Puppet & Drama Ministry Day 8

After the puppet show for the children, we began our drama ministry for the teenagers. Below: our 'icebreaker' challenges the teenagers to inflate the balloons until they explode. Little do they realize that these are heavy duty balloons!



Below: Through the financial gifts from the US and donations from Hungarians, today we completed our distribution of 2000 magazines and CD's to students and teachers in public schools. Not only do they receive the Gospel through our drama ministry, but they take it home with them in CD and booklet form. We pray that God will reveal Himself through these gifts that we were personally able to put into the hands of the spiritually needy.

They told us how much they enjoyed the show and invited us to return once again at Easter. We praise God for this amazing opportunity in Hungary that allows us to bring the good news into the public schools–an opportunity that is unheard of in many other countries including the US. As long as this door remains open, we will seek to continue using these tools to bring the message of hope to a new generation of Hungarians.

After our final performce, the team enjoyed lunch together with a focus on encouraging each individual team member. We took turns sharing with each other one word of encouragement related to each individuals part in the minstry. If there is one area that is lacking in Hungarian culture, it is encouragement. God used this time to bless each of us and see the love we have for eachother as His body.



For those of you who joined our daily prayer team–Thank you! Each specific request that was on the list we sent in email was answered on a daily basis. Thank you for taking the time to strengthen us through your prayers! Thank You Lord for answering!



Above: This evening, we gathered together once again to organize the mailing of 1000 evangelistic booklets coupled with an invite to our church to the neighboring town of Lörinci. Csaba (above far right), who served with us on the Puppet-Drama team lives in Lörinci and has a heart to reach his this small town. We were thankful to receive Gabi (above middle) and Milán’s (above far left) help.




Above: Of course Ben and Elli couldn’t resist the company–it was an enjoyable evening.

May the Father of peace bless you with a greater understanding of His love and peace this Christmas. May He comfort you and provide for you according to HIs great wisdom and grace. Peace to you all in Christ–the Mercers
