“The medical missionary work is the right arm of the message.”
The Kress Collection compiles writings and correspondence of Dr. Daniel Kress with Ellen G. White's endorsements and counsel regarding medical missionary work. This unique compilation shows collaboration between prophet and physician in establishing Adventist medical work. Materials address establishing sanitariums, training medical missionaries, maintaining spiritual focus in medical institutions, and using health work as entering wedge for gospel. White's letters to Dr. Kress provide guidance on balancing medical and spiritual aspects, avoiding drift toward purely professional healthcare, and maintaining missionary purpose. The collection demonstrates how prophetic counsel guided practical implementation of medical missionary vision.
Essential for medical professionals in Adventist healthcare. Valuable for understanding medical missionary history. Anyone establishing health ministries needs these practical principles.
