[[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] ("LDS Church", see also [[Mormons]]) and other churches from the [[Latter Day Saint movement]] believes that God continues to communicate with his children. While anyone may receive [[Revelation (Latter Day Saints)|revelation]] for themselves or their own families, Mormons believe certain individuals have been called as prophets throughout history to proclaim God's message to the church and to the world. These prophets (including LDS [[Apostle (Latter Day Saints)|Apostles]]) are regarded as "special witnesses" of Jesus Christ, and are believed to have been foreordained as such as a part of God's [[Plan of salvation]] --to lead and guide His children on earth.  The message of the gospel of Christ, since the time of [[Adam and Eve (Mormonism)|Adam and Eve]], has consistently been a call for people to repent and exercise faith in God and in Jesus' [[Atonement]]. A form of [[Dispensationalism]] exists where periods of time are introduced by a ''major prophet''.  The [[Book of Mormon]] describes the ministries of many of these prophets among the ancient inhabitants of the Americas, and alludes to other prophets who would be chosen in nations other than in the Americas and [[Bible]] lands.
