The God Squad
Preface by Ben Framstad; Post by Pam Leonard
Did you know that Wooster Grace Brethren Church has a puppet ministry team? The God Squad is an actively involved ministry that travels domestically to reach people for Jesus through the medium of puppets, drama, and music. Lately, they've done a lot. We asked Pam Leonard, founder and leader of The God Squad to share a few thoughts from their ministry this past fall and Christmas.Our first program was for fall fun fest.We did a 15 min. program in the middle school room. I was glad we got the middle school room, because, usually, we are so crowded. People were standing in the hallway trying to see the program. Next year we will have a longer program.Christmas is my favorite time with the kids on the team. We have such fun programs.This year we did a lot of new things. We did our first black light painting, and it was well received. In addition to that, we were challenged by Nick to do a black light hand performance.This took a lot of time and creativity by the team (see video above). We even took suggestions from some of the parents who watch us practice every week. I think getting imput from a lot of different people gave the God Squad a lot of success. I figure we can only get better from here on out.Our first performance for Christmas was at the Haven of Rest in Akron. It is the best audience in the world! The crowd is a mix of people and children from the inner city and those staying at the Haven. We have gone up to the Haven for four years in a row, and it is a wonderful ministry. It is such an honor for our team to be invited back.The next program was for Mountain Vision. The God Squad has helped deliver toys, food, clothing and the Gospel. I said the Gospel last, not because the other things are more important, but because it is really hard to share the Love of Christ without SHOWING it first.We had a scare this year. One of our Vans got separated from the other on the way down to Rosedale, WV. It was M.I.A. for two of the longest hours of my life. I called the Sheriff office - no accidents reported. I was just getting ready to call Nick at 2:00am and tell him half the students and four adults were missing. Then the van arrived. You see, in WV there is no cell phone reception; not even a little. The roads are narrow and the deer run along the side of your car, so there is a lot to watch for when you drive down to Rosedale. When all the kids filed into the church the next morning for their presents, cookies and the Gospel, I realized it was so worth the drive and the risk.I once had a missionary tell me, "Where ever you are, if you are in the Holy Spirit's will for your life, you will be protected." I should have remembered that when the van came up missing. I'm so glad that God is so merciful and kind and that He first loved us. It makes it so easy to love others no matter where they come from.Thanks for all the support of the Church. The God Squad is 10 years old.
