Day #6 - We woke up today at around 6:30. We quickly got breakfast
and left to the dorm to get on the buses for the first of two performances
today. Both performances were at churches, the first was around an hour away.
The performance went splendidly and the Khmer students did really well. However
we felt they could take on more responsibility. Dave had been doing most of the
transitions with one of the students translating for him. So for the second
performance we had various students take over much of what our team had been
doing, to the point that no English was spoken throughout the show. Over the
coming weekend, we hope to train some of the teams that have more experience in
advanced skills.
It is wonderful to see people that had never done something
like this be able to use puppets and the other skills we taught them to share
the love of God with others. It’s also amazing to see the older students step
up and help train and lead the newer teams. At the beginning of the trip I
feared that after we left the puppet teams would slowly but surely fade. But
now I have seen their love for God and their passion for serving Him, and I
believe that not only will this ministry continue, but also grow significantly. By Alex Milliken
