The First Mad Muppet Ministry Show!

This intrepid team of evangelical adventurers launched the very first Mad Muppet Ministry Show!

This photo is actually proof that we survived as it was taken after the show when we went out to celebrate with some "atol" which is a traditional corn drink... thick sweet and yummy with cinnamon on top!

Preparing for a puppet show involves a lot of prayer, practice and even a day of crafts making signs to be used in the show to help highlight important points!

We had our "puppet singers" who started and ended the program.

We had a very fun little drama explaining to kids that they are important and special to God!

Ellen followed the drama with questions to reinforce the lesson!

I (Matt) gave a short Bible lesson on Mark 10:14, "Jesus said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.""  

A peek from behind!

One of the team members concluded the program!

We concluded the program with a rousing round of "Ho-Ho-Ho-Hosanna"!

The video is a set of highlights from the show!!

I'm so proud of the volunteers who have faithfully been practicing for two hours every Wednesday in preparation, and this is just the first as we have several more performances to go!!

Paul wrote, "I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some." 1Cor 9:22  Seems so applicable to puppet ministries!!
