Our Commission
The Lord has shown us the evil of depending upon the strength of earthly organizations. He has instructed us that the commission of the medical missionary is received from the very highest authority. (MM 206.4)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12).
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. (1 John 2:6).
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 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 awakening, that they may realize THEIR responsibility to impart these truths. (Testimonies of the Church, volume 7, p.62).
