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.
