2. “The Lord desires that those who are engaged in the Sabbath School work should be missionaries, able to go forth to the towns and villages that surround the church, and give the light of life to those who sit in darkness.” —Testimonies for Sabbath School, p. 74.

2. Let the voices be lifted in songs of praise and devotion. Call to your aid, if practicable, instrumental music, and let the glorious harmony ascend to God, an acceptable offering. {4T 71}
3. Sing with the Spirit and the Understanding in their efforts to reach the people, the Lord’s messengers are not to depend on the world, in the meetings that are held, we are not to depend on worldly singers and theatrical display to awaken an interest.
4. Music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating, and to awaken in the soul devotion and gratitude to God. {PP 594}
5. Jesus held communion with heaven in songs. {DA 73}
6. Music is one of the highest arts. Good music not only gives pleasure but elevates the mind and cultivates the finest qualities.

2. Provide tools to help individuals communicate effectively, deepen commitment in marriage, and assist in becoming better parents.

6. Promote holistic health principles and demonstrate the love of God. 3Jn. 2
7. Promote natural remedies, such as hydrotherapy, diet therapy, NEWSTART, and others.

This ministry involves the dissemination of information, messages, promotions, and declaration of the present truth to a larger extent, local, national, and international. It works behind the scenes to make it possible to share the message of the association with large groups of people through documentation, recordings, amplified sound, PowerPoint presentations, Web pages, print media, and other forms of communication. Those who work in this ministry can be handled by volunteers who coordinate the effort of a team of media ministries where brothers and sisters are willing to get involved in the distribution of responsibilities. The Education and Publishing Departments will collaborate in making this ministry activate, functional, and working together as a team to further the cause of God in His vineyard.
