Mckay Around the World: an Apostolic Mission: Prelude to Church Globalization","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo devoted servants on the Lords errand. One historic mission that changed the world. Many years before he became the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  David O. McKay  spread the gospel on an extraordinary mission around the world. This mission broadened the horizons of the Church  and provided unforgettable spiritual experiences for the future prophet. In 1920  Elder McKay was called by President Heber J. Grant to visit the Orient  the Pacific  Asia  and the Armenian Saints in Syria. President Grant selected Hugh J. Cannon  a son of George Q. Cannon and the Liberty Stake President  to accompany him. Over the course of a year  from December 4  1920 to December 23  1921  they sought out Church members in remote areas  and they had numerous spiritual experiences that demonstrated the hand of the Lord in their efforts. Their many accomplishments included:  The dedication of the land of China by Elder McKay for the preaching of the gospel  A powerful visit to the land of Palestine where the Savior once walked  An excursion to Egypt and the Great Pyramids  Perilous journeys to Pacific islands where mighty miracles were performed  Inspiring meetings with missionaries throughout Europe Following their return to the United States  Elder McKay asked President Cannon to write down these experiences  which he did. A serialized travelogue of their journey was soon published in the Deseret News  but very few of the spiritual events were included. The completed handwritten manuscript was later submitted for publication  but unfortunately the publisher misplaced it  and it was not found for many years. President McKay himself hoped for the day the manuscript would be found  so that these memorable experiences could reach the young people of the Church  that their faith too might be increased. Now  more than eighty years later  the details of that historic journey have finally come forth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45274535821365,"sku":"ByrdShop_1932898468","price":64.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781932898460.jpg?v=1780496557","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/david-o-mckay-around-the-world-an-apostolic-mission-prelude-to-church-globalization-9781932898460","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
