Puppet Evangelism in Monrovia

JEM PUPPET TEAM
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 had 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 of it kind in the city of Monrovia.

After three songs, Rev. Munford gave the message. At the end of the message, an altar call was given and we praise God that some adults and kids raised their hands to make a decision. They prayed, confessing their sins, and asked Jesus into their hearts. Afterwards, 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 125 kids at the school. They were very excited to the puppets. They have never seen such a thing 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 people.

Pastor Munford gave the message “YOUR LIFE BEFORE DEATH DETERMINES YOUR LIFE AFTER DEATH” from 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.
