Puppet Ministry day 3 & 4

Sunday in Gyöngyös


We heard many stories from our friends at home at how difficult it was to travel in the unexpected snowstorm that hit the east coast. Thankfully, God sent the snow there and not here in Hungary and traveling to Gyöngyös was not an issue.

In years past, we always sensed a bit of resistance from the audience getting involved and singing along. This year, parents and even grandparents sang along with their kids and followed in the motions for the songs. The program offered to kids in Gyöngyös is advertised as non-denominational and we’re thankful that we were able to focus on sharing the Gospel in this meeting that drew many from various denominations.

Timi has had a rough past few days, struggling with sickness and even falling and injuring her left hand. She praises God for healing He is bringing but could continue to use your prayers for complete healing. We’re thankful to see her growth over the past few years from attending the puppet show with us, to serving as a puppeteer, to now sharing the Gospel after the show.

Even though we were running a bit late to Gyöngyösoroszi, we were able to quickly set up the stage and get the show started without any problems. We praise God for the joyous participation of all the kids in the audience and how they were able to pay attention throughout the show. After the show, we were invited to the teachers lounge where we spent some time in conversation over coffee and tea. One teacher shared her observations that over the years the kids in her school have ceased to show any respect and are on a downward spiral in terms of their behavior. In response to a sense of hopelessness we heard in her comments, we were able to share our hope that we have in the power of God to change our hearts and our need for God. Pray that the seeds we are sowing would bear fruit in the various communities we travel to and that God would lead many to His Son, our Savior.

Here are some specific prayer requests.

- Please pray for healing for Miki, Allen, Sharon, Ziva, Jennifer and Timi. Yesterday, we were hit with another sickness with coughing, congestion, sore throats and stomach and ear pain. Please join us in asking for healing and strength as we have just begun a challenging week of ministry.

- Praise God for helping Ziva sleep through the night! Though she seems to still be struggling with sickness, she is sleeping much better. Eszit’s daughter Elianna is also doing much better! Thank you for your prayers.

- Praise God that we’ve had no more issues with our audio equipment or stage. Please continue to pray for these various technical things to work well so that there would be no distraction from the main message.

We appreciate your prayers for us and this ministry.
