Puppets touch hearts

OM International

The team in Ukraine 26 visited orphanages with their Christmas puppet show, and also performed in some hospitals and schools. About 6000 children heard the story of the One who can change our hearts.

One team member wrote, "One day we visited a special department in a big hospital. The head of the department, a lady very much against religious things, was out of her office for nearly three months but came back the same day we arrived. We had been given permission from another person for the performance but she would not let us do it, because we would tell the children about Jesus.

"When someone told her that we had brought some Christmas presents for the kids she finally agreed with one condition, that our presents didn't include any literature about God. She checked one present and found nothing. This was a real miracle because we had put a small book about Jesus with every present. God protected us so we could give our puppet performance and tell the kids about Christ!

"The story spoke to all the doctors, nurses and children. They were so excited. Even the head of the department invited us to come back again and spend time with the kids personally. Please pray for us now as we get ready for the Easter puppet show. We need God's strength and wisdom as well as finance for the next visits."
