The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are now using Instagram to share the light of Jesus Christ with millions around the world.
About our Church leaders' decision to add Instagram to their social channels, Church spokeswoman Irene Caso told LDS Living:
“Church leaders’ use of Instagram and other social media platforms demonstrates their desire to reach and minister to people all over the world, especially the rising generation. Through these channels they can share personal experiences that have taught them more about the principles of the gospel and communicate in a more direct way with their audience.”
Elder D. Todd Christofferson adds, “We have been tremendously blessed in recent years to reach people around the globe with messages that promote faith in Jesus Christ in ways that simply were not possible when I was a young man—or even a young father. These advancements in communication are a blessing. We expect to continue to utilize digital channels—such as Instagram—that best help us in our desire to share the Savior’s message of hope, love, and peace."
