What were we created for? What should be our top priority in life? What will keep our love and faith growing, strong and unmovable purifying our souls? What is it?
“It is an intense longing to save souls!!” Acts of the Apostles 371
“When we labor diligently for the salvation of our fellow men, God will prosper our very effort.” Testimonies 9
“In the working for perishing souls, you have the companionship of angels. Thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand angels are waiting to co-operate with members of our churches in communicating the light that God has generously given, that a people may be prepared for the coming of Christ.” Christian Service 259
“All Heaven is in activity, and the angels of God are waiting to co-operate with all who will devise plans whereby souls for whom Christ died may hear the glad tidings of salvation.” Testimonies 433
“As a result of the faithful efforts of consecrated workers, MANY will be turned from idolatry to the worship of the living God.” Prophets and Kings 171
“In proportion to the enthusiasm and perseverance with which the work is carried forward, will be the success given!” Prophets and Kings 263
“Ten truly converted, willing-minded, unselfish workers can do more in the missionary field than one hundred . . . without deep love for souls.” Cristian Service 26 2
“Every duty performed, every sacrifice made in the name of Jesus, brings an exceeding great reward. In the very act of duty, God speaks, and gives His blessing.”
“We should live in this world to win souls to the savior. …If we bless others, we also bless ourselves…Every ray of light shed upon others will be reflected upon our own hearts…and will receive the approval of God.”
“And, oh, what a soul-enrapturing thought, that when one sinner is thus reclaimed, there is more joy in heaven that over ninety and nine just persons!” Testimonies 2:22
…And here we have not one but 4 souls ready to join God’s remnant church!
We had DuPe and his family over for dinner a week ago to re-affirm their decision to get baptized and encourage them. I was so thrilled to hear from the 2 boys, age 15 and 17 that they really love Jesus and choose not to do the harmful things etc. They are so excited to get baptized! (Secretively I don’t think anyone is more thrilled than I am about it). This family has changed so much since they chose to love and serve God. They have given up all the harmful things and stopped eating pig. The only thing right now that concerns us is they may have a hard time to stop eating frogs and rats.
From left to right. DuPe, his 2 sons, his youngest daughter, his granddaughter, wife and 2 daughters. One other daughter did not come.
These are the only people in my area who truly are gaining victories and getting baptized with a simple knowledge of what the church stands for, and best of all have a strong love for Jesus! Truly they will be a great witness to others.
“If you are truly consecrated, God will, through your instrumentality, bring into the truth others whom He can use as channels to convey light to many that are groping in darkness.”
I’m here to tell you that I am the most privileged and fortunate person to be doing this work in this place – tongue or pen cannot describe the joy! All of heaven is at your side! What companionship! Don’t these quotes just fill your heart with longing to go all out and save the lost and perishing ones before it is too late?!
