OUR MISSION
Recognizing the gathering of Israel as the most important work on earth, and believing that nothing opens the heavens more readily than temple worship, Sweetwater Rescue is dedicated to assisting every worthy Saint in receiving the blessings of the Temple.
Founded in 2024, Sweetwater Rescue partners with local Priesthood leaders and non-profit organizations to provide support services to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who desire to make sacred temple covenants but are limited by distance or means.
Our services include logistics planning, group organization, donation collection, payment of travel costs (flights, buses, lodging, and food), temple coordination, and sacred clothing distribution. We are dedicated to making an eternal difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters, and we invite you to join us.
Whether you are a local leader wanting assistance in planning a Temple trip or someone wanting to help those in need in meaningful ways, our platform and services are here to connect and assist.
"My dear young brothers and sisters, these surely are the latter days, and the Lord is hastening His work to gather Israel. That gathering is the most important thing taking place on earth today. Nothing else compares in magnitude, nothing else compares in importance, nothing else compares in majesty.
My dear extraordinary youth, you were sent to earth at this precise time--the most crucial time in the history of the world--to help gather Israel. There is nothing happening on this earth right now that is more important than that. There is nothing of greater consequence. Absolutely nothing.”
"My dear brothers and sisters, here is my promise. Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than worshipping in the temple as regularly as your circumstances permit. Nothing will protect you more as you encounter the world’s mists of darkness. Nothing will bolster your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement or help you understand God’s magnificent plan more. Nothing will soothe your spirit more during times of pain. Nothing will open the heavens more. Nothing!”
