As the development of the work called upon us to engage in new enterprises, we were prepared to enter upon them. The Lord directed our minds to the importance of the educational work. We saw the need of schools, that our children might receive instruction free from the errors of false philosophy, that their training might be in harmony with the principles of the word of God. The need of a health institution had been urged upon us, both for the help and instruction of our own people and as a means of blessing and enlightenment to others. This enterprise also was carried forward. All this was missionary work of the highest order. {TM 27.1}

Som arbejdet udvikledes blev vi kaldt til at arrangere os i nye foretagender, vi blev beredte til at gå ind i dem. Herren styrede vores tanker til vigtigheden af det uddannelsesmæssige arbejde. Vi så behovet for skoler, så vores børn frit kunne belæres om det dårlige i den falske filosofi, så deres oplæring må blive i harmoni med principperne i Guds ord. Behovet for en helseinstitution har været drivkraft i os, både til hjælp og undervisning af vores egne folk og som et middel til velsignelse og oplysning til andre. Denne virksomhed blev også overført. Alt dette var missionsarbejde af højeste rang.
