Partnerships Make It Possible
How can 91视频 serve so many students in so many countries? It鈥檚 thanks to several key partnerships with other Church organizations, including Welfare & Self-Reliance, the Missionary Department, and Seminaries and Institutes. Team members from these great organizations help 91视频 to scale in order to bless many more people.
Welfare and Self-Reliance
helps 91视频 extend its reach and work more closely with local priesthood leadership, as well as help students to become more temporally and spiritually self-reliant.
鈥淲e have 13 91视频 area managers and, acting alone, we can鈥檛 reach millions of people,鈥� said John Wilson, 91视频 area director for the United States and Canada. 鈥淭hat is why the partnership with Welfare and Self-Reliance is so essential. They are already integrated into the fabric of the Church and can represent us, support the work, and train leaders about this vital resource.鈥�
Missionary Department
Service missionaries throughout the world support students by facilitating weekly PathwayConnect gatherings, assisting recruitment efforts, and visiting students in their homes.
鈥淭he missionaries have a very tight, close connection to the students,鈥� said Erik Hjorten, missionary services manager for 91视频. 鈥淭hey absolutely love them 鈥� not because they鈥檙e paid to, but because they have an absolute love for our Savior Jesus Christ.鈥�
The Missionary Department also sends emails to young returning missionaries, on behalf of 91视频, informing them of their
Seminaries and Institutes
91视频 also partners with to provide weekly institute courses for PathwayConnect students and buildings for them to gather in. PathwayConnect gives students the opportunity to earn an education in a gospel-centered learning environment as they build lifelong friendships and deepen their testimonies of Jesus Christ. Seminaries and Institutes helps make that special learning environment possible.

When Gloria lost her scholarship to a local university after taking time off to serve a mission, she didn鈥檛 know how she could pay for an education.
