Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers compiles Ellen White's specific counsels for those bearing ministerial and evangelistic responsibilities. This focused compilation addresses: ministerial qualifications and spiritual life, preaching with Holy Spirit power, pastoral care and soul-winning, avoiding ministerial pitfalls (pride, discouragement, controversy), balancing study with practical ministry, family priorities amid ministry demands, and preparing people for Christ's return. White emphasized that ministers are shepherds caring for souls, requiring divine calling, thorough biblical knowledge, personal godliness, and dependence on Holy Spirit. The testimonies warned against professionalism replacing spiritual power, seeking popularity over faithfulness, and administrative work overshadowing soul-winning. This compilation provides concentrated guidance for those bearing sacred responsibility of representing Christ and leading His people.
Ordained and licensed ministers, evangelists, pastoral workers, ministerial students, and all bearing responsibility for preaching gospel and shepherding God's people.
