Ellen's Top 10 Mission Tips

  1. “In the near future many children will be [endowed] with the Spirit of God and will do a work in proclaiming the truth to the world that at that time cannot well be done by the older members of the church.”—The Adventist Home, p. 489.

  2. “[The youth] must be interested in the Lord’s work, and led to see that He expects them to do something to advance His cause... Teach them to try in a quiet, unpretending way to help their young companions... Thus they will learn to work for God.”—Gospel Workers, p. 210.

  3. “Those who are coworkers with God manifest a missionary spirit; for they are ever receiving, that they may ever be giving to others the light and blessing of heaven.”—Counsels on Sabbath School Work, p. 66.

  4. “Never, never feel the slightest disturbance because the Lord is raising up youth to lift and carry the heavier burdens and proclaim the message of truth.”—Letter 14, December 11, 1891.

  5. “Make [the youth] feel that they are expected to do something. The Lord chooses them because they are strong.”—Gospel Workers, 1892 ed., p. 279.

  6. “God calls for youthful vigor, zeal, and courage.”—Counsels to Parents, p. 535.

  7. “With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Savior might be carried to the whole world!”—Education, p. 271.

  8. “The Lord is calling for the youth, for He would make them His helpers to do good service under His banner.”—The Adventist Home, p. 358.
