Christmas Puppet Outreach final days
December 22, 2016
Before getting back to puppet ministry last Monday, we held our Christmas worship service in Petofibanya on Sunday evening. We were thankful to see visitors like the local middle school’s principal and others that church members personally invited attend this celebration with us!
Above: Church members practiced for weeks for our Christmas choir. With songs and excerpts read from God’s word, we were able to share the Christmas story.
Above: PI Teammember Tom who has been with us in Hungary a little over a year was able to share his testimony giving glory to the faithfulness and grace of God. Bogi, who was saved as a result of one of our English Club outreaches did a great job translating for Tom.
Above: Church member Orsi also shared her testimony. Orsi spent many years seeking for meaning in life and even went as far as India looking for spiritual direction. Every path she pursued did not satisfy what was missing in her soul until she encountered Jesus Christ. “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)
Above: We were back out doing puppet ministry on Monday with our first visit being our hometown’s preschool. Our daughter Ziva (who attends this preschool) is pictured above throwing the snowball.
Our next stop for Monday was Petofibanya’s middle school where we have many connections with these kids through VBS, little league baseball and other ministries we hold throughout the year in our hometown.
On Tuesday our first stop was the town of Szirak. Last year we learned that the principal of this school had just been diagnosed with cancer and would be going through treatment. It was good to see him doing well this year and he remembered our prayers for him in his office. Before leaving, we were able to pray for him again for his complete recovery.
Above: What a blessing to be able to talk about the Bible in public schools and share the Gospel openly. Praise God for this open door in Hungary!
Above: Arnold to the rescue. With one of our other puppeteers becoming sick and then having to stay home to care for her son who also became sick, we were very grateful for Arnold to rotate into the team and fill in.
Erdotarcsa happened to be our final show for this year as our show scheduled for Thursday was canceled due to students being sick.
Thank you all for your prayers and support for this ministry. God was gracious to constantly provide for us and protect us as we traveled to over 30 schools. Praise God for seeds of His Good News distributed to over 2,000 children.
Please pray for all those who were involved in this ministry to have restorative rest as they spend time with family. Some are still dealing with sickness (as well as some of our kids), and we ask you to pray for complete healing.
