What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Based on the Bible (according to the 1950 revision/“Chinese Union Version”), the writings of Dr. Wei and the commentaries of the Seventh‑day Adventists, I encourage the implementation of the project “NEWSTART – New Beginning” in Sugin‑Great‑Heart‑Park, a self‑determined health promotion and community development program for the village community. I emphasize that we should not act according to my own will, but according to the will of God. If God wills that I go, then I will go; I hereby ask that God send me."
Answer
The writings explicitly emphasize that we should not rely on our own human judgment, but that only the will and way of God grants true success. Believers are called to willingly place themselves in the Master's service and be sent as workers into new territories and communities. There, practical principles of health promotion and well‑being are to be conveyed, in order to serve the people locally in a holistic manner and bring God's will to fruition.
Trusting not in human judgment, but in God's will
»There is no reliance on our human judgment, but the will and the way of God certainly bring success. We arrived at this place last Friday to attend the quarterly meeting. ... We should consult with one another and devise plans for advancing the work of the present truth on this coast.«
Carrying the principles of health reform into the communities
»It is the explicit duty of God's people to go into the more remote regions. Let forces go to work to make new land arable and, wherever an opportunity arises, to establish new centers of influence. Gather workers who possess genuine missionary zeal, and send them out to spread light and knowledge far and near. Let them carry the living principles of health reform into the communities that largely do not know these principles. People from simple life circumstances should be encouraged to take up God's work.«
Instruction in health principles and service to the neighbor
»In preparing a people for the second coming of the Lord, a great work must be accomplished through the dissemination of health principles. People should be instructed about the needs of the physical organism and the value of a healthy lifestyle as taught in the writings, so that the bodies God created can be offered to Him as living sacrifices ... There is a great work to be done for suffering humanity, by alleviating their suffering through the use of the natural resources God has provided and by teaching them to prevent disease by mastering desires and passions.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
