Puppet Ministry day 7
December 12, 2013
Szarvasgede
Above: When we first arrived to Szarvasgede, the girl in blue in the photo above was in tears curled up in one of the teacher’s arms. It could be that she just wasn’t happy that her parents dropped her off at preschool, or she could have been afraid of the team setting up the puppet stage. Praise God that as Miki began engaging the kids with games and singing, she began participating and smiling.
Above: As we packed up our stage the kids received their CDs and christian children’s booklets we distribute at each show. These booklets containing coloring pages, Biblical stories and other fun family projects.

Above: Part of the show involves this character above who takes advantage of his Christian classmate by taking his sandwiches from his backpack. The Christian classmate tells him that he can have the sandwich and seeks to apply what he just learned from his grandmother while they read the Bible together: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. The Christian student invites his classmate to dinner with his grandmother and it is at this dinner that the grandmother tells the story of God sending His only Son Jesus into the world. After the show Timi or Eniko (depending on the day) review the lessons learned in the show and share the gospel. God is so gracious to allow us to sow these seeds in public schools all throughout our area. Kids are hearing the Gospel every Christmas and Easter through this ministry and receiving materials that they can continue to read and listen to throughout the year.

Prayer requests
Tomorrow, Timi (in purple above) will be taking her daughter Sára to have a follow up examination for her daughter who dislocated her thumb. Please pray for healing of Sára’s thumb and also for Timi’s own hand that was injured when she fell last week just before we began puppet ministry.
Thank you for your prayers for good nights of rest. God has been gracious allowing us to sleep through the night and helping us feel refreshed each new day. Please continue to pray the same tonight.
There are many sicknesses spreading through schools and preschools right now and we ask you to pray for the children of those on our team. Please pray for protection from sickness and healing for those who are beginning to show signs of sickness.
Praise God that all of our puppet equipment has been working well without major issues. We’ve had a few things that needed repair today, but again, nothing that stopped the show. Please continue to pray for God to protect all the equipment and use it for His glory.
Praise God that I was able to go into town after our shows this morning and pick up the rest of the evangelistic gifts we will be distributing next week. Praise God for His provision and protection in travel.
