Dear brothers and sisters. I have recently had the opportunity to read the comments placed on the Juvenile instructor some time ago. After been told about it and what was said I thought that I would check it out. After reading the report I was shocked to see a report that was concise and informative, even if a little incorrect, however it was refreshing to see that this site and its mediators had taken the time to find out and analyze what was being said in an academic way rather than an unintellectual and scar mongering attitude that has to often been the case when these types of reports or posts have been made by other people such as those made on the Nauvoo forum.
After reading the report or post, I thought that I would glace through some of the comments. After glancing through the comments I was once again not shocked to see that some of the people who commented were doing so from a purely ill informed position. For instance there is one women o the comments section by the name of Christine that pleased with people not to send u money by saying
“I repeat, do not send money for Zion Camp!” Comment by Christine — May 15, 2008 @ 8:5 am She then goes on to say
I know these people (the Gills) very well. The whole thing - the ‘breakaway’ church and especially the appeal for money turns my stomach. Comment by Christine — June 13, 2008 @ 3:02 pm
I would be very interested to know who you are Christine. The name rings no bells for me, but maybe if you stopped to contact us for yourself to find out what we really believe you would stop being so confused and upset by what you think we have done.
The above comments are just a few that were made until they were told to stop by the mediator on the site, at least someone on there had the backbone to tell them to stop and for that we tank you.
The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is not secret it is not shut away so that nobody can contact us we are always here to discuss the gospel with people and the restoration, we have never mad mention of the fact that we are some kind of secret religion that never talks to people, however this attitude has been permitted far to often by our persecutors.
Let me once again inform everyone out there that we believe in the Book of Mormon and in Joseph Smith as a Prophet of the restoration. We hold true to that fact that the early church was established by the Lord Jesus Christ to bring about a change and to bring about the true and living gospel of Christ once again upon the earth. We hold true to the belief that the 1835 D&C is the only copy of the D&C to have been approved by the prophet and the church as a whole and therefore stands as the only copy approved by God. We also hold true to the fact that the Kirtland Temple was and still is the only building built by the early saints and by the Prophet Joseph that was ordained of God to be his temple. We believe and hold true to the fact that the church ceased to exist when the Prophet was cruelly took from us in 1844 that he was not given to appoint another in his stead as the D&C tells us he would do. We hold true to the fact that the church at that time had fallen in to disobedience that there were men and women within the church doing things which Joseph Smith and others were trying to eradicate such as the practice of polygamy and other such practices, and because the church had been warned and not listened after the disobedience of Kirtland that if they feel in to error again that the Lord would withdraw from them the blessing of the gospel no successor was chosen. We believe and hold true to the fact that Brigham young and many others established churches after the death of the Prophet without authority from God and although they may have done good works or may now be in the process of doing good work they are not churches of God. We hold true to the fact that that the Lord has called forth his people again in this time to establish his church one again upon the earth. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is that church and has been ordained by God to stand as his kingdom upon the earth. We hold true to the Book of Jeraneck that stands as a further witness of Christ and his divinity. We hold true to the witness in the book of Jeraneck that the land of Britain is a chosen and choice land and that a righteousness people once inhabited its shores full of the love and grace of God ready to do that which was asked of them by him. We hold true that they just as those spoken of in the book of Mormon feel in to error and were slain from of the face of the land and only the wicked were left upon its shores. Many people criticize us because of the book of Jeraneck and its teachings. They accuse it of being fabrication and a book of the devil; however most of these people have never read the book and have never even picked up a copy. Many of these people find the same problems with the Book of Mormon and the Bible so we see no merit in there accusations. The Book of Jeraneck was given to us by the gift and power of God and we shall continue to give it to as many people as ask for it. It has touched many peoples lives, not just those attached to the church. It has influenced people all over the world to seek out the lord more in their lives and to pray more and to actively seek the lord. We hold true to the fact that the Lord has called a modern day living Prophet once again upon the earth and that we receive constant revelation concerning the coming of the Saviour and the last days, not to mention personal revelation concerning our own lives and actions. Revelation is an important part of the church and the gospel, the gospel of Christ can not function without it, it is the instrument that the Lord uses to convey things to us of great importance, revelation is spoken of in all the books of scripture and is a vital part of the latter day gospel. I do not understand churches that t profess to be the true church when they receive little if any modern revelation. We hold true to the fact that this revelation takes many forms that it comprises of lost scripture and new teachings give to us by God.
We have been accused also of being very similar to the LDS church and that we have a lot in common, I would like to disagree with that most whole heartily. The only things that we seem to have in common are that we both believe in Joseph Smith and even that can be different, as we believe in a different version of the man, just as we believe in different version of the book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and the Bible, so in fact although on the face of it we might seem like we have a lot in common, we don’t. This church is lead by God and a real Prophet who speaks with God, not a president who stands as a CEO of a big global corporation.
Although we are small were are true and that stands for a lot. I hope that we are able t help and assist all those people that have become disillusioned by the big LDS church or the crumbling Community of Christ and all the other restoration groups who have no substance. I want you to know that we stand ready to help and assist you in your continued journey to eternal salvation. Please if you are one of these lost sheep, get in touch with us and let us add to the knowledge that you already have, let us show you the gospel of Christ is alive and it is talking to the people today.
God bless you all

Over the past couple of weeks we have been in contact with lots of people from all over the world. This is wonderful to see that our message is being received by lots of different people with the same hopes and dreams that we have. However one set of people have relay struck home to us just how important this work is and the job that we still have to do for the Lord.
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a man in the USA, this man Is wonderful he is truly blessed by the Lord and has a pure heart and wants to know and understand his role in the Lords plan and what role he has to play in that plan. We have been communicating now for over two weeks and he has a small congregation in the US that are also searching for Zion and the truth. I would like to address this weeks blog to them if I may and hopefully others who read this may also gain something from this as well:-

A couple of weeks ago I sent some papers out to our friends in the United States, it seems form our emails that they are having some difficulty in understanding why we need to be re baptised. I was glad that they have raised the issue of re baptism, because if they had not raised that issue then I would have thought that they were not reading the things that I sent, but it looks like they are so that is great. The problem that they and some of their congregation are having is very similar to what Joseph Smith and the early saints were going through and because of this very issue of re-baptism the Lord gave Joseph Smith a revelation and that is found in D&C section 22 in this section the Lord outlines why he has asked people to be re-baptised it says:-

Behold, I say unto you that all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant, even that which was from the beginning.
2Wherefore, although a man should be baptized an hundred times it availeth him nothing, for you cannot enter in at the strait gate by the law of Moses, neither by your dead works.
3 For it is because of your dead works that I have caused this last covenant and this church to be built up unto me, even as in days of old.
4Wherefore, enter ye in at the gate, as I have commanded, and seek not to counsel your God. Amen.

You see, it is not that God is saying that you must be re-baptized just to join a new religion or to join a club, but rather to join and seal yourself to a new covenant or promise that he, the Lord has instituted not man. Baptism is not just for the remission of sins, although this is a big part of baptism, but it is a promise a covenant that we make with God that we have entered in to this new promise with him, it becomes a very personal thing rather than a blanket thing were it is just for the remission of sins, it is a living hopeful new law or covenant that the Lord has given unto us. I believe that Joseph Smith was and still is a Prophet of God. I believe that the Lord spoke to him and that what is written in the 1835 D&C are the words of God unto him and if this is the case then I believe that what is written in there is from the Lord.

I do hope that although this may seem like a big issue that you will be prayerful over it and that you will not let this be a stumbling block for yourselves and others in joining us with so that we can accomplish all that the Lord has in store for his people. Zion will be redeemed the Lord will have his people united, Zion will be born again and stand as a banner to the world. I believe that things this important are worth fighting for, that God has revealed his truth in these last days and that we stand as his interments and that he has established the church again for the redemption of Zion. I do not believe for one minute that the Lord led you all to us for you let re-baptism be a deal breaker in any way, the Lord has established his law in the D&C and it says that this is necessary to enter in to his new covenant. The Lord is everything and he wants his people to be one, not just in action but in thought and spirit. He wants his people to be like unto Enoch and the City of Zion and for us to establish that Zion upon the earth and I believe that is worth the ask. I know thaw the Lord is with you and that he has brought you to us for a reason and that our paths have crossed for a far greater reason, the establishment of Zion his people upon the earth once more, don’t forget you live in the Promised Land and it is not a coincidence that you found us. I believe that we were brought together for that greater purpose of his church being established once again on the earth and for a people like your to help build Zion in the United States and to be united with his church.

God Bless you my friends. I hope to be able to meet you one day and to stand with you and to minister to you and for you all to be united in Zion with us so that we can go forth and quench the parched earth and make it flower again and make Zion stand as a banner once again.
“Remember straight is the way and narrow is the gate and few there be that find it”

It has been a while since the blog page has been updated and this has caused some people to wonder weather or not the church is still operating. Let me assure everyone that The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is still here! We have not ceased to operate and the wok continues and it continues with the blessing and love of the Saviour Jesus Christ.

The progress of the work is something that is going from strength to strength and is a work in progress. The church has never claimed to be a big multi conglomerate entity, in fact we have stressed on many occasions that we are here not to compete with those churches but to do the work of the Lord, a work that we are doing very well. The Book of Jeraneck has been received in many counties on many different continents and it has fulfilled the purpose for which it was given to us. We have done all that the Lord has commanded concerning the Book of Jeraneck and we have done it with very little resource. The Book of Jeraneck like many books of scripture is had for both good and bad, it had been received on the whole very well but like all good things there is opposition that still exists and that this fine. We have never stated that people can not have differing opinions on the book or even different opinions about the church; all we have asked is that we be given a chance to tell our side of the story before people listen to gossip or hearsay.
The work and our message is being greatly received at the moment in the United States were many people have contacted us with a view to joining the church and becoming active in our mission. The Lord is preparing that fertile ground so that one day a branch of Zion may be erected. This is pleasing to us as we know that the American continent is the Promised Land and that Zion shall be built upon that continent. To all those that live in the United States and have expressed a willingness to join the church please take the time to pray about your decision and to read the material that we send after this if you still wish to united with us then that can be accomplished.
All in all the Lord is working a mighty miracle at the moment and the past disappointments are well and truly behind us, as we march on to our final goal. To all those that have tasted the waters of baptism an have rejected the message I implore you to get back on to the straight and narrow path and hold firm to the iron rod, for only true and enduring happiness can be fund in the church of God and that is here. To all those Mormons of what ever denomination you belong who are felling unappreciated and underused, I say this, we have a work for you here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. There is much we can offer you and much we can add to what you already know to be true. Please contact us we standby ready to help and assist you.

Once again brothers and sisters, God bless all of you and please continue to read the blog and email the church, we are always happy to receive emails form people and to help those looking for the light. God Bless.

Requirements for Membership In

The Latter Day Church

of

Jesus Christ

We have been asked by a few people to give them a set of requirements for membership. I have therefore taken the decision in light of s few people asking that we post the requirements for people to join the church. Despite what some of you may have heard the church is still here we have not gone in to obscurity or fallen apart, although I'm sure some people would love us to. The purpose of this post and these requirements is not only to inform people about what they have to do to be joined with us but it is our way of letting you know that the church is in fact here and doing the Lords work. This week alone we have given out over ten Books of Jeraneck and have given out numerous amounts of reading material to those that are seeking the truth. The Lord has revealed again in our day his word and the work that he wants to be done. I know that there are many of you out there that have a testimony of Joseph Smith that have read the Book of Mormon and know it to be true, but you feel let down and not supported by the other Mormon faiths. I would encourage all those that are having these or similar difficulties to contact us. We are ready to add to your belief and love of the Prophet Joseph and the Book of Mormon. Please don’t suffer in silence come to us and we shall fulfil your testimony and give you renewed vigour and belief.
So here it is The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ’s requirements for membership.

D&C 20:37
And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism-

• All those who humble themselves before God
• And desire to be baptized
• And come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits
• And witness before the church that they have truly repented of ALL their sins
• And are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ
• Having a determination to serve him to the end,
• And truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins,
  SHALL be received by baptism into his church...

D&C 10:67-68

Behold, this is my doctrine--

• whosoever repenteth
• and cometh unto me,

The same is my church. Whosoever declareth more or less than this, the same is not of me, but is against me; therefore he is not of my church.

2 Nephi 31:13, 21

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye will

• follow the Son,
• with full purpose of heart,
• acting no hypocrisy
• and no deception before God,
• but with real intent,
• repenting of your sins,
• witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ by Baptism --
• Yea, by following your Lord and your Saviour down into the water, according to his word...

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost...

2 Nephi 32:5

For Behold, again I say unto you that if ye will

• enter in by the way,
• and receive the Holy Ghost,

It will show unto you all things what ye should do. Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh.

3 Nephi 11

Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another, but this is my doctrine that such things should be done away... And this is my doctrine... that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere,

• To repent
• And believe in me...
• And be baptized in my name,
• And become as a little child...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that is my doctrine... And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil...

Mosiah 23
... It is not expedient that we should have a king; for thus saith the Lord; Ye shall not esteem one flesh above another, or one man shall not think himself above another... Remember the iniquity of King Noah and his priests... ye have been oppressed by King Noah, and have been in bondage to him and his priests, and have been brought into iniquity by them... I desire that ye should stand fast in the liberty wherewith ye have been made free, and that ye trust no man to be king over you. And also trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister...

Alma 1
And when the priests left their labour to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labours to hear the word of God. And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God they all returned again diligently unto their labours; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was not better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner; and thus they were all equal...

The church has gone through a very trying couple of weeks with deception and treachery being the order of the day. I want to assure all those that have remained faithful that the Lord is with us that he will not allow the work that has been done over the last four years to be brought to nought, Those that have acted in the way they have know that they will be held accountable for their actions by a judge higher than this earth, We are not the only people to have ever been hurt our founders suffered, Brother Joseph suffered but he endured and that’s what makes us strong. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is still here and is still standing despite the best efforts of those that came here to do us harm. We may not have the trappings of the big churches, the fine buildings the temples we may not have what The LDS of the CofC or the born agains have but we have the truth and that counts for a lot more.

People all over the world are hearing about us are reading the book of Jeraneck and are liking what they are reading and finding out, we are here for them, for the ones that want to genuinely know more we are here for the ones that have really prayed to receive and answer to their prayers. May God bless all those that want to do us harm may he have his spirit to stir your soul to forgiveness for what you have done or what you are thinking of doing.
God bless all the faithful that have clung to the truth and have tasted the fruit and held true to the rod…..To paraphrase a wonderful quote by the prophet Joseph Smith "Notwithstanding our enemies were continually breathing threats of violence, we do not fear, neither do we hesitate to prosecute our journey, for God is with us, and His angels are before us, and the faith of our little band is unwavering. We know that angels are our companions, for we have seen them"

God bless you all Amen

Hi folks we hope that you have all had a great week and that the lord has blessed you in some way. A lot has happed over the last week or so. We had the pleasure of having our first Joseph Smith memorial meeting on Sunday and we had the pleasure of hearing from our newest convert Elder Kyle Alverson who spoke about the Prophet Joseph with real spirit and conviction. We also had the pleasure of hearing form the modern day Prophet Matthew Gill and he also spoke about his personal relationship with Joseph Smith; all in all it was a great meeting.
In the way of news for everyone we have set up a blog site for our chesterfield contingent and the link to that can be found on our main site. Elder Smith has moved over to chesterfield to help and support the new members there and the church is going form strength to strength. Of course we are still looking for new members all the time so if you feel that you are missing something in your life and that it seems that there must be more to this existence than what there is, or you have a testimony of the Prophet Joseph smith and the book of Mormon but are not being fulfilled in your existing church then get in touch with us we have a lot to offer and truths that will fulfil your life.
Alos we have a new video in production at the momnet about the life of the Prophet Jospeh Smith and we also have a new video for the blog that we hopefully be put on next week, so keep and eye out for that.
God bless to all our friends all over the world, we look forward to seeing you soon.

On the 15th of June 2008 Kyle & Andrew Alverson were baptised as members of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. This is a chance for all our viewers and readers to watch the event as it happened that Sunday morning. We would like to thank everyone for the help they gave that day and for making it such a wonderful event for Kyle & Andrew.
We wish Kyle & Andrew all the best in their church life and we hope that the Lord will keep and uphold them.

Baptism of Kyle & Andrew Alverson

It is with great pleasure that I the Leader and Prophet of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ have the opportunity to write this week’s blog. The past week has been one that has lifted my resolve and my spirits, I have seen the Lord work his might miracle and I have seen him do wondrous things to the hearts of men who are willing to open their hearts to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. I would like to take the time to publicly thank our Friends in Australia for their love and their support, we really do appreciate your emails they lift my spirits and its good to know that we have friends, thank you once again. On Friday just gone myself and a few of the priesthood of the church were able to spend a wonderful time together with friends reading talking and studying the gospel, we were blessed with a revelation from the Lord during our studies and time together and that in itself was a glorious thing to behold.
However the world never lets the work of the Lord go on without people wanting to bring it down or who wish to drag through the dirt the name of the Prophet Joseph Smith and that glorious work the Book of Mormon. I had the displeasure of seeing the video on youtube by Shazoloo and I have to say that I am very disappointed that he chose to attack the Book of Mormon with such venom. Although I respect him for his views and I respect him for his love of the Saviour, it seems to me that lately he has found any possible reason to attack the Book of Mormon and therefore the Prophet Joseph Smith. The arguments that he puts forward to destroy the Book of Mormon as a book of scripture and a book of God although eloquent in their tone are nothing more than what I expect from a born again Christian. The Book of Mormon does in many ways contradict the Bible but this is only because the Bible although a record and a collection of the teachings of the Jews and the early Christians is not infallible. It has many errors in it due to the fact that it has been through so many people’s hands and it has been used by men who would have the Bible used for their own edification or for their own wicked designs. However I understand that the Bible is the word of God, but this can only be truly trusted as far as it is translated correctly.
The argument that I have just put forth for the Bible can be said of the Book of Mormon, if you know its history. The Book of Mormon was first published in 1830 and since the death of the prophet Joseph Smith it has gone through revision after revision and change after change. For example the Community of Christ have a version that is totally in new English and it has been watered down so much that it has nothing resembling the original about it. The LDS church has revised their edition so many times and they have even taken and altered bits form the original. However the difference between the Bible and the Book of Mormon is that we have an original edition of the Book of Mormon. The manuscript is still available for people to see; indeed you can buy a replica of the original copy with the same text and print as was found in the edition that The Prophet Joseph Smith had printed at the E.B. Grandin bookstore in Palmyra, New York. As you may be aware no one can get a copy of the original manuscripts of the Bible as many people wrote them and many of them have never been seen since the person who wrote them finished them.
I have posted a video response to the video on you tube and I hope that who ever view's this blog will enjoy it and find it informative. I hope that Shazzolo comes back to us and that we can have a healthy sensible debate on many of the issues that he raises and let it be a discussion that is done with respect and with Christ like attitudes, because that is what should be done when talking about the Gospel of Christ. However I would say to him that maybe he is being led astray by not reading and praying about the book of Mormon or even the Book of Jeraneck, may be it’s him that needs to be more influence by the spirit of Christ and not the other way around.
God Bless.

Should We Pray About The Book of Mormon? YES!!

It has been a long gap since we posted the Spring GA videos but we have had a lot happen in that short space of time. The work is going forward and we are having lots of feed back form the Spring GA witch is great. We have had the opportunity to get Apostle Elder David Smith to answer some questions that were emailed to us the video for that is found below. We have also updated the GA with the remaining minutes of the Assembly for you all to see. We would also like to thank everyone for their positive comments made on the email and on you tube. May we also take the time to thank all those that leave negative comments as well, because the more we have of those the more we know that this work is what the lord wills, we welcome all forms of communication but if you have nothing constructive to add then please refrain form leaving comment as this takes up the time form people who leave constructive comments or criticism.

Another week has gone by and it has been a wonderful week for the church with the baptism of Michael Clarke. For this weeks blog we have added the video of the baptism for you all to see. God Bless.

Firstly we would like to thank all those that have been emailing us and sending questions to be raised on the video presentations, we thank you for your continued support and your help, God bless you.
Well it has been one of the most exciting weeks that the church has had for a long time. On Sunday just gone we had and investigator meet with us and after our services and a meeting with the prophet he has decided to be baptised. Michael our investigator is a wonderful person who will bring a lot to the church. He has a spirit that shouts out with the love of the Lord, I’m sure that Michael will be a wonderful member and brother, we look forward to working and worshipping with him. Michael’s baptism will take place on Sunday the 27th of April and of course it promises to be a wonderful event.
The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ also has its first General Assembly of the year coming up on the 4th of May. The General Assembly which is the first one of the year always promises to be a wonderful event which sets out the year’s goals and aspirations for the year. If you wish to come to the general assembly then please call in advance for the start time.
This week we will not be having a video presentation that will continue next week however we would like to share with you a wonderful poem written by the Prophet Jospeh Smith-

This poem was published in the Church's official paper, the Times and Seasons on February 1, 1843. In this poem it tells of a vision that Joseph had had, Joseph had beheld a heavenly vision in which he was shown the condition of those individuals who inherit Celestial Glory. He tells of having been given the knowledge that they who attain Celestial Glory will be "equal in power, dominion and might, with a fullness of glory and grace, round Heavenly Father's throne."
Not only was Joseph’s vision and poem made available to the Church members in America, but it was also published in Liverpool, England, in the Church's paper, The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star for August 1843, it was also printed in New York City in the New York Herald.

Joseph's Poem in Its Entirety
I will go, I will go, to the home of the Saints Celestial Glory,Where the virtue's the value, and life the reward;But before I return to my former estateI must fulfil the mission I had from the Lord....
I, Joseph, the prophet, in spirit beheld,And the eyes of the inner man truly did seeEternity sketch'd in a vision from God,Of what was, and now is, and yet is to be....
For while in the act of translating his word [producing the Inspired Version],Which the Lord in his grace had appointed to me,I came to the gospel recorded by John,Chapter fifth and the twenty ninth verse, which you'll see.
Which was given as follows:"Speaking of the resurrection of the dead,—"Concerning those who shall hear the voice of "the son of man—"And shall come forth:—"They who have done good in the resurrection "of the just."And they who have done evil in the resurrection "of the unjust."
I marvel'd at these resurrections, indeed!For it came unto me by the spirit direct:—And while I did meditate what it all meant, The Lord touched the eyes of my own intellect....
I beheld the celestial, in glory sublime; Which is the most excellent kingdom that is,—Where God, e'en the Father, in harmony reigns; Almighty, supreme, and eternal, in bliss.
Where the church of the first born in union reside,And they see as they're seen, and they know as they're known;Being equal in power, dominion and might,With a fullness of glory and grace, round his throne.
(Times and Seasons 4 February 1, 1843 also The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star 4 August 1843 and the New York Herald March 8, 1843)

God Bless you all for your continued viewing of the blog. we are sorry fpr any problems the last artical may have casued but we hope that this peopm makes up for what was a clerical oversight.

Hello and welcome once again to this weeks blog. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is working toward a lot of goals at the moment and the work that we are about is progressing nicely. We have had a lot of emails and lot of people viewing last week’s video by Elder Philip Gill. This week Elder Gill is doing a video presentation with regards to Zion’s camp. Elder Phil Gill a presiding officer in The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ makes a fresh appeal for funds for the establishment of Zion’s Camp and also talks about the topic of responsible husbandry of the earth.

We have had a magnificent week with people coming forward and contacting us with regards to joining the church. We are going to be having an investigator come and meet with us on the 13th of April and hopefully God willing he will feel the Spirit and join the church. We are just so overjoyed that someone has heard the message and they have felt the Spirit and they have felt that Matthew Gill our Prophet is called of God. Once again we call on all those that are in the LDS (Utah) Church and the other Mormon and Christan denominations that feel that they have been ignored or feel disenfranchised and feel that they have lost that personal connection with the Saviour Jesus Christ to come and talk to us and join with us, we have a lot to offer and we can give you back that personal relationship with Christ. It is great and overwhelming to know that the work that the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr started is finally being continued and is being appreciated, and that it is being done here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ.

We hope that Elder Philip Gill appeals for money for Zion’s Camp do not go unheard and that you donate. If you desire to donate please go to paypal and donate tan amount that you feel is appropriate. Please donate it to latterdaychurchofchrist2006@yahoo.co.uk marking it for the attention of Zion’s Camp fund.

God bless you all and have a wonderful week. Next week Apostle David Smith will be making a video presentation, please look out for that.
An Appeal for Funds for Zions Camp

We hope you have had a great Easter and that you were able to spend some of that time reflecting on the saviour and turning your thoughts to what Easter is all about. The ester and Passover celebrations here we very good and we had a wonderful Sunday sacrament meeting where all the talks were based on the Easter story and the saviour’s atonement.

As promised Elder Phil Gill was able to do a video and we have pasted here along with this weeks blog. It is the first time that someone other than the Prophet has done a video so we hope that there will be questions sent to the email, and that it will generate some interest. The church is progressing very well and the wok is getting done the message is being spread and people are becoming engaged. Wonderful things are happening with revelation being given on a daily basis. The Apostle David Smith was given a dream from the Lord last week and the Prophet had a fulfilment of a revelation this week, so the Lord is working his mighty miracle and everything is coming together just as the Lord promises it will. We hope you enjoy the new video presentation given by Elder Phil Gill. God bless you throughout this week.

A Personal testimony From Elder Philip Gill

Hello every one, we hope that the last week has been good to you and that you have been blessed by the Lord. Well it is that time of year again when we celebrate the death and resurrection of the Saviour Jesus Christ. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ hold's this time of year in great reverence and we believe that it is a very special time of year when the Lord gave us a wonderful blessing and gave us the chance to have our sins forgiven and to triumph over death. We would like to remind everyone what this time of year is all about, it’s not about the Eggs and the Easter Bunny but about the Saviour and his life and work. Have a great Easter and Passover holiday bearing in mind what this time of year is all about, please remember to keep it reverent and give some time during this busy holiday to remembering the Saviour and the great gift that he gave at this time.

We hope that you are enjoying the video presentations and that you feel that you are gaining something form watching them. This week’s video is a return to the normal run of the mill topics that we started on. However we would still love to hear form you, if you have nay questions or comments that you feel that you would like to make then please contact us and we will pass it on to get attention on the video presentations. We are hoping to get other members to talk about there experiences and their testimonies on the videos and that should start form next week, Our fist One should be done by Elder Philip Gill, so if all goes well that will be a nice change.

Once again we are calling on all those people and you may be one of them , that feel lost in the other Mormon churches or in any Christen faiths to come and talk to us we have a great deal to offer and we know that we can fulfil your life and fill those gaps that you have been experiencing.

Beliefs Part Two

Hello and welcome once again to the official blog site for The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. To the right you will see one of the first batch of pictures that has been done for the children's Book of Jeraneck by the Artist lettmann, I'm sure you will all agree that it is exceptional work that she is doing for us. Well as i said another week and another video presentation. We have been inundated with questions over the last week and the Prophet has chosen a just a few of those questions to answer on the video presentation, we hope that the answers that have been given have been done in a way that is easy to understand. The Prophet of the church has dealt with some issues on this week video blog that we believe needed answering and getting out in to the wider world.

We hope that you continue to send in your questions and as the Prophet has said in his video presentation that if you feel that there is something missing in your life, a void that never seems to be filled, that you will come and join with us in worshiping the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. To those of you that are among the LDS(Utah) faith that feel that they have been disenfranchised or who feel that there needs are not being met will come to us so that we can add to your belief and fulfil your needs, the gospel of the Saviour Jesus Christ is here and it is alive today in The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. God bless you all and have great weekend

Q&A On The Word of Wisdom part one


Q&A On The Word of Wisdom Part Two

Well another week has gone by and the church continues to go from strength to strength. We have had a lot of people emailing us over the last couple of weeks leaving questions and enquiring about the church and what we are doing and what we believe in. The Prophet has taken a few of those questions and he has done a video post in order to answer some of them in person, that video address can be found here on the blog site and also on youtube as well.

The church has also commissioned Doris Lettmann to do some more Art work to go in to the children’s version of the Book of Jeraneck. So far the work that she has done has been wonderful and it looks as if the pictures are really going to catch the children’s eye, she is a wonderful artist and we thank her for her continued work that she is doing.

Zion’s Camp is hopefully going to become a reality this year with the church planning to purchase some land. If any one is interested they can email us about Zion’s Camp, if you are interested in coming and living at Zion’s Camp then please contact us and we will talk you through what you need to do. We are also still asking for donations to be made to the church for its continued missionary programme and its foundation of Zion’s Camp, please give what you can to the church, your seed will be planted and the harvest will be great.

So we hope that you enjoy the video’s, please keep your comments and emails coming. God Bless and have a great week.
Questions & Answers Part One


Questions & Answers Part Two

Once again we have another video blog. This week has been very unique in as much as we have had two video posts. Today’s video post is in direct response to a video that was posted on youtube called: - A Curious Dilemma for Mormons: The Book of Jeraneck. Although the video was very good and did not portray the church in a savoury light there were some things that the Prophet needed to clear up hence the video response. We have not only put them on youtube but also on the blog so that those who keep updated with the blog will be able to watch them here. If you would like to know more or are interested in joining the church or if you have any questions that you wish to ask then please email your requests to us and we will try our best to answer them in double quick time.

God bless you all and have a great weekend.

It seems that the greater the work the greater the persecution is. This week we have had our share of both good and very bad responses to our video presentations both here on the blog and on youtube. Let me first start by thanking our friends all over the world for their support and their help it is very much appreciated and we welcome your help and your friendship, God Bless you.
As for our persecutors and those who wish us ill we pray for you and we hope that your hearts may be softened and that you will learn to show more Christ like attributes in your life and also that you might read a little more in to your articles of faith in particular number eleven which says, "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may".... Many of our persecutors are once again form the LDS church in Utah, it would seem that they have once again chosen to forget that their own church allows people the right to worship how were and what they may…. We do not know why but they seem to have a problem with any other religious group other than their own. We understand that you may not like what we are doing but then again we don’t like what you are doing but we don’t offend the leaders of your church every week with hate mail. It would seem that although they claim to be lovers of the saviour and the gospel that they are in truth further away form it than they would like to admit. Moving on, this week has been wonderful. We have had many people enquiring about the church and enquiring about baptism. The Lord is truly blessing his little flock at this moment in time.
This weeks the video presentation is on Zion’s Camp. Please enjoy the presentation and please keep your email coming. Have great week, God Bless.
