We used to do puppet ministries in Ecuador. They were very effective, and we enjoyed them a lot

Children love the puppets..they are good to use to teach values..they can be very useful ..I have seen many skits that teach against bullying and teach sharing..and the kids hang on every word!

Clowns are creepy and scare some children so I don’t think that’s a good idea. Now, on the other hand, puppets are a great ministry. The last children’s pastor used puppets for the younger children and they related to him/them very well.

We had a puppet show for Christmas Eve services and it was awesome!
Literally hunderds of kids came.
They also had one at the Halloween event… dressed like a farmer and cleaned out a pumpkin, like how God cleans us out.

They use direct Bible messages and concepts.

Kids love it.

They are very effective... they scare the children into praying for protection and donating their allowance.
