As the message of truth advances into new fields, it is God’s purpose that the work of establishing new centers shall be constantly going forward. Throughout the world His people are to raise memorials of His Sabbath, the sign between Him and them that He is the One who sanctifies them. At various points in missionary lands publishing houses must be established. To give character to the work, to be centers of effort and influence, to attract the attention of the people, to develop the talents and capabilities of the believers, to unify the new churches, and to second the efforts of the workers, giving them facilities for more ready communication with the churches and more rapid dissemination of the message—all these and many other considerations plead for the establishment of publishing centers in missionary fields. {7T 144.5}

Efterhånden som sandhedens budskab bliver forkyndt på nye steder, er det Guds hensigt, at der stadig skal oprettes nye centre. Overalt i verden skal hans folk opføre mindesmærker om hans sabbat, (145) som er tegnet mellem ham og dem på, at han er den, som helliger dem. På forskellige steder i missionslandene skal der oprettes forlag. Der er meget, som taler for, at der bør oprettes forlag på missionsmarkerne. De skal sætte deres præg på arbejdet, de skal være midtpunktet for arbejdet og for værkets indflydelse, de skal vække folks opmærksomhed, de skal bidrage til at udvikle de troendes talenter og evner, de skal knytte de nye menigheder sammen og støtte arbejderne i deres bestræbelser og give dem mulighed for at opnå lettere forbindelse med menighederne og for at udbrede budskabet hurtigere.
