PUPPET MINISTRY Update
April 07, 2009
TUESDAY: Selyp
Above: As the kids made their way in, one blurted out, “Ohhh, I love it when the Puppet Show comes.” We are very thankful that this has become such a yearly event that the kids have come to know us by name and know more and more about the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Above: After stealing a paint brush from a friend, the end of our show ends with reconciliation. A friend who was angry at being stolen from chooses to forgive, and the friend who stole also asks for forgiveness and brings a gift to replace what she stole.

We usually have a good 45 minutes between shows to pack up and get to our next destination. Today, we had 15 minutes. I am thankful for the team’s work together to know what to grab, where to put it, and how to set it up in record time. We were able to be at the next school (Lőrinci) and set up without any problems.
Lőrinci
Above: With the number of kids in this room, we always expect a little bit of chatter at the more serious parts where some get distracted. We praise God that the entire room was quiet when serious matters were being discussed about the Easter story. The kids were clearly paying attention throughout the whole show and also joined in clapping and singing at the end.
Above: Unfortunately, we couldn’t share the wordless book in this school because of time constraints, but the magazine and CD we distribute have clear presentations of the Gospel on them. It is our hope the that kids will play these things over and over again at home and go through the magazines with their parents.

Above: Those that came to the show in Zagyvaszántó knew about the show by word of mouth and posters. Unfortunately, we have been denied an opportunity to do the show in the public schools. Instead, we use the local community center after school hours. The town was so resistant to the show that they didn’t allow us to put up poster invites in the preschool. Even still, there were a handful that came, and our kids also attended since this town is just around the corner.
Overall, it was a great day and God is giving us the spiritual and physical strength we need to finish well. I was thankful to see teammates laughing together and just having a good time being together in the midst of serving. Tomorrow is our last day of our Easter Puppet Ministry. Please keep us in your prayers!
