"“Christ cooperates with those who engage in medical missionary work. Men and women who unselfishly do what they can to establish sanitariums and treatment rooms in many lands will be richly rewarded. Those who visit these institutions will be benefited physically, mentally, and spiritually—the weary will be refreshed, the sick restored to health, the sin-burdened relieved. In far-off countries, from those whose hearts are by these agencies turned from the service of sin unto righteousness, will be heard thanksgiving and the voice of melody. By their songs of grateful praise a testimony will be borne that will win others to allegiance to and fellowship with Christ.” Testimonies for the Church 7:51, 52 . LS 402.3"
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
The EGW passage speaks of the weary and sin-burdened finding relief and refreshment in sanitariums, mirroring Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28 to find rest in Him. The connection is strong and thematic.
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
The EGW passage describes medical missionary work as a means of doing good, healing, and turning people from sin to righteousness, which aligns with the description of Jesus' ministry in Acts 10:38. Both passages emphasize healing and doing good.
"And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing."
The EGW passage mentions thanksgiving and songs of praise arising from those who are healed and converted through medical missionary work, which resonates with Psalm 107:22's call to offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare God's works with rejoicing. Both passages connect healing/deliverance with expressions of gratitude.
