"Our schools are to be educating schools and training schools; and if men and women come forth from them fitted in any sense for the missionary field, they must have impressed upon them the greatness of the work, and that practical godliness must be brought into their daily experience, to be fitted for any place of usefulness in our world, or in the church, or in God's great moral vineyard, now calling for laborers in foreign lands. CE 46.1"
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
Both passages highlight the need for laborers in God's work. Matthew 9:37-38 speaks of the plenteous harvest and the few laborers, while EGW emphasizes the need for schools to train individuals for missionary work in God's "great moral vineyard."
