Helping with the puppet ministry

A sea of anxious faces at Nassau Christian School - grades 4-6.

The kids and I had the opportunity to help with a puppet show at The Nassau Christian School this past Friday. We were teaching about forgiveness when it comes to someone doing something wrong against you, or you are in conflict. Our audience was 4th - 6th graders. Laura Danek is one of the staff members at ALC, and oversees the curriculum portion of the program that is taught at ALC. On Fridays she goes into the schools and presents a puppet show to drive home a concept to the students. Her goal is to speak to every student on the island. We were asked to help with the show because they needed extra help. The boys were reluctant at first, but once it was over, they were hooked again. The rememberance of doing puppets in Venezuela and Mexico brought back good thoughts about great times presenting the gospel to hundreds.

We hope to be able to help more often, as our homeschooling schedule permits. We may be able to rearrange our week to allow us to help more often. It was awesome to be able to share Jesus with such an attentive audience.

I was asked to give the closing prayer when Laura was finished. Before the program started, each grade stood and recited their memory verse. The 4th grade recited Ephesians 4:31-32. It brought to mind the song that I had learned as a child and one that I sing and make my kids sing to each other when there is conflict in our house. Before I prayed to end the program, I asked the audience to indulge me and my family as we taught them the song from Ephesians 4:32. They loved it! We ended up teaching it to the director at the school and several other teachers so that they can use it when needed.

Watch for our posts coming up about Fun Day at The Adventure Learning Centre on March 24th. We would appreciate your prayers as we host a fun day for the residents of Nassau and show them Jesus!
