Let the members of every church feel it their special duty to labor for those in their neighborhood. Let each one who claims to stand under the banner of Christ feel that he has entered into covenant relation with God, to do the work of the Saviour. Let not those who take up this work become weary in well-doing. When the redeemed stand before God, precious souls will respond to their names who are there because of the faithful, patient efforts put forth in their behalf, the entreaties and earnest persuasions to flee to the Stronghold. Thus those who in this world have been laborers together with God will receive their reward. {8T 196.3}

Enhver menighed bør arbejde for fortabte inden for sine egne grænser og for dem uden for sine grænser. Medlemmerne skal skinne som levende stene i Guds tempel, genspejle himmelsk lys. Intet tilfældigt, planløst arbejde skal gøres. At holde fast på sjæle, der er ved at gå fortabt, vil være mere, end blot at bede for en dranker og fordi han græder og bekender sin besmittelse, erklærer ham frelst. Kampen må kæmpes igen og igen.
