Using Creativity to Find Solutions to Problems Presented by COVID-19

Text of excerpt, if available

Our missionaries increased their efforts to teach the gospel through video calls, often including their evacuated foreign companions who were sitting in isolation back at home. We pushed our young missionaries to think outside the box, try new things, be creative, let your light shine! They created new Facebook pages, Instagram accounts and YouTube channels. They started live “radio shows”, “rooftop live” virtual concerts and online English classes. YouTube, in particular, is incredibly popular here in Korea. We have literally reached millions of new people through this media alone. We were amazed by the creativity of our missionaries, their positivity and ability to adapt, endure and lift each other up through such a stressful time.
