Perpetual Education Fund a new era of church history
OREM — LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley called Elder John K. Carmack on the phone about a "bold new initiative." It was February 2001, and Elder Carmack of the Quorum of the Seventy was serving as president of the Europe Central Area in Frankfurt, Germany.
"We've got great missionaries from all these countries, especially Latin America, who serve their missions and then go back to poverty," Elder Carmack remembered President Hinckley saying. "We're going to do something about it."
Elder Carmack was about to play a role in what he called a new era of church history.
