Below are some videos from previous years at Sturgis as well as an awesome prayer guide to help guide you through a prayer time for Sturgis. Please direct your friends that won't be going to Sturgis, to this Prayer Video and encourage all that can to spend time in prayer for this Mission.

If you want to know more how to give your 3 minute testimony, there is a video at the end of these that will teach you exactly how to do that. YOUR story is something that you can use anywhere you go to witness to others, it is not designed just for Sturgis.
