Puppet Ministry Day 4 & 5
March 23, 2015
Above: Our first stop on Friday was the village of Egyházasdengeleg. You’ll see school halls lined with sneakers as Hungarians distinguish between inside and outside shoes.
Above: Part of our show includes shadow puppets. In this scene, Mary the mother of Jesus being told by an angel that Jesus has risen from the dead.
Petofibanya preschool
Above: Teammates Roger and Heidi’s daughter Emily who attends Petofibanya’s preschool.
Above: Ziva (center) was doing well enough (after being sick last week) to attend the puppet show. Our house is just a 5 minute walk away from the preschool.
Above: Teammate Heidi with her son Sammy. The day before the show, Sammy fell and had a serious gash on his chin. After being checked out, the doctors determined that he would not need stitches. Please pray for complete healing and for protection for our children in this season of puppet ministry.
Above: Teammate Monika was not able to serve today (Monday) because of sickness. Thankfully, with two teams that have prepared for this show, Hugi was able to fill her spot. Please pray for Monika.
Monday Jobbágyi
Above: We’ve seen such a change over the years in Jobbági. Previously this school was one of the toughest to present our show with so many kids causing disruption. Today they paid close attention and were very respectful, even presenting hand crafts as gifts to the team after the show.
Above: Eniko sharing how Jesus is the key to opening God’s gift of forgiveness and restoration to the Father. Praise God that her message is without compromise and we are able to clearly share the Gospel in these public schools!
Above: Continuing to distribute gifts to students and teachers that include a children’s magazine and CD with our puppet show, songs and other stories that help them to come to know Jesus.
Apc preschool
Above: Jennifer (purple shirt center) is the daughter of church member Vivi who is currently expecting. Vivi was saved over a year ago in one of our house groups in the town of Apc. I received a text message just as we were headed to Apc for our puppet show in their preschool that Vivi had to be taken to the hospital because of labor pains. We praise God that after being examined she was released to go home. As I’ve mentioned before, Vivi’s pregnancy has been diagnosed by doctors as high risk. Please continue to pray for Vivi and her child.
Petofibanya Middle School
Our last show for Monday was in our hometown of Petofibanya. It is great to see so many faces of children that have come to our Summer Vacation Bible School. God has also opened the door for ‘religion’ classes where teammate Roger helps to teach weekly.
Above: Edit, who is a well respected teacher in Petofibanya’s middle school was saved last year and continues to grow in her faith. She is very active in reaching out to students and teachers with the love of Christ. Edit shared that her grandson Marci (pictured in her lap) is already talking about our summer VBS.
Thank you all for your continued prayer support! God has been gracious, giving us strength and using us to proclaim the good news of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins and resurrection from the dead. This is a battleground and we need your continued support. Over the past week, we’ve had two puppeteers’ backs ‘go out’ and Jesus healed them both. We’ve also been fighting sickness (on the team and in our kids). After finishing the third show today, while on my way to pick up my daughter Kira, my muffler broke off and lodged into my back bumper. God was gracious to have me at just the right place where I could easily dislodge it. I am thankful that it fell off after our shows and not in the midst of traveling from school to school. Tomorrow, I plan to have it replaced. God is answering your prayers for us. He is faithful. Keep praying.
