Ministering Quotes

“When I was ordained, it was for a special ministry, that of serving children and families through television. I consider that what I do through "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" is my ministry. A ministry doesn't have to be only through a church, or even through an ordination. And I think we all can minister to others in this world by being compassionate and caring. I hope you will feel good enough about yourselves that you will want to minister to others, and that you will find your own unique ways to do that.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“If throughout your entire life you make no fortune; travel next to nowhere; obtain a meager education; invent nothing new; are a stranger to fame; lack talent, wit, and charm—if these things are true and yet in the heart of every human who crosses your path you plant a seed of happiness, or, at the very least, you coax a smile from the saddest faces, your life will indeed be the greatest success story ever.”

“Just like when people are dead, you never talk about death; you talk about life. I have never done a memorial service for anyone that I have not talked about life. You do not want to talk about death, you want to talk about life. The time when people are sick, you do not want to mistreat them and say, "Now look, get your believing up." No. What you do is: you want to tenderly love them with the love of Christ in your heart. And you just join with them in prayer and believing and ministering, whatever you can do the best to help people.”
― Dr Victor Paul Wierwille, He Sent His Word and Healed Them
