JEM AGAPE PUPPETs
NOVEMBER 25, 2009
Praise God for the opportunity we have to transport some of the puppet equipment to Monrovia. On Tuesday, November 24, we brought the puppet equipment to Monrovia with some of our puppeteers. Some of our team members were already in Monrovia.
On Wednesday, November 25, 2009, we have our first show on a football field. Kids as well as adults came rushing to see what was going on as we set up the stage. It was the first show of its kind in the city of Monrovia.
After three songs, Rev. Munford gave the message. At the end of the message, an altar call was made and we praise God that some adults and kids raised their hands to make a decision for Christ. They prayed, confessing their sins and asked Jesus into their hearts. Thereafter, our team members gave their testimonies.
On Friday, November 27, 2009, we were invited to do a puppet show at an elementary school. This was our second show in the city of Monrovia. There were about 125 kids at the school. They were very excited about the puppets. They have never seen such things before.
Pastor Munford gave the message on the Prodigal Son. At the end of the message, lots of kids said the sinner’s prayer, asking Jesus into their lives.
On Friday afternoon,we were blessed to do another show. It was held near a football field. There was a football match going on but we had our stage posted not very far from where the match was going on.
By the time we got through putting up our stage, the place was already crowded. People were coming to see what was going on. It became more crowded when the puppets started to sing. There were about 150 persons.
Pastor Munford gave the message under the title, “YOUR LIFE BEFORE DEATH DETERMINES YOUR LIFE AFTER DEATH” from the Book of Luke 16:19-31. Praise God that after the message, lots of people prayed to ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.
Praise God that the puppet show drew people who came to watch football game to watch puppet show and to give their lives to Christ.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2009
On Saturday, November 28, 2009, we were invited to do a puppet show at an AWANA Camp. This camp is for kids who meet every Saturday for some activities and Bible Study from 3:00PM to 5:00PM.
There were about 35 kids at the camp. The kids were very excited and really admired the show. After few songs, Pastor Munford shared God’s word with them. Pray for these kids to grow up knowing more of God and loving Him.
Please keep us in prayer as we want to do some puppet shows during the Christmas and New Year seasons. Pray that God will bring people to Himself and that people will grow in the Lord.

About Us
Jesus Evangelism Ministries (JEM) is a ministry of evangelism and training which seeks to build up the Kingdom of God by equipping God's servants in Liberia, West Africa. JEM is a holistic ministry which seeks to share God's love through meeting spiritual and physical needs. JEM was founded by Pastor Benjamin T. Munford in Buchanan, Liberia. The USA contact for JEM is Pastor Travis D. Hutchinson, Highlands Presbyterian Church (PCA) of LaFayette, Georgia.
Benjamin is a graduate of African Bible College (Liberia) and is pursuing studies in Community Development through the Chalmers Center of Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.

Liberia is a West African country founded by freed slaves from the United States. Before its 15 year civil war (started by a former American serviceman), it was the most stable and prosperous country in West Africa. Two years ago it was declared a "failed state" and was considered the poorest country in the world. Please pray for the new democratic government and ask God how you can be involved with building up the Church in Liberia.
