Donated Shoes Preach Sermon
.Barefoot and coatless on a chilly spring
night, a young man entered the New York
subway car with a group of .Southern Baptist
missions 'directors.
i '.
Huddled in their overcoats, the directors
noticed his feet, scratched and scarred from
the pavement, were missing one toe.
In an impulsive act of compassion, Don
Mulkey, state missions director for Nevada,
sat beside the man, talked a few minutes,
then gave his,own shoes and socks to him.
Another group member shared a gospel
tract. ; | -
Ray Gilleland, Christian social ministries
'director forj the MetropottTan New York
Baptist Association, .had earlier that night
told, the mission leaders ministry in Manhattan
must share the gospel in practical
ways before it can be shared verbally.
f
"I don't normally do that kind of thing,
but it * just seemed i - - this was what I had to
do," Mulkey said later. Mulkey wore
sneakers, the only other shoes he had,
through the rest of the conference.
Dan Sanchez, director of missions for the
Baptist Convention of New York, called it
"the strongest sermon I've seen this year."
