basis:
Mark 5:19 (NLT)
“But Jesus said: ...go home to your friends, and tell them what wonderful things the Lord has done for you and how merciful He has been.”
Christ method
“Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The
Saviour mingled with men as one who de-sired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and
won their confidence. Then He bade them, "Follow Me."Ministry of Healing p.143
hope...to every culture
“…yes, I try to find common groundwith everyone so that I might bringthem to Christ.”
1 Cor 9:22
it will happen again
“The great work of the Gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening.”
Great Controversy, p.611
