Every Member to Take Hold of Medical Missionary Work—We have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical missionary work. The world is a lazar house filled with victims of both physical and spiritual disease. Everywhere people are perishing for lack of a knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church are in need of an awakening, that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths.—Testimonies for the Church 7:62. (WM 138.1) MC VC

A Door of Entrance to the Large Cities—Henceforth medical missionary work is to be carried forward with an earnestness with which it has never yet been carried. This work is the door through which the truth is to find entrance to the large cities.—Testimonies for the Church 9:167. (WM 138.2) MC VC

Every city is to be entered by workers trained to do medical missionary work.—Testimonies for the Church 7:59. (WM 138.3) 2 I MC VC

In every large city there should be a corps of organized, well-disciplined workers; not merely one or two, but scores should be set to work.—Letter 34, 1892. (WM 138.4) MC VC

A Part of the Work of Every Church—Medical missionary work should have its representative in every place in connection with the establishment of our churches.—Manuscript 88, 1902. (WM 138.5) MC VC

In every city where we have a church there is need of a place where treatments can be given. Among the homes of our church members there are few that afford room and facilities for the proper care of the sick. A place should be provided where treatment may be given for common ailments. The building might be inelegant and even rude, but it should be furnished with facilities for giving simple treatments.—Testimonies for the Church 6:113. (WM 138.6) MC VC
