Mascots on a Mission

Puppets and the Mission of God

Kids of all ages love puppets.  Even non-professional puppeteers can attract an audience and use the experience as a learning opportunity for kids and adults alike.

The Mascots on a Mission Program sends puppets all over the world to find out what God is doing to build his church and extend his kingdom.  The puppets send emails, pictures, and videos back to the church or school to report on what missionaries and national pastors and church leaders and Christians all over the world are doing to spread the gospel and to help improve people's lives.  In this way kids can learn about the amazing diversity of God's world and come to love people of different cultures and backgrounds.  They can develop a passion for God's mission to his world and become involved in that mission in personal ways.
