"Only a few months before this epic occasion, elder John N. Andrews, one of our leading ministers, was sent to Switzerland to pioneer the heralding of the message in Europe. In the counsels of a few months earlier, Ellen White had written of the need of missionaries “to go to other nations to preach the truth in a guarded, careful manner.”—Page 204. With the sailing of Elder Andrews in the autumn of 1874, Seventh-day Adventists began to turn their eyes to other lands. 3T 5.1"
"As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."
Both passages describe the sending out of individuals for missionary work. Acts 13:2 describes the Holy Spirit directing the separation of Barnabas and Saul, while the EGW passage discusses the sending of Elder Andrews to Europe. The parallel lies in the act of commissioning individuals for spreading a religious message.
