An Appeal for Self-supporting Laborers to Enter Unworked Fields

Giving Part Time to Neighborhood Ministry

Now I urge that more attention be given to eternal realities. Let every soul be aroused, and show that he appreciates the value of souls for whom Christ died. Let every one inquire, “What can I do to let the light shine forth to others?” Where is the missionary spirit? Where are those who will come to this part of the world and establish themselves in localities where they can lift the standard of truth, working in a quiet way? [Also written from australia.] Although they may not be able to give their whole time to the work, they can give a portion, they can exert a good and saving influence, and God will work through them. PH005 20.1

Our field is the world, and we may all find ample room in which to work. But there is a great lack of money in the treasury, and if none shall engage in the work but men who are paid wages, what will become of the multitudes that are in darkness? Let all pray that the Lord will teach them how to use his gifts, to do their work with fidelity.—Letter 23a, 1892. PH005 20.2
