Adventistische Schriften über: "Ellen White statements about Ludwig R. Conradi"
Answer
Ellen White described Ludwig R. Conradi as an engaged leader who recognized the need to spread the Adventist message in Europe through literature. He actively advocated for the training of colporteurs in Central Europe, who worked on a commission basis without a fixed salary, to make the mission work financially sustainable. White highlighted how Conradi successfully trained young people, encouraging them to study the truths in the books intensively and sell them with enthusiasm.
The importance of literature work under Conradi
Elder L. R. Conradi had come from America in early 1886 and reported, after visits to congregations and groups of Sabbath believers in Germany, Russia, and Switzerland, that one of the most urgent needs of the European fields was books about the present truth, to be carried into people's homes by ordained and well‑trained colporteurs. He saw clearly that our literature must be used to carry the Advent message to the masses of Europe...
Successful training of young staff
Starting in Basel, Elder Conradi gathered a group of six or eight young people around him and began to train them for success. He explained that people needed the saving truths in our books; that Mrs. White had said these books could be sold with well‑trained effort; that Elder Matteson had found this to be true; and that he and his young workers would have to find the way. They studied their book until they were enthusiastic about its great truths, and when they then went out under his encouragement and guidance, they were successful.
