A SERMON IN shoes

Do you know that you’re a sermon in shoes?

Preaching to others about love, kindness, and patience, too.

Reaching out to the poor and homeless,

Helping the elderly and refugees with loving kindness.

A SERMON IN SHOES

Linda Mei-Lin KohGC Children’s Ministries

Jesus walked the streets to preach, befriend, and heal;

Showing us that we should follow His love and zeal.

So, let’s walk and talk about His great love,

Preach and teach and live for Him above.

Sharing our food and clothes with the needy,

Cleaning the streets and beaches to keep them tidy.

Singing to cheer the sick and the lonely,

Living out my life as a sermon in shoes!

Remember, you’re always a sermon in shoes!

Walking and talking

Preaching and teaching

Living out the Kingdom tools.

UNSCRAMBLE THE WORDS

ELLEN WHITE’S COUNSELS

“Those who give their lives to Christlike ministry know the meaning of the true happiness. Their

interests and their prayers reach far beyond self. They themselves are growing as they try to help others.”

Ellen G. White, 9 Testimonies, 42

“All your physical and mental and spiritual

powers are God’s gifts. Use them wisely. . . . Let every power of body and mind be used in earnest, willing service for God”.

Ellen G. White, Review and

Herald, May 5, 1903

“The children should be so educated that they will sympathize with the aged and afflicted and will seek to alleviate the sufferings of the poor and distressed.

They should be taught to be diligent in missionary work; and from their earliest years self-denial and

sacrifice for the good of others and the advancement of Christ’s cause should be inculcated, that they may

be laborers together with God.”

Ellen G. White, Adventist Home, 487
