What Can We Learn From Abish’s Member-missionary Work? (Knowhy

“Thus, having been converted to the Lord ... therefore, when she saw that all the servants of Lamoni had fallen to the earth, and also her mistress, the queen, and the king, and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth, she knew that it was the power of God; and supposing that this opportunity, by making known unto the people what had happened among them, that by beholding this scene it would cause them to believe in the power of God, therefore she ran forth from house to house, making it known unto the people.”
Alma 19:17
Often, when we think of missionary work in the Book of Mormon, we think of missionaries like Alma or Ammon.1 These were people who went off to do full-time missionary work.2 However, one of the most important missionaries in the Book of Mormon was a “member missionary” who took advantage of a prime opportunity to share the gospel with her neighbors. Her name was Abish.
