This is NOT an official Church website.  This website was developed and is  maintained by Diana Fordham (difordham@aol.com)  who is a member of the  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Bella Vista, Arkansas Ward.

The Stake Challenge:
Get personally involved in your Family's History and become
"Blessed, Protected, and Linked with Love"  to your ancestors.

Why Temple Work? In order to return to our Heavenly Father and live forever with our families, we must be baptized and confirmed, receive the ordinances of the temple, and be sealed together forever as families.


Picture
Our ancestors who didn’t have the chance to learn the gospel of Jesus Christ during their mortal lives are taught the gospel in the spirit world. Those who have accepted the gospel may receive those ordinances through us when we go to the temple.
Performing these ordinances for our family members is a way to bind us to our ancestors and share in their joy.
How to Get StartedFamily history work consists of three basic steps:
  1. We identify our ancestors.
  2. We find out which ancestors need temple ordinances performed.
  3. We make certain that the ordinances are performed for them.

The youth  of the Bentonville Arkansas Stake are invited to participate in the 18 week Family History   "Bless, Protected and Linked with Love" Challenge.

The mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of  Latter-day Saints is to :
-Proclaim the Gospel
-Perfect the Saints
-Redeem the dead

We have been asked by the LORD to prepare family names to take to the Temple.  This Challenge has been devised to help us fulfill that  request.

GOAL:  Prepare as many names for the temple as baptisms you preform in the temple and help someone else do the same.

If you choose to accept  this challenge, you will be prepared to submit the name of one (or more) of your  ancestors to have their Temple work done  for  them.
