TrainingThe work which the disciples did, we also are to do. Every Christian is to be a missionary." MH 104
"I have been instructed that little companies who have received a suitable training in evangelical and medical missionary lines should go forth to do the work to which Christ appointed His disciples. Let them labor as evangelists, scattering our publications, talking of the truth to those they meet, praying for the sick, and, if need be, treating them, not with drugs, but with nature's remedies, ever realizing their dependence on God. As they unite in the work of teaching and healing they will reap a rich harvest of souls." CT 469.3 "As the medical missionary works upon the body, God works upon the heart. The comforting words that are spoken are a soothing balm, bringing assurance and trust. Often the skillful operator will have an opportunity to tell of the work Christ did while He was upon this earth. Tell the suffering one the story of Gods love." EV 517 |
"In various places outside of cities, schools are to be established where our youth can receive an education that will prepare them to go forth to do evangelical work and medical missionary work." 9T 170
"As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake, they should, while they have opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. And those who do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need our help, not only among those of our own faith, but largely among those who know not the truth." CH 506

"The true method for healing the sick is to tell them of the herbs that grow for the benefit of man. Scientist have attached large names to these simplest preparations, but true education will lead us to teach the sick that they need not call in a doctor any more than they would call in a lawyer...There is a work to be done in treating the sick with water and teaching them to make the use of sunshine and physical exercise. Thus in simple language we may teach the people how to preserve health, how to avoid sickness." SpM 137.2
