Here’s why Puppet Ministry works:

  • Kids actually listen when a puppet talks (seriously, it’s like magic)

  • Teens and preteens can get involved and take ownership of the ministry

  • It encourages teamwork, creativity, and leadership

  • It builds confidence in young people as they learn to perform and share the Gospel

Plus, it’s just plain fun. And fun, when rooted in God’s truth, becomes a powerful tool for transformation.
