PUPPET MINISTRY DAY 8

ERDŐTÁRCSA

P1150675

Above: After steady snowfall last night, the roads were completely covered and slippery. Since the schools we travel to are located in smaller towns and villages, the roads aren’t plowed. This slowed our travel down, however God was gracious to get us to each destination on time and in one piece.

Above: Santa sighting. We see these stuffed Santa figures hanging from houses in every town we visit. Looks like he’s in trouble!

Above:
The teachers recorded the song we sang in order to sing it later with the kids.

P1150656

Above: Giving out magazines and CDs for the kids after the show. It is already amazing that the door is open to teach the true meaning of Christmas and Easter in these public schools, but even greater that we can distribute quality materials in Hungarian to these kids to hear in their homes. Praise God for the open door to sow these seeds!

ERDŐKÜRT

Above: Norbi huffing and puffing after joining the guys helping my car reach the top of a snowy hill with a push. Some of the schools we travel to have awkward entrances which become even more difficult to navigate in the snow. Praise God the car didn’t get stuck on the steep hill, and a simple push was enough to get momentum up the hill.

Above: Today’s show in Erdőkürt was a mix of preschool and middle school kids.

P1150780

Above: Teachers packed in the back of the small room. Unfortunately, there were a few young boys who were so disruptive and vulgar in our question and answer time that we had to send them out of the class room. This was the first case of ever having to do this in 7 years! After sending them out, the rest of the question answer and teaching time went well. Please pray for these three young boys to come to know the destructive nature of sin in their lives and come to personally know God’s salvation provided through Jesus Christ

We are more than midway through our schedule for this year’s Christmas puppet ministry and thankful for the team God has formed for this work and for you who are supporting us through prayer!

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Please continue to pray for those who are sick (Brenda, Elianna, Kira and the rest of the team who are fighting off sickness). Thankfully, Brenda was able to hold back her coughing attacks in the midst of our show today. It is kind of hard to muffle a cough as you are holding one arm and a puppet straight up behind the stage.

• Sleep. Today Kira told me with excitement, “Daddy, last night Jesus really did help me not to have scary dreams” Pray for all of us to rest well.

• Road conditions may remain slippery as temperatures drop, please pray for safety as we travel from school to school.

• Pray for the kids especially at question-answer/teaching time. Pray that the time would be free of distraction and that the kids would grasp what is being shared by Miki from God’s Word.
