There are many fields to be worked, and calculations should not be made to plant many large interests in a few favored localities. The Lord has instructed me that we are not to make many large centers; for in every field there should be facilities for the successful carrying on of the work. For this reason a few large institutions should not be allowed to exhaust all the income of means. In small and large cities, and in settlements that lie outside the cities, there should be maintained small centers where faithful watchmen are stationed who will labor for souls. Wherever the missionary worker goes, there should follow his efforts the establishment of some small plant that the advance of the work may be hastened. When God’s servants do their work faithfully, Providence will open the way for these facilities in many places. {Ev 535.2}

Der er mange marker der skal bearbejdes, og det bør ikke indregnes at beplante mange store virksomheder på nogle få gode lokaliteter. Herren har undervist mig at vi ikke skal lave mange store centre, for på alle marker bør der være faciliteter, for en god fremkomst af værket. Af denne grund bør nogle få store institutioner ikke have lov til at opbruge alle indkomne midler. I små og store byer, og på bosteder der ligger uden for byerne, bør der fastholdes små centre hvor trofaste vagtfolk er stationeret, som vil arbejde for sjæle. Uanset hvor missionsarbejderen kommer hen, bør hans anstrengelser for at etablere nogle små beplantninger følges op med værkets fremskyndelse. Når Guds forvaltere gør deres arbejde trofast, vil Forsynet åbne vejen for disse faciliteter på mange steder.
