The Church uses many BYU programs for its PR/Missionary effort. I remember the Young Ambos coming to Japan. The word went out through the wards to attend the performances and bring non-member friends. Church members were even enlisted to feed them sunday dinner. The same thing happened when another BYU performing group came to France. How many groups have we sent to China?
I remember the BYU football team coming to Japan when I was a missionary. The Church used that as well. This isn't rocket science.

Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!! Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith. |
