The Ministry of Health and Healing
beneficence with the humble missionary who was God’s agent in
their conversion. By a right use of their earthly treasures they will
lay up for themselves “treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
When converted to Christ, many will become agents in the hand
of God to work for others of their own class. They will feel that
the gospel has been committed to them so that they can give it to
those who have made this world their all. Time and money will be
consecrated to God, talent and influence will be devoted to the work
of winning souls to Christ.
Only eternity will reveal what has been accomplished by this
kind of ministry—how many souls, sick with doubt and tired of
worldliness and unrest, have been brought to the great Restorer, who
longs to save to the uttermost all who come to Him. Christ is a risen
Savior, and there is healing in His wings.
