“The best help that ministers can give the members of our churches is not sermonizing, but planning work for them. Give each one something to do for others.... And let all be taught how to work.

If set to work, the despondent will soon forget their despondency; the weak will become strong, the ignorant intelligent, and all will be prepared to present the truth as it is in Jesus.”—Testimonies for the Church 9:82. PH120 27.1

“Let the missionary meeting be turned to account in teaching the people how to do missionary labor.”—Testimonies for the Church 6:431. PH120 27.2
