Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Mormons are an often-overlooked mission field; as a result, very few are reaching out to them. Many Christians talk about witnessing about witnessing, but don’t know how to get started.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Please Open the Door
Don't wait for missionaries to knock on your door; you can take the initiative and request to have missionaries visit with you. You'll find step-by-step instructions on the Please Open The Door website, as well.
