While Visiting Teaching Messages have always focused on the teachings of the Savior Jesus Christ, beginning in April they will begin to teach about ministering as He would.
April’s message, “Love, Watch Over, and Strengthen,” is the first such message to teach these principles.
Visiting teaching can help all sisters follow a higher path of discipleship, said the Relief Society general presidency. They hope that visiting teachers will discuss these responsibilities with sisters they watch over or teach principles that will help sisters increase their faith, strengthen families, and give service.
Several resources have been provided to help familiarize Relief Society leaders and sisters with the current guidelines for visiting teaching. See the Button on the Blog sidebar.
Church Magazines
The March 2012 Ensign magazines include an article about visiting teaching as a vehicle for ministering to each other. “Through Relief Society [and visiting teaching], we practice being disciples of Christ,” said Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president. “We learn what He would have us learn, we do what He would have us do, and we become what He would have us become.”
