With the rise in full-time missionary applications and the creation of more missions worldwide, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has produced a video offering prospective missionaries and their families an inside look at how missionaries are trained.
The 21-minute video, titled “What It’s Really Like at the Missionary Training Center,” was filmed at the Provo Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, last November, said Ben Taylor, a product manager for the Church’s Communications Department who worked on the video.
“We wanted to make YouTube content that was engaging and interesting to members and friends, showing them things they haven’t seen before,” he said. “Missionaries are such a visible part of the Church, we thought taking folks inside the MTC to show them the process of training to be a missionary would be an eye-opening and enlightening experience.”
The video is hosted by Danor Gerald, an actor and Latter-day Saint convert, who guides viewers through the MTC experience, conducting short, fun, and heartfelt interviews with missionaries. It was released on YouTube on May 17.
