The Medical Missionary Work

“I wish to tell you that SOON there will be NO WORK DONE in ministerial lines BUT MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK.”  {CH 533 .1}

“Medical missionary work is the pioneer work of the gospel, the door through which the truth for this time is to find entrance to many homes...”  (CH 497.1)

“In no other line of the work is the truth to shine more brightly than in medical missionary work...”  

(MM 39.2)

“God grant that the importance of medical missionary work shall be understood...”  (MM 239.3)

WHO IS TO DO THIS WORK?

"We have come to a time when EVERY MEMBER of the church should take hold of Medical Missionary work.”  (7T 62.1)

“The medical missionary work given us to do means something to every one of us...”  {CH 320 .3}

“...Children are to be instructed in the special truths for this time and in practical missionary work. They are to enlist in the army of workers to help the sick and the suffering. Children can take part in the medical missionary work and by their jots and tittles can help to carry it forward...”  (AH 489.4)

“Ministers of the gospel are to unite with the medical missionary work, which has ever been presented to me as the work which is to break down the prejudice which exists in our world against the truth...” (MM 241.2)

“The medical missionary work is God's work. The Lord wants every one of his ministers to come into line...” {CH 533.3}

“Some cannot do so much as others, but EVERYONE should do his utmost to roll back the tide of disease and distress that is sweeping over our world. Many would be willing to work if they were taught how to begin. They need to be instructed and encouraged.” {MH 149.1}

WHEN IS THIS WORK TO BE DONE?

“...MEDICAL MISSIONARIES--ARE NEEDED NOW...” {9T 172 .4}

“Never has the world's need for...healing been greater than it is today...”  {CT 467.2}

“Acts of necessity and mercy are permitted ON THE SABBATH, the sick and suffering are at all times to be cared for...”  {PP 308.1}

“Man...has a work to perform on this day (the Sabbath). The necessities of life must be attended to, the sick must be cared for...he will not be held guiltless who neglects to relieve suffering on the Sabbath…God's holy rest day was made for man, and acts of mercy are in perfect harmony with its intent. God does not desire his creatures to suffer an hour's pain that may be relieved upon the Sabbath or any other day. The demands upon GOD are even greater upon the sabbath than upon other days.”  (DA 207.2-.3)

HOW IS THIS WORK TO BE DONE?

“..let little companies go forth to do the work...let them pray for the sick, ministering to their necessities, not with drugs, but with nature's remedies, and teaching them how to regain health and avoid disease.” {9T 172 .4}

“The workers should go forth two by two, that they may pray and consult together. Never should they be sent out alone...heal the sick...and say unto them, the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.”  {MM 249.2}

“Our medical missionary workers...are to go out to give treatments to the sick...from house to house...” {CH 538 .2}

“To those who go out to do medical missionary work... doing your best to bring relief to the sick and suffering.”  {CH 539.2)

HOW IS THIS WORK TO BE STARTED?

“...The medical missionary work will open many doors. No one need wait until called to some distant field before beginning to help others. Wherever you are, you can BEGIN AT ONCE. Opportunities are within the reach of everyone. Take up the work for which you are held responsible...Wait not for others to urge you to action. In the fear of God go forward without delay...Look not to see who else is ready...”  {7T 62.3}

“Begin to do medical missionary work with the conveniences which you have at hand...Put into practice what you know regarding the treatment of disease. Thus suffering will be relieved...” {MM 239.4}

WHERE IS THIS WORK TO BE DONE?

“If the medical missionary workers will carry this line of effort into the churches everywhere.”  {8T 72 .1}

“...IN OUR LARGE CITIES the medical missionary work must go hand in hand...” --Manuscript 117, 1901

“...There SHOULD BE WORKERS...among the TOWNS AND VILLAGES...”  {9T 172 .1}

“It is Medical Missionaries that are needed all through the field...”   {MM 249 .2}

“Carried to their homes. Often the relief of their physical needs is the only avenue by which they can be approached...”  (MH 144.4)

“...Not all can go as missionaries to foreign lands, but all can be home missionaries in their families and within their neighborhoods.” {6T 30.1}

“Every follower of Jesus has a work to do as a missionary...in the neighborhood, in the town or city where he lives...” {2T 632.2}

HOW TO TAKE THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK TO YOUR COMMUNITY:

By doing a health survey door-to-door or by phone

“There are many ways in which church members may give the message to those around them. One of the most successful is by living helpful, unselfish, Christian lives.” {6T 30.1}

“House-to-house labor, searching for souls, hunting for the lost sheep, is the most essential work that can be done.” (Letter 137, 1898, p. 3/ 1MR 14.1)

“There is need of coming close to the people by personal effort. If less time were given to sermonizing, and more time were spent in personal ministry, greater results would be seen. The poor are to be relieved, the sick cared for, the sorrowing and the bereaved comforted, the ignorant instructed, the inexperienced counseled...”  {MH 143.4}

“Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, “Follow Me.”  {MH 143.3}

“There is need of coming close to the people by personal effort. This work will not, cannot be without fruit.”  {MH 143.4}

“The suffering and destitute of all classes are our neighbors...it is our duty to relieve them as far as possible...First meet the temporal necessities of the needy and relieve their physical wants and sufferings, and you will then find an open avenue to the heart...”  {4T 226.3}

“Wherever a church is established, all the members should engage actively in missionary work. They should visit every family in the neighborhood. ...if every church member had sought to enlighten others, thousands upon thousands would today stand with god's commandment-keeping people.” {6T 296.2}

“...Had you done medical missionary work, trying to heal soul and body, you would have seen hundreds and thousands coming into the truth...Work for souls ready to perish...Do among them practical missionary work. Thus many souls will be brought to a knowledge of the truth.”  {1888 1750.6}
