METHOD
 CHRIST’S METHOD
(E.G. WHITE MODEL)
“Christ's method alone will give true
success in reaching the people. The
Savior mingled with men as one who
desired their good. He showed His
sympathy for them, ministered to their
needs, and won their confidence. Then
He bade them, Follow me” (MH, p.143).

 E. G. WHITE STATEMENTS ON SMALL
GROUP

“The formation of small companies as a

basis of Christian effort has been
presented to me by One who cannot err. If
there is a large number in the church, let
the members be formed into small
companies [small group], to work not only
for the church members, but for
unbelievers” (7T, 21).
