To get started, quote D&C 38:30 which says, “…if ye are
prepared, ye shall not fear.”
Read the following instructions:
“We are going to play Faith Factor tonight and for those of
you who are “prepared” by having some gospel knowledge and knowing how to use
the scriptures to look for information, “ye shall not fear”. But for those of you lacking and slacking in
spiritual preparation, ye might have a little fear tonight.
“You have been divided into teams. Each team has an official spokesperson. I will ask a question - - you may discuss the
answer among yourselves and as soon as you have an answer send your spokesman
up to ring this bell and answer. The
first team to correctly answer the question receives 10 points. The other teams will then have to compete
in a challenge. I will read the
challenge and they will quickly send forward the people who will
participate. Some challenges require one
person, some more than one person. Your
team may send who they choose, but everyone on the team should participate in
at least one challenge at some point.
Don’t keep sending the same person time after time. The team who wins the challenge is awarded five
points and the team who loses the challenge gets 0 points.”
