Introduction

Welcome to Please Open the Door

A Course to Help You Share Jesus with LDS Missionaries

What do you do when your doorbell rings and you realize it’s the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
Do you…

a) Turn off the lights and hide behind the couch, hoping they’ll go away?
b) Open the door, tell them you already have Jesus, and quickly shut it again?
c) Greet them warmly and invite them in for a conversation?

For many Christians, that moment feels overwhelming. You might wonder:
“What do I say?”
“What if they ask a question I can’t answer?”
“Am I really the right person for this?”

You’re not alone. But what if that knock at the door isn’t something to dread, but an incredible opportunity?

Right now, the Mormon church is sending out tens of thousands of missionaries across the globe. These young people are often deeply committed and sincere. But they’re also young and still forming their beliefs. For many, your home might be the first place they truly hear the gospel of grace.

That’s a sacred moment.

This course is designed to help you open the door, not just physically, but spiritually. You’ll learn how to have grace-filled, gospel-centered conversations with missionaries that focus on Jesus, the Bible, and eternal life.

We’ll walk with you step by step:

• How to speak the truth without being confrontational

• How to ask powerful, thought-provoking questions

• How to navigate LDS beliefs with clarity and kindness

• And how to share your confidence in Christ with peace and love

Whether you’re just curious or ready to welcome missionaries in today, Please Open the Door will equip you for this moment. By the end of the course, you’ll no longer fear that knock. You’ll look forward to it!
