    A Rebirth of the Pioneer Spirit

    This account makes plain the courage and perseverance of the early self-sacrificing pioneers in the advent movement. Other statements from the Testimonies emphasize the urgent need of a revival of the same spirit for our future work.FSG 159.4

    “For years the pioneers of our work struggled against poverty and manifold hardships, in order to place the cause of present truth on vantage ground.”—Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, 423. “The burden bearers among us are falling in death. With the deepest concern the question may be asked, Who will fill their places? Never before ... were there results so mighty depending upon a generation as upon those now coming upon the stage of action. The youth must soon bear the burdens that older workers are now carrying.”—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 536, 537.FSG 159.5

    Some ask, How may that sturdy mission morale, called the spirit of the pioneers, be recreated and preserved in our midst today? The answer is plain: If Adventist workers will follow those principles of hardship and self-denial taught by the Spirit of prophecy messages, that same example of the pioneers will be seen in our churches in America as it is now being experienced by thousands of humble believers overseas. That is the call of the Lord to us now.FSG 160.1
