On Saturday, March 14, 2009, we left with the puppet team for Wayzon, District #3 where we are carrying on the training and the puppet show. The training started in the morning at about 10:00AM and ended 2:00PM. For the two days, I have been teaching on the topic: "PREACHING BIBLICAL MESSAGES". We have 20 pastors/church leaders in attendance.
There was a very heavy rain that fell that Afternoon. But by the time we ended our training, the rain has stopped.
Before we went out for the puppet show, we have a time of prayer and practice for an hour. By about 3:00PM, we went on the football field which is not far from the training site. When the kids saw the vehicle, they knew we were there again for puppet show. They started to come. By the time we were finished with setting up our stage, the place was crowded. The kids were so many that were pressing in on us. We have rope to keep the kids at a distance, but they kept pressing in. It reminds me of the time when people crowded around Jesus by the Lake of Gennesaret (Luke 5:1). He has to get in a boat. We have to adjust our stage three times. These people and kids were hungry and thirsty for the things of God. There were about 400 person (kids and adults).
After some songs by the puppets, I shared the word of God. Lots of kids as well as adults said the prayer aloud confessing their sins and and asking Jesus into their hearts.
