Below Left: our fist destination, Below Right: Self-Portrait in the town of Boldog.

Our first stop today was the town of “Boldog” which means “Happy.” As we creeped along toward Boldog on icy roads, Janka told me that the teacher’s were a bit curious as to 'how religious' we were. Apparently, some word had already spread that we may be a religious sect when parents saw the posters for our puppet show. Remember, we are performing in public schools! Janka decided the best way to share the Gospel after the show was by letting the Word do the work. She chose a few key Bible verses to read and briefly explained their importance. The reception from the teachers was warm and the children were very attentive. Boldogon elment Boldogból (We happily left Happy.)


Our second stop was a preschool in Hatvan. After a successful show, in the midst of packing for our next destination, we were overjoyed to hear something special. In the adjoining room, the teachers put on the CD we just distributed as a gift to all the children! Praise God that He has opened the door for the good news to be proclaimed in public schools in this creative form! Below left: Miki distributing CD’s and magazines to the children.

Our final stop was the town of Csány. We were greeted by children who helped us carry our puppet set into the school gym. When question time came after the puppet show, we were completely out of candy. Oops. Yet, even without the incentive of receiving candy, the children did an amazing job answering each question related to the show! We decided that from this day forward-no more candy (well, except for the car rides between each school).

After packing up (below left), we returned home to prepare for our Thursday night Bible study in the book of Matthew. Dezső brought his wife Mary to study for the second time in a row! They told us that they also plan on coming to our Christmas service (with their two daughters) on Sunday. Please pray for them! Heidi (below far right) has been a great help in our Puppet-Drama ministry and in our family this week! She has helped care for our children (who literally pull her in every direction) and also helped Sharon with daily chores. We are thankful for her help in this ministry.



We are very thankful for you being a part of this ministry through prayer! You are helping us sow the seeds of the Gospel among 2000 children. We are nearing the middle of our outreach and we are fatigued. Yet, I noticed today that we were joyful together as a team. I am sure that your prayers are being answered! Please continue to pray!
