Families as Missionaries

“God desires that every man shall stand in his lot and in his place, and not feel as if the work is too hard.”PH012 8.5

“We feel an earnest interest in these schools. There is a wide field before us in the establishment of family mission schools.”PH012 8.6

“There are honest-hearted men and women out in the hills that must be given the message of warning.... Say not, ‘We cannot afford to work in a sparsely-settled field, and largely in a self-supporting way, when out in the world are great fields where we might reach multitudes.’ And let none say, ‘We cannot afford to sustain you in an effort to work in those out-of-the-way places.’ What! Cannot afford it! You cannot afford not to work in these isolated places; and if you neglect such fields the time will come when you will wish that you had afforded it.”PH012 8.7

“There are many families who would be a great blessing if they would take their belongings and settle in some of our towns or country locations where the standard has never been raised. Many should move into the regions beyond, and become just what Christ has said that those who believe in him should be.”PH012 9.1

“Let married men and women who know the truth go forth to the neglected fields to enlighten others. Follow the example of those who have done pioneer work in new fields.”PH012 9.2

“Let Sabbath-keeping families move to the South, and live out the truth before those who know it not. These families can be a help to one another. Let them do Christian help-work, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. This will have a far stronger influence for good than the preaching of sermons.”PH012 9.3
