We envision that the majority of your courses will be filled with members from your ward. We ask that you or your Counselors meet in person with 12-16 individuals (including couples) from your ward and prayerfully extend a call with the proper doctrinal explanation of the goals and expectations of the course. Besides individuals with immediate needs, you should consider calling those in Ward leadership roles to participate in the courses and others as directed by the Spirit.
We recommend that your Ward Welfare and Self-Reliance specialist be called to facilitate these groups. Our Stake Welfare and Self-Reliance Specialists/Education Mentors are in place to train and lend support to your Ward Welfare and Self-Reliance Specialists. As the needs arise, other Self- Reliance Initiative courses may be offered by the stake throughout the year.
Your clerks can order manuals from Church Distribution or electronic versions are available on the church website or the Gospel Library app. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to brother Michael Sumner of the High Council, Brother and Sister Buys or to any member of the stake presidency. We love you and your faithful ward leaders’ efforts to bless so many of our Heavenly Fathers children.
