letters from the pen of Ellen White to members of the Wessels family
starting in 1890 and spanning the years to 1908, only seven years
before her death
.
To summarize, the E. G. White materials in the files of letters
and documents touching on Africa consist of counsels to missionaries
and leaders in Africa, to believers, and especially to members of the
Wessels family. It includes counsel to individuals, some of it very
personal and applying to particular situations. There are observations
pointing out mistakes in method, many exhortations, statements of
principles applying to the work, and many pages of deeply spiritual
instruction
.
The E. G. White office has endeavoured to bring together in this
collection the relevant material that will serve to guide and inspire in
the work in Africa, and to include some of the special items out of the
correspondence that will show the deep interest and involvement of
Ellen White in the Africa mission and her burden for the rapid and
balanced growth of the Advent message in that continent
