Join Casey as he travels to England to uncover the miraculous stories of the first missionaries and converts of the Church in the actual places these events occurred. Learn about the visions, healings, spiritual encounters and rapid growth. In this special episode in England, Casey meets with local experts that share insights about the Church and its growth in the early days of the gospel coming to the United Kingdom. You’ll see how a handful of American missionaries sparked a wave of conversions (dozens in the first weeks, growing to roughly 1,850 members by 1840) and how over the 19th century more than 50,000 British converts emigrated to join the main body of the Church — a migration that deeply shaped early Utah and worldwide Church growth. ____________________________________________ *The opinions expressed may represent the views of the individual creators or guests alone, and do not necessarily represent official positions of Scripture Central or of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. *This channel may make use of copyrighted material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
