Horses
Kids in Action spends a day on a farm that’s a sanctuary for rescued and retired horses. Hosts Jessica and Malachi demonstrate how they care for horses here and talk about how these horses care for them too. It’s Kids in Action, building relationships with God’s animals and developing special bonds together.

5. Proverbs 12:10 says, “Good people are kind to their animals, but a mean person is cruel.” and one of God’s laws from Exodus 23:5 says, “If a donkey is overloaded and falls down, you must do what you can to help, even if it belongs to someone who doesn't like you.” How does showing kindness to animals match God’s call for compassion and justice?
