- In a country rich in biblical history, Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is meeting with Latter-day Saints and friends of the faith in Amman, Jordan, the first stop of his weeklong ministry to the Middle East and North Africa. This is Elder Bednar’s first visit to Jordan.
“We have traveled halfway around the world to be with you today,” said Elder Bednar as he provided guidance and encouragement to around 100 members and friends at a devotional held at the Amman Branch on Friday morning, October 22, 2021. It’s a diverse multi-cultural branch includes Jordanians and members from several other Middle Eastern countries along with families of employees who work at various government embassies in Jordan.
I’ve been to Jordan many times and it makes my heart filled with joy to see this little group of Saints there now. The Lord’s gospel is going to the world.
To the people of Jordan: sending our love to you from Las Vegas. Thank you for your example.
Back in the summer of 1998 here in Scotland i felt inspired to write to King Hussein 1, wishing him, get well sentiments and support for his well being. Also i sent him a gift of the book of Mormon!
I never expect a reply but got one in a kind letter dated 12 August 1998 from the Royal Palace of Amman with the King ending the letter " I am your sincere friend.
Hussein 1.
I hope the kingdom and seat of Government of Jordan gives the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints the Gift of Official Registration if it is still lacking.
The work moves forward! How thrilling to see the gospel move into lands we never dreamed it could go in our lifetime!
This touched my heart. In these last days it won't matter where we live. Turmoil will be all around us, but as Elder Bednar reminds us, we, the covenant people of the Lord can be armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory (1 Nephi 14:14)
I love to see all brothers and sisters united ❤with faith and love. Thank you so much for the support, love, and respect. ❤
I loved hearing a few of the words of Elder Bednar and his sweet wife as they visited these stalwart pioneers! We will pray for you, please pray for us that we may all stand valiantly in our testimonies of the Savior Jesus Christ now and in the days ahead 💗
i have LOVED JORDAN for a LONG time! First visted as a teenager many years ago, I am not a member of your church but I am glad you are there!
Brother & Sister HADDAD, i thank HEAVENLY FATHER & BELOVED HOLY HEAVENLY MOTHER, for you & your family, as member's of THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS.
I was deeply moved by the faith of my Brothers and Sisters in Jordan.
Father bless these and others Saints who follow you and your Son, Jesus Christ.
May God's Work continue forward to ALL God's Children! ❤️✝️🕊️🙏🇯🇴
Thank you for these Apostles, Church leaders, and especially these interpreters! ❤️
What a great show of faith to live in a Country like Jordan and be members of the Church. Truly touching to see the faces of these members as Elder Bednar speaks to them.
Loved the promise from Elder Bednar for the Lord’s covenant people.
The world can only be saved by the growth of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Not this church
Thank you lord for all you have done throughout my life and for those on here as well Amen 🙏
I'm so excited to see this video. I can imagine the feelings they had, to have a Living Apostle in their land.
Wow.... this really pulled happy tears from my eyes... I love my Jordanian brothers and sisters. 🇯🇴❤
That's incredible! What a blessing to those Saints in that land.
The world is in commotion. ☑️
Covenant people of the Lord will be armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory. ☑️
These words sustain President Nelson’s recent Sun AM conference talk and call our attention to points of reference, as Brother Hyrum Andrus used to say.
This lets us know where we are in relation to the procession of events leading up to the open return of the Prophet Joseph Smith, receiving the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, reintroduction of Celestial Law, the redemption of Zion (Jackson County), the restoration of the body of the 10 lost tribes (as opposed to scattered Israel), and the building up of the New Jerusalem.
Exciting times that Nephi saw. The Lord also taught us about these times quoting Isaiah as he taught the Nephites after His resurrection.
God bless my Jordanian brothers and sisters. I'm so happy and humble to see them strong in the church..
I absolutely love Jordan. It is a beautiful country. My grandparents served their mission in a city called Irbid in Jordan in 2000-2001.
Such a big congregation! I'm so surprised--that's wonderful!
Lord bless you as you pioneer the way to what one day will be a grand world wide stage for the Saviors Kingdom!
What a blessing to have an apostle visit that tiny branch.
They are so blessed to see them in person. When I met Bednar I was in wow.
Muy lindo los templos amen y amen
A historical moment in our Church history and for me to witness this. I wouldn't be surprised if a temple is built there. Thank you Elder and Sister Bednar for remembering our Saints in Jordan.
No harm been optermistic but its unlikely for a long time!
Beautiful country. Beautiful people. We love our Jordanian brothers & sisters!
Love from New Zealand xx
Wow! I want to hear their conversion story.
Brother you are strong & I admire your faith. I'm not a member but I like to watch the videos.
I love these pictures and talks.
Thank you for sharing 🙂❤️
Great to know about members in Jordan
Shukhran
So neat! What a beautiful city and good people.
God bless the people of Jordan!
I love this so much!!
God bless our jordanian brothers!
How awesome.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
Dood i used to not notice how sweet the leaders' words are 😊😊
The enlightened.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou hast done; for thou hast inquired of me, and behold, as often as thou hast inquired thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time. Behold, thou knowest that thou hast inquired of me and I did enlighten thy mind; and now I tell thee these things that thou mayest know that thou hast been enlightened by the Spirit of truth;”
Doctrine and Covenants 6:14-15
That’s awesome 👏
Glorious
Wow
It helps to consider what life is like for other people.
Amen
Wow 😁😁
❤️
Here's a question for ya: If the rest of us have to view Sacrament meetings and Stake Conferences and General Conference virtually and have Zoom meetings then why are we flying Gen. Authorities around the globe? Nothing being dedicated here - just a devotional.
A number of reasons.
A general authority visit is symbolic.
It also shows the saints in Jordon that they are supported and not forgotten either by the church HQ and Jesus for surely the comforter will have been felt by the faithful. The faithful there have many challenges and obstacles in their path.
The people of Jordon, Iraq Syria and Iran are of the Abramic covenant and no less worthy than Their Christian and jewish brothers and sisters!
1 Nephi 14:14
Sad to see, that "this little band", when, just a few years ago there were actually, many Jordanian lds there, from Irbid down to akhaba. but today they are gone or unseen.
I love this? We need to pin pal people over there
Doubt more harm than good
Amazing!
