Medical Ministry
Physicians as City Evangelists
Those who are Christian physicians may do a precious work for
God as medical missionaries. Too often so many things engage the
minds of physicians that they are kept from the work that God would
have them do as evangelists. Let the medical workers present the
important truths of the third angel’s message from the physician’s
viewpoint. Physicians of consecration and talent can secure a hearing
in large cities at times when other men would fail. As physicians
unite with ministers in proclaiming the gospel in the great cities
of the land, their combined labors will result in influencing many
minds in favor of the truth for this time.
From the light that God has given me, I know that His cause
today is in great need of the living representatives of Bible truth. The
ordained ministers alone are not equal to the task. God is calling not
[249]
only upon the ministers, but also upon physicians, nurses, canvassers,
Bible workers, and other consecrated laymen of varied talent who
have a knowledge of present truth, to consider the needs of the
unwarned cities. There should be one hundred believers actively
engaged in personal missionary work where now there is but one.
Time is rapidly passing. There is much work to be done before
satanic opposition shall close up the way. Every agency must be set
in operation, that present opportunities may be wisely improved.—
The Review and Herald, April 7, 1910.
A Twofold Service
You greatly need divine wisdom to enable you to serve in two po-
sitions of responsibility—as skillful physician, and also as a preacher
of the gospel. There must be a daily conversion in order to blend
successfully the work for the body and soul. I cannot tell you in
detail just how this should be done, but I know that you can do an
important work in the ministry of the word, in instructing the souls
for whom you labor to believe in Jesus Christ.—
