Puppet/Drama Ministry Starts Monday!



As an 'experienced' puppet/drama team, It may be easy for us to lose focus. It may be easy to think, we have done this for three years, we have the experience, the tools and the talent. We may go through the motions thinking, "no problem." But we must remember, that this ministry is not seeking to entertain kids, but to battle for their freedom from the bondage to sin. The puppet and drama show are just the sheath for the sword of the gospel (the word of God that the Spirit supplies-Eph 6:17) that we will present in each of these schools. There will be many in these audiences that are the next generation of Christian missionaries, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

Together, we are Christ's representatives, calling children and teachers to be reunited with God through the finished work of Jesus Christ, the risen Lord. We are stepping into a vicious battle against "the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."–Eph 6:12 You can be sure that these evil authorities will do all they can to dismantle our unified effort and keep thousands of the lost in darkness.

This is why your role in prayer is so important to us, and critical for us to win each day. Therefore, "Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God's people." (Eph 6:18)

Here are some suggested requests-however, pray as you feel led each day:

Team requests:
(We are: Allen & Sharon M., Miki & Erika F., Heidi S., Janka S., Csaba B.)
1. Physical HEALTH and stamina for a tough schedule.  Our voices-leading in singing and speaking. Our bodies-puppet and drama show are tough on our bodies physically.
2. Safety in traveling everyday (We usually travel via 3 separate cars)
3. Unity, patience, good communication among members and abiding love.
4. Protection from the enemy (The team including the children: Ben, Elianna and our unborn baby; Miki's children: Bence & Anna)
5. Restful nights of sleep.
6. Spiritual stamina. That we would be daily built up in prayer and fellowship.
7. That God would equip us to be the brilliant light of Christ in these spiritually dark areas.

The Show:
1. That all the technical elements would WORK! (lights, microphone, guitar, speaker for Puppet show, puppets, sound for drama, props).
2. That all the cars would WORK!
3. That the message of the Gospel would be delivered without distraction. (in the past the enemy has used loud noises, accidents, technical problems, distracting kids etc.)
4. That Janka, and Erika (alternating each show) may speak about the Good News boldly.
5. That God would bless those that come with an understanding of the Gospel and draw them to Himself.
6. That God would especially minister to the teachers and adults that attend and give us opportunity to lead them to Jesus.
7. That the CD's (with the Gospel and song) and the Christian family magazines that we will distribute to each child and teacher may produce fruit. 
8. That the worship songs we sing (led by Miki) may stir the children's and teacher's spirits and lead them to a deeper understanding of our Savior.

Please visit this website each day for the latest updates and prayer requests.

Praising God with you as, "He has restored our relationship with him through Christ, and has given us this ministry of restoring relationships."–II Cor 5:18
