Sheep and Goat

If you've ever gone to Sunday School, you've probably heard of:
    --    Adam & Eve
    --    Mary & Joseph
    --    Jonah & the Whale
    --    Daniel & the Lions
    --    David & Goliath
    --    Esther & Mordecai

But you may not have heard of the bible's most adventurous pair, until now. Introducing Sheep & Goat.

Sheep & Goat is a children's ministry initiative -- with exciting characters, a children's book and merchandise -- to remind us of our need to love as Christ loves us.

The concept is based on the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in which Jesus emphasized He wants us to live like Him and show others His love.

In this all important Parable, Jesus says He's coming back, and that He'll separate us as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats -- based on whether we really loved Him by loving others. All His sheep will advance into God's kingdom for eternity.

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'" Mt 25:31-36

The Sheep represent those who show love to those who are hungry, sick, naked, or in prison. The Goats are those who are indifferent to the plight of others.

Our book, Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor conveys this vital message by contrasting Sheep's tremendous compassion for others with Goat's self-absorbed lifestyle.

Christians can use this book and related merchandise to encourage their young children to live lovingly, as Jesus instructed.

The book encourages us not to conform to this world, but rather to "Be Transformed," so we can show the love of Christ.

All Christians should find this story an enjoyable reflection on this essential spiritual truth and a reminder to live compassionate lives. We place Sheep & Goat in real world situations that repeatedly teach children to choose the path of love.

GIFT also has a line of Sheep & Goat merchandise -- including tee shirts, cups and more -- to encourage children to love others on a daily basis.
