The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for the week of July 24-30 is Acts 16-21.

The “Come, Follow Me” devotional says “Among the Lord’s final words to his apostles was the commandment ‘Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.’ While the apostles didn’t quite make it to all nations, Acts 16-21 does show that Paul and his companions did make remarkable progress in establishing the church.”
