HOLIDAY SEASON 2024

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2025

Well, here we are closing out another year. I have been sharing with you about the LDS Corporation’s theological belief system with comparison to Biblical scripture. We will put this on hold until January 2025. Because we are growing older, we are downsizing our home. Buying, selling, and moving has occupied our time since September. I apologize for missing an October newsletter. In the meantime, the shipping of materials has continued.

 Beginning January 2025 I will be discussing the differences of thought in the Bible and how Mormons view God, Jesus, and Heaven. 

The year 2024 has been very eventful. Because you have been faithful supporting this ministry financially, we have been able to supply informative materials to many who have been searching for truthful information about the history and teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are being contacted daily by people who have heard about this ministry. I am anticipating this to grow in 2025. 

Thank you so much for your help in supplying these materials. This will assist many former LDS believers in their transition into a complete understanding of who Jesus is, who God really is, and a Biblical understanding of heaven. 

Happy Holidays to you and yours,

Gary Keating

General Manager

Concerned Christians of Arizona

Each of us has a different routine as we begin our day. Some of us have breakfast and devour the newspaper. Some of us begin the day with our favorite beverage and feed on the word of God. The point is to read the Word daily. My prayer is that you practice what you enjoy most.

LDS CARE AND SOCIAL GROUP

Our hope at this ministry is to love and support all who have ties to the LDS church. Many of our loved ones attend the LDS church, are raising children in that faith, or we ourselves grew up in the LDS religion and culture. We may have questions about the ever-changing policies and doctrine of the church. We might have friends and neighbors who are LDS and have questions about the information and changes that have recently occurred in the LDS church.

We are rekindling a group that we held regularly in the early 2000s but with renewed focus and leadership. The LDS Care Group is a safe space for both former and current LDS Church members to share, encourage, wrestle, and grow in their Christian faith journeys with others who have similar life experiences, challenges, and culture. Currently, we meet near Dobson & Ray in Chandler. Please email Kristine Nelson at kreeintempe@cox.net if interested. Or call: 480-833-2537

If you are changing your email address in the future, please do not forget to make those changes in the preferences link at the bottom of the page. If you ever have questions, please call Concerned Christians at 480-833-2537 or email us at

We at Concerned Christians meet every MONDAY evening for an hour of prayer at 6:30 p.m. If you are not local, please set that time aside to  voice your concerns from your prayer space. If you are local and would like to attend, we ask you to call 480-833-2537 for directions. We truly look forward to meeting and praying with you in the War Room. We ask that you add Concerned Christians to your prayer list along with any other Mormon witnessing group you are familiar. The importance of intercessory prayer cannot be stressed enough. We have seen God grant many blessings to us over the years. If you have a ministry related request please send us a short email.        kreeintempe@cox.net

 “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.”    

 I Thessalonians 1:2  

We pray for opportunities to speak with Christians because we firmly believe “It is easier to keep them out than to get them out.”

If you would be interested in sharing your testimony of being delivered from the LDS Corporation into the family of the triune God, please send it to kreeintempe@cox.net Please include contact information.
