The medical missionary work should be a part of the work of every church in our land. Disconnected from the church it would soon become a strange medley of disorganized atoms. It would consume, but not produce. Instead of acting as God’s helping hand to forward His truth, it would sap the life and force from the church and weaken the message. Conducted independently, it would not only consume talent and means needed in other lines, but in the very work of helping the helpless apart from the ministry of the word, it would place men where they would scoff at Bible truth. {6T 289.1}

Sundhedsvirksomheden bør udgøre en del af arbejdet i hver menighed i vort land. Adskilt fra menigheden ville den snart blive en mærkelig blanding af uorganiserede kræfter. Den ville tære, men intet frembringe. I stedet for at virke som Guds hjælpende hånd til at fremme hans sandhed ville den udsuge menighedens liv og kraft og svække budskabet. Ledet uafhængig ville den ikke alene forbruge talenter og midler, som behøves på andre områder, men netop ved bestræbelsen for at hjælpe de, de hjælpeløse uden ordets forkyndelse ville man bringe mennesker i en stilling, hvor de ville drive spot med den bibelske sandhed.
