PUPPET MINISTRY DAY 1

After dropping Ben and Elianna at the bus stop, then taking Kira to preschool, I returned home waiting for the team to arrive for prayer. The first day of puppet ministry is always exciting and I’m sure even more so for Eniko and Eszti who are part of the team for the first time.

Above: Our puppet show is prerecorded and played on this Mp3 player. After plugging it in and testing it out, we only heard faint distorted sound. There was something wrong with the input jack! This was a big problem as the kids were just minutes from filling the room to see the show. We praise God that we were able to fidget with the cable half way out and an elastic band holding it place to make it usable.

Above: I love the kids expressions as they were drawn into the true Christmas story told by the puppets.

Above: We’re so thankful for Eszti taking on the responsibility of teaching after the show. She did a great job explaining the gospel and used a gift box that unfolds into a cross to explain the greatest gift that God gave to us in Jesus Christ who died for our sins.

Thank you for your prayers! Other than the sound glitch that God graciously solved, the day was free of issues that would distract from the message of the Gospel being proclaimed in these two schools! Tomorrow we have off and we begin again on Wednesday. We appreciate your continued prayer support.

ZIVA UPDATE

Everything was fine at her two week check up and we’re just keeping an eye on her weight to see if she can regain her birth weight.
