Make sure that the information is as up to date as possible. The more information you have can help you and missionaries in the future be more prepared to meet and teach each individual.
