This year, the April General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints falls on Easter weekend. In preparation for this event, the Church has initiated a campaign titled “Starting Today” which invites individuals to follow Jesus Christ.
To share this message with the peoples of the Pacific, billboards in Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand have been engaged.
