    Elder Andersen will deliver an inspirational message to a worldwide audience of French-speaking young adults. This includes young women and men in the South Pacific, including those in New Caledonia, Vanuatu and French Polynesia.

    He will be accompanied by his wife, Sister Kathy Williams Andersen, who will also share a message.

    The devotional will be broadcast live in French on Sunday 21 February at 8:00am Tahiti time, which will be 5:00am on Monday 22 February in New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

    The broadcast will be part of a special series featuring six members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who will be speaking via live broadcast to young adults in separate regions around the world.

    This is a unique approach to broadcast devotionals, some on the same day, featuring remarks from six Apostles to a global audience.

    Elder Andersen served a full-time mission in France where he learned to speak French. Prior to his call as a General Authority Seventy, he served as a mission president in the France Bordeaux Mission.

    The live stream of the devotional can be viewed at ChurchofJesusChrist.org/broadcasts and on the Church's YouTube channel, here. 

    After the live streaming, the video will be available to view here.
