3. The Minister's Duty
The best help that
ministers can give the
members of our churches
is not sermonizing, but
planning work for them.
4. The Minister's Duty
Give each one something to do
for others. Help all to see that
as receivers of the grace of
Christ they are under
obligation to work for Him.
5. The Minister's Duty
And let all be taught how to
work. Especially should
those who are newly come
to the faith be educated to
become laborers together
with God.
-- Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 82.
6. The Ministers Work
Christ intends that His
ministers shall be educators
of the church in gospel work.
They are to teach the people
how to seek and save the
lost.
8. The Ministers Work
Alas, how many are
toiling to fan the
spark of life in a
church that is ready
to die!
9. The Ministers Work
How many churches
are tended like sick
lambs by those who
ought to be seeking
for the lost sheep!
10. The Ministers Work
And all the time millions
upon millions without
Christ are perishing.
The Desire of Ages, page 825, paragraph 3
11. The work of every Church
Training Center
Every church should be
a training school for
Christian workers.
12. The work of every Church
Training Center
Its members should be taught how
to give Bible readings, how to
conduct and teach Sabbath
school classes, how best to help
the poor and to care for the sick,
how to work for the
unconverted.
13. The work of every Church
Training Center
There should be
schools of health,
14. The work of every Church
Training Center
cooking schools, and
classes in various
lines of Christian help
work.
15. The work of every Church
Training Center
There should not only be teaching, but
actual work under experienced
instructors. Let the teachers lead the
way in working among the people,
and others, uniting with them, will
learn from their example. -- The
Ministry of Healing, p. 149.

HEALTH REFORM
There is a message regarding
health reform to be borne in
every church.-- Testimonies,
vol. 6, p. 370.
17. The Lord intends to bring his people back
to live upon simple fruits, vegetables, and
grains. He led the children of Israel into
the wilderness, where they could not get a
flesh diet, and he gave them the bread of
heaven. Men did eat angel’s food, but
they craved the flesh-pots of Egypt, and
mourned and cried for flesh
18. A meat diet changes the disposition and
strengthens animalism. We are composed
of what we eat, and eating much flesh will
diminish intellectual activity. ..
19. When the animal part of the human agent
is strengthened by meat-eating, the
intellectual powers diminish
proportionately. A religious life can be
more successfully gained and maintained
if meat is discarded, for this diet
stimulates into intense activities lustful
propensities, and enfeebles the moral and
spiritual nature.
White, E. G. (n.d.). (p. 14).
White, E. G. (n.d.). Extracts from
Unpublished Testimonies in Regard to
Flesh Foods (p. 14).
20. Cancers, tumors, and all inflammatory
diseases are largely caused by meat-
eating.
From the light God has given me, the
prevalence of cancers and tumors is
largely due to gross living on dead flesh.
White, E. G. (n.d.). (p. 14).
White, E. G. (n.d.). Extracts from
Unpublished Testimonies in Regard to
Flesh Foods (p. 14).
21. Counsels on Health, p. 450:
Again and again I have been shown that
God is trying to lead us back, step by step,
to His original design--that man should
subsist upon the natural products of the
earth. Among those who are waiting for
the coming of the Lord, meat eating will
eventually be done away; flesh will cease
to form a part of their diet. We should
ever keep this end in view, and endeavor
to work steadily toward it. . . .
22. The work of Every Church
The medical missionary
work should be a part of
the work of every church in
our land.-- Testimonies,
vol. 6, p. 289.
23. The work of Every Church
In every place where there
is a church, large or small,
there a school should be
established.--Letter 108,
1899.
24. The work of Every Church
The third chapter of First
Corinthians should be read
with careful and prayerful
consideration by every church
member. ..The cause of their
difficulties is plainly revealed
(MS 74, 1899).
25. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
1 And I, brethren, could
not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto
carnal, even as unto babes
in Christ.
26. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
2 I have fed you with
milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not
able to bear it, neither
yet now are ye able.
27. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
3 For ye are yet carnal:
for whereas there is
among you envying, and
strife, and divisions, are
ye not carnal, and walk
as men?
28. The Sources of Church Growth
1. Vision
Without a vision, the people perish.
Before attempting anything for the
Lord, I must have a clear cut
vision, which becomes the desire
of my heart.
29. The Sources of Church Growth
2. Power of the Holy Spirit
To be effective in ministry, I
must be filled with the Holy
Spirit.
30. The Sources of Church Growth
3. Power of Prayer
There is no subsidy for a
daily appointment with
God.
31. The Sources of Church Growth
4. Power of Love

receive love from God and
each other and to give love

32. Organizational leadership
Requires the VIP Factor
VIP MEANS - Vision Intersecting Profile

35. Our Mission
19Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
Matthew 28:19
36. Our Context
Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
14And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
37. Our Method
Our goal is to reach the world.
To best do this we need to find
the people.
In the time of Christ, they were
found at the Markets place etc.,
and he met them there.
38. Today more and more people are
gathering online to find the answers
to life's problem.
Gathering Places
39. Christ's method alone will give true
success in reaching the people. The Savior
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.“ E. G. White

51. Joshua 2:9-11
9And she said unto the men, I know that
the LORD hath given you the land, and
that your terror is fallen upon us, and that
all the inhabitants of the land faint
because of you.
52. Joshua 2:9-11
10For we have heard how the LORD dried
up the water of the Red sea for you, when
ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did
unto the two kings of the Amorites, that
were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and
Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
53. Joshua 2:9-11
11And as soon as we had heard these
things, our hearts did melt, neither did
there remain any more courage in any
man, because of you: for the LORD your
God, he is God in heaven above, and in
earth beneath.
54. Joshua 2:9-11
The viral tools of the ancient world carried
the story of Yahweh from the deserts of
Palestine to the cities of Canaan, including
hers. Our viral tools today, are much more
potent than those which existed at the
time of Rahab. We need to take
advantage of these tools to warn the
world of a soon-coming Savior.
