| Some of My Puppetry Background |
| Q: Why do you write puppet scripts? What motivates you? |
| We have a puppet ministry in which we use full bodied puppets to teach others in a unique way about God's love and His gift of Salvation. Although we have gone with our ministry into churches, 4-H, summer day camp, restaurants, etc. we go into the local homeless shelter and a nursing home on a regular basis. We want them to know about God and to know that with Him, there is hope. I love what we do and the people we meet and feel blessed having such an opportunity. |
| Q: Tell us about your church or puppet organisation. |
| Ours is a family run puppet ministry. We go where we are needed with it. We usually perform five skits alternated with songs sang in parts(mostly Southern Gospel because they tend to have excellent messages)and we make a point to pass out tracts on Salvation. We pray that God will continue to use us to touch others lives. |
| Q: How did you get started in puppets and what attracted you to this area? |
| My husband asked me one year what I wanted for my birthday. I told him a puppet. I was hooked from that moment on. I always had a desire to be a missionary. I never knew I'd be so close to home and using puppets. |
| Q: Where does your inspiration come from to write puppet scripts? |
| God's word the Bible. My four kids and life experiences help too. I tend to think about the message that I want to pass on to others and try to figure out the best way to do that. God is great! |
| Q: What advice would you give to someone just starting out in puppetry? |
| Keep in prayer and keep it fun. If you enjoy what you're doing, God will help everything fall into place. Not that it isn't hard work at times but it's all worth it. |
| Q: Who are your favourite puppet characters and what do you like about them? |
I guess I'm partial to our own puppets. Check them out on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rainbow-Kids-Puppet-Ministry/234879989894439
You can also feel free to ask any questions while you're there. |
| Q: What are the most important qualities in great puppet scripts? |
| Then need to teach a lesson and need to be interesting enough to keep peoples attention. I like humor. |
| Q: What would you do if you were a puppet? |
| I'm not a puppet? lol |
