Words of Encouragement to Workers in the Home Missionary Field provides inspiration and practical counsel for lay members engaged in local evangelism and service ministries. Home missionary workers distributed literature, conducted Bible studies, visited neighbors, helped the sick and poor, and witnessed in their communities. White's encouragement addressed: divine approval of personal missionary work, promises of success for faithful workers, overcoming discouragement, handling rejection, combining prayer with effort, and understanding that small faithful service produces eternal results. The pamphlet emphasized that every member should be a home missionary, that personal work often proves more effective than public preaching, and that God blesses those who faithfully work their own neighborhoods. Encouragement strengthened workers facing opposition and apparent small results.
Lay members engaged in personal missionary work, literature evangelists, Bible workers, those discouraged in service, and all seeking motivation for faithful witness.
