In a mission to reach the cities, the servant of God dreamed of the time when every church would take on the call to become a priesthood of all believers. Where every church would be a training school for Christian workers. In our momentous times, in conjunction with our public evangelism campaign, that vision can be made a reality: Training schools and public meetings should be combined when doing city work. A well-balanced work can be carried on best in the cities when a Bible school for the training of workers is in progress while public meetings are being held EGW, Gospel Workers, p Welcome to the Gateway Training School.
