EASTER PUPPETS DAY 1
March 22, 2012
PETOFIBANYA PRESCHOOL
Above: Before the show, singing songs that many of the kids are already familiar with from attending Bible club and VBS. Although we were not able to teach in this preschool after the show, I think the message was very clear from the song lyrics and the puppet show itself. Jesus is risen!

PETOFIBANYA MIDDLE SCHOOL
Above: Kids peering out the window as we pulled up and unpacked to prepare for today’s show.
Above: Miki leading our time of singing together. Our hometown middle school is always one of the hardest to perform in as there have been problems not only with the kids paying attention but the teachers as well. Over the past few years there has been some change for the better and I sensed God’s grace at work as the kids were engaged in today’s puppet show.

Above: This was Eniko’s first time teaching in our puppet ministry and she did a great job! We are so thankful to see her continue to grow in her faith and use after being saved in an English camp a few years ago. Since then she has been attending Bible training in teaching kids and has taken on teaching Bible clubs in our area in a number of preschools.
Even though we thought she did great, she thought she could do better and was a bit disappointed. We would appreciate prayer for God’s peace to fill her and His strength to move her to teach with boldness.
We praise God for a great first day! As we have so much to pack for the show, it is easy enough to forget something important. That’s just what I did this morning. As I completed setting up the lighting and the speakers and readied myself for a sound check for the puppet show, I realized I left my MP3 player at home that had the show on it. OOPS! Praise God that today’s show was in our hometown and my house was just a minute drive away. If this had been in another time, it would have delayed the show and caused problems with our schedule.
Specific Prayer Requests:
• Ben’s school called us after our first show informing us that Ben was sick and would have to return home. He is doing much better now, but please pray for complete healing and protection for the team’s children in this time. (Anna, Bence, Benjamin, Elianna, Kira, Ziva, Szabi, Alina, Darius and Elianna)
• The puppet show itself has less transitions with puppets than past shows which means the puppeteers get a bit fatigued holding up their arms for extended amounts of time (you can try holding up a book above your head on your knees for more than five minutes to know what I’m talking about). Please pray for strength for Eszti, Eniko, Miki and Erika.
• Please pray for open doors to share the Gospel with teachers who often invite us to coffee and tea after the show.
