Area Seventies are called by the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be leaders and “especial witnesses,” as well as to assist the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in “building up the church and regulating all the affairs” and “preaching and administering the gospel” in their assigned areas (Doctrine and Covenants 107:25, 34,38). They act under the keys and direction of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
