preach my gospel app

Just received info on the new preach my gosple manual and in that it refers to an app.
I have a few asking if this is only accessable to missionaries as their church user name and passward
does not give them access.

Thanks for anyones help

The message is referencing a new version of the Preach My Gospel titled Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Sharing the Gospel section of the Gospel Library app. The old Preach My Gospel has a "Previous Edition" banner across it. Anyone with a Church Account (both member and nonmember accounts) should find the new manual after a sync. A forced sync can be done by pulling down on a library page.

The new manual is also found online at the Church website Gospel Library page (Libraries > Gospel Library > Sharing the Gospel section). No sign-in on the website is necessary to find the manual.

Yes I was able to find all that and able to access from the library app. There is also a "preach my gospel" app in the app store that we have downloaded but unable to access.
This is separate that the manuals in the library app.
Thanks for your help

The app you found in the app store is for missionaries only.

Perfect thanks

I am mission technology specialist but as a senior missionary I do not have access to some items such as ABP.

Will this new App be available in Google PlayStore for missionaries’ Android phones?

And for me on my Apple devices?

Thank you.

I downloaded it from Google stores on my android but never did get access. Thus I'm not a full time missionary

The Area Book Planner app was renamed to Preach My Gospel – it's the same app with the same Android package name behind the scenes. So it should work for any missionaries who were able to use the Area Book Planner app.

On iOS, the Preach My Gospel app was previously called "Area Book for Mission Leaders." I'm not sure who was able to use it – it may have just been for mission presidents.

Thank you everyone for guidance.

I have been trying for over a week to get access to the Preach my Gospel App in order to access the “area book” information as a full time senior missionary. After multiple emails and several calls both of myself and my Mission President to the global help desk I was sent the response that the Preach My Gospel App does not work on Apple devices. Is there a timeframe as to when it will? If it is not planned what is the solution to give those with an Apple device the necessary tools to access members that are being taught and see who is not being visited? Is the only solution to buy an Android device? I would really like to be able to have. The tools to do the work so if this is the only option we will buy one. Thanks!

FYI, the Tech Forum is composed of mostly regular members like yourself. The Church is (in)famous for not disclosing functionality plans or timelines, and often when they do those plans are subsequently delayed without information shared to us members. If you're lucky someone on the Forum might be aware of details about your question, just want to make sure you understand that since this Forum isn't official church support, we generally don't have answers that posters are seeking about development plans or timelines.

Currently, the only solution for senior missionaries using the PMG app is to purchase an Android device. We're sorry it isn't available on Apply for senior missionaries. For your information, the iOS (or Apple) version of the PMG app is only accessible to mission presidents and companions at this time. This may change with time but the development and timeline are still being evaluated. To help senior missionaries determine what mobile device to bring on their mission, including whether they will be using the Preach My Gospel (formerly Area Book Planner) app, senior missionaries are pointed to this resource as part of their call experience:

If the IOS version is available to Mission Leaders, why not Senior Missionaries fulfilling MTS and Referral positions? I find it difficult (read almost impossible) to guide young missionaries in the use of ABP/PMG as I do not know it’s functionality or menus. It’s just what I glean from observing their use or reading KB articles. It’s hard!

I am assigned a unit and teaching area, but even with ABP selected in my teaching area, I still cannot access anything.

I can appreciate the difficulty of what you are describing and will pass that feedback along as well. At this time, the best option for you to train missionaries on ABP (PMG app) is to either purchase or borrow an Android device from the mission office. Your login will work on the android version of the app.

I should also clarify, the version of PMG app for mission leaders has limited functionality. It provides a directory and mission-wide key indicator insights. It lacks the functionality that a senior missionary couple would need such as full person records, weekly planning, and mapping.

We are full time senior missionaries. I downloaded the app on an android but i don't know any sign-in information. I tried my regular church account but it says I don't have access.
Any informatikn on who has to give us access? Our mission leaders don't know.

Hi Sister Alexander,

I looked up your teaching area in Portal. Currently, it is not enabled for Area Book Planner (previous name of Preach My Gospel app). Your mission office can enable your teaching area for Area Book Planner and then the Preach My Gospel app will work for you using your church login. They can do this on the Teaching Area section of Portal. In the same place, they can mark whether your teaching area should receive referrals or report key indicators.

Your mission office can refer to this help article on editing the teaching area settings: https://servicenow.churchofjesuschrist. ... =KB0082322

A missionary that I am serving with is having problems with the events timeline on her friends records in the Preach my Gospel App. When she pulls it up it won't show all of the previous reported contacts and lessons even some that she personally reported on. Is there anyway to fix this?

My advice the tools you’ve been instructed to use for your mission call. What have senior missionaries been told to use? Could you coordinate with the younger missionaries who do have the app, or ward/branch mission leader?
