I love that my church blesses those not of our faith as well as within our faith. What a cool way to serve others!

[@jmfuture6143]

Regardless of different religious beliefs, this is the right way to help light the world! With so many negative things going on between people worldwide including contention etc., this is the way! We can all work to be a light on the hill and be the change you want to see in this world! Now is the time!

[@Austar7]

Amen!

So inspiring! I'm going to help my two teenage boys save up some money and we're going to swing by one of our local giving machines to help Light the World this Christmas season.

Awesome. I remember years ago some really good commercials on tv by the Church of Latter Day Saints. One about taking what could be a negative situation (stalled car), not getting angry or blaming, and turning it into a laugh. Excellent work by this church.❤❤❤

[@tynielsen]

This is so beautiful; the way that people stopped what they were doing and took it all in. I’ve been to Times Square once and the fact that they got that bug and loud of a place so quiet and reverent is truly remarkable. I love seeing the people in this video so happy. ♥️♥️♥️🎄

[@ClintK.]

Incredible. Rays of Zion shinning forth. I can't wait for the New Jerusalem to be fully restored with our King!

Absolutely beautiful and pure. This only shows that goodness still exits! People coming together as one. Wonderful!

That was something! Had tears in my eyes by the end. All those people just stopped and watched. As one, must have felt the same feelings.

This is incredible! Love seeing more opportunities for people to help others around the world.

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Truly fantastic! A couple years ago the machines came to my local temple. It was such a joy to be able to serve others in a meaningful way - something long term that helps families be self sufficient. I hope the machines can come back to my local temple again 🧡

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

It's profoundly inspiring to witness the launch of the 2023 global Light the World Giving Machines campaign. These efforts to spread Christ's light and love through meaningful actions, such as unveiling Giving Machines in Times Square and sharing Christmas messages on digital displays, exemplify a commitment to making a positive and transformative difference in the world. The initiative serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging everyone to embrace the spirit of generosity and kindness during the holiday season and beyond.

There are so many ways to give. Mercy ships do wonders.

[@esetaMotuga1971]

[@mariettagolez8804]

Christmas is a time to remember that we all children of the Father in Heaven, who gave his Only Son that all would be redeemed from death, and who has offered the blessings of Salvatioñ and Exaltation to all mankind on the same condition. The coming of the wise men teaches us that men of all times and places must be ready to follow God's call to find Christ. Jesus and Mary welcomed welcome the wise men. Whose faith enabled them to recognize Jesus and to adore Him as a Savior. At Nasareth, Jesus gave us an example of obedience.He was very much like your own Child, in interest and feelings.He identified Himself with us and our human problems and tasks.From Him we learn how to grow as a children of God.Jesus is the light and life of the World.

Did someone record the video display message? I would love to see it!

[@cortpeterson8772]

I think light the world needs to release the video that was played at time square please do or at least someone tell me where I can get it

[@JaredCannon]

I love the message and content- the VO is extremely distracting from the msg- it would have been better to show the live video of when the video started in Times Square (one of the most chaotic places on Earth) and a peaceful calm came over the entire crowd as they marveled at the video/msg

[@1conchale2vertale]

I LOVE this!!! But is there any way to participate when there are no Giving Machines near us?

[@teresasalisbury4748]

Lots of great ways to give. Mercy ships do wonders

Hi. The video will be used during our live stream service at Sunday, it's for people that cannot attend in person. Is that OK? Thanks @@churchnewsroom

[@dfausti66]

While I am grateful for the work of the Church to bring light to others by giving of our resources to bless the lives of others, I am concerned about the broadcast of how the Church is blessing others and then broadcasting it to the world as if to say, "look at us" based on Matthew 6:1-4: "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly." I just wonder if there is a better way to let people know about the opportunity without making it a news report. I believe it is better to do good things in secret rather than telling the world to look at us, we are good people because we do good. Is it fair to say that we prefer the blessings of our Father in Heaven than the praise of the world?

[@julietalazo7954]

For me seeing this display made my heart swell with such profound joy and peace that I haven’t felt in a long time. With so many bad things happening around the world that are broadcasted through the news, media etc. it’s very disconcerting and brings a sense of hopelessness that there’s no good in the world today. When I see things like this, what the Church has put up for the world to see, it is not for the reason you might think, but it is to show the world that there is still hope, there is still joy to be found despite all of the bad happening, and that is through the savior Jesus Christ. It’s not about the Church, it’s about HIM, Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, the one who can truly bring peace to all. It is about the people around us, who could use His light to shine in their lives that for many feels so dark. It is a reminder to us all that not everything is lost, that God is in control not the Devil. This video gave so many people the same feeling as I, that everything will be alright. I testify that God lives, and that Jesus Christ lives and is the light of this world. ❤ He is the ultimate present that our Father in Heaven has given to us. Like Matthew 5:16 says, “let your light so shine that the world may see your good works so that they may glorify God which is in Heaven”

[@perlaorellana6310]

I think that is a way to let people know what kind of things we do, and where's the money from tithing going to ( especially now when there's so much misinformed comments going around).

[@teresasalisbury4748]

Marketing is necessary for any charity, December is the highest month for donations. But, sadly, this also promotes one religion.

[@truthprecept678]

It’s too bad the donations go to United Nations

This is wonderful!

Awesome!
