This week’s additional readings emphasize Ellen White’s influence on the importance of the Adventist mission. Adventists believe that their core purpose is mission—proclaiming God’s final message to the world. The first reading, drawn from Ellen White’s writings, reflects her deep missionary spirit. This is followed by a piece in which she challenges young people to pursue education as a means of better-serving others.
David Trim’s chapter explores Ellen White’s role in shaping the Seventh-day Adventist mission, while Erton Köhler’s article highlights her insights on the nature and impact of mission for the church.

Thought for the Day
"Blessed are the meek." The difficulties we have to encounter may be very much lessened by that meekness which hides itself in Christ. If we possess the humility of our Master, we shall rise above the slights, the rebuffs, the annoyances, to which we are daily exposed, and they will cease to cast a gloom over the spirit. Desire of Ages, p. 301
