Our youth group started doing puppet ministry in 2009 which continued through 2017. During that time we traveled to campgrounds, parks and community celebrations. We utilized the art of puppetry to creatively share the Gospel message to people of all ages, bringing joy and understanding of biblical teachings through engaging storytelling and character interactions, through this impacting lives with the love of Jesus.  They learned God's word, team building skills and self confidence During my employment at Alexander Central High school, I had the privilege to use puppetry in the classroom. We focused on kindness, love, joy, self control, and patience. The students were able to express themselves by writing their own scripts. This was an amazing opportunity.
