What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Children's Mission Assignment Quotes Ellen White"
Answer
Ellen White emphasizes that children and youth are called to be God’s "helping hand" and can become effective missionaries through proper training. Education in the home is considered the most important mission field, where children learn to reflect Christ through obedience, willingness to serve, and self‑denial. Well trained, young people could, like an army of workers, carry the message of the gospel quickly to the whole world.
The Education of Children as the Most Important Mission Work
»Raising children in the education and admonition of the Lord is the greatest mission work that parents can accomplish. The mother is entrusted with a greater work than the king on his throne. She has a duty toward her children to fulfill that no one else can fulfill.«
Children as God's Helping Hand
»The Lord has destined youth to be His helping hand. ... With such an army of workers, as our youth could be properly trained, how soon could the message of a crucified, risen, and soon coming Redeemer be carried to the whole world! Today we have an army of young people who can do much if they are properly guided and encouraged.«
Mission Work Begins in the Home
»Parents should not forget the great mission field that lies before them in the home. ... There is no mission field more important than this. Through teaching and example, parents should teach their children to work for the unreached. ... From their earliest years, self‑denial and willingness to sacrifice for the welfare of others and the advancement of Christ's cause should be instilled in them, so that they can be God's workers.«
Christ makes Children into Small Missionaries
»God wants every child, in tender age, to be His child, to be taken into His family. ... He can draw their hearts into trust and love for Jesus, so that they live for the Redeemer. Christ will make them small missionaries. The entire flow of their thoughts can be changed so that sin does not appear as something one enjoys, but something one avoids and hates.«
Schools as a Means for Training Missionaries
»Our schools are the special instrument of the Lord to make children and youth fit for mission work. ... In childhood and youth, practical and literary training should be combined. ... Children should be taught that Christ is their personal Redeemer and that by the simple process of giving Him their heart and mind, they become His disciples.«
Preparation for Useful Service
»Teach them that God has a task for them in His great mission work. ... Children can be acceptable missionaries in the home and in the congregation. God wants them to be taught that they are for useful service in this world, not merely for play. They can be trained to do mission work that prepares them to fill larger areas of usefulness.«
