Every member of the church should be a Medic Missionary

Hello Everyone,
          We will connect at 8:30 pm tonight to a Special Medical Missionary Webinar presented by Walt Cross.

-------
           Let us always remember, “Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it.”  (1 Thessalonians 5:24) and, “God will help His people to find such homes outside the cities.”  {RH, July 5, 1906 par. 30}

             We have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical missionary work. The world is a lazar house filled with the victims of both physical and spiritual disease. Everywhere people are perishing for lack of a knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church are in need of an awakening, that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths. Those who have been enlightened by the truth are to be light bearers to the world. To hide our light at this time is to make a terrible mistake. The message to God's people today is, "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."  {RH, July 29, 1902 par. 2}

    No line is to be drawn between the genuine medical missionary work and the gospel ministry. These two must blend. They are not to stand apart as separate lines of work. They are to be joined in an inseparable union, even as the hand is joined to the body. Those in our institutions are to give evidence that they understand their part in the genuine gospel medical missionary work. A solemn dignity is to characterize genuine medical missionaries. They are to be men who understand and know God and the power of His grace.--Letter 102, 1900.  {CME 44.3}
     Successful evangelistic work can be done in connection with medical missionary work. It is as these lines of work are united that we may expect to gather the most precious fruit for the Lord. --Medical Ministry, p. 26.  {CME - A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education 44.4}
