For over two decades, Sister Kristen M. Oaks and her dear friend JoAnn F. Phillips have creatively shared the gift of faith in Jesus Christ with more than 100,000 children, families, and individuals.
The two recently sat together, reflecting on the joy of their service-oriented friendship and the many lives they’ve seen change as they’ve sought to teach gospel truths and the doctrine of testimony to others—especially children. ...
Sister Oaks and Phillips first became friends while serving in the Philippines with their husbands around 2004.
At that time, President Oaks was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and was serving as Philippines Area president. Phillips was a senior missionary serving with her husband in the Philippines.
Sister Oaks and Phillips desired to find a simple way to help teach children and others they were serving how to prepare and bear their own testimonies.
The two turned to “Preach My Gospel” and from there felt inspired to design a creative visual tool outlining five truths one could bear testimony of. That tool was a simple white glove decorated with cut-out images, which they came to call a “testimony glove.”
