Felipe
Yanez, a mission partner in Britian, who is jointly
sponsored by CMS and SAMS, works among the communities of Sparkhill
in Birmingham. |
Originally from Chile, Felipe, a youth worker, works with youngsters from
various ethnic backgrounds - Pakistani and Yemeni, for example - in two
local youth clubs.
He also uses a puppet show to tell Bible stories to audiences in churches
and schools and to passers-by in local high streets, shopping malls and
occasionally, an open-air market.
Puppet Mundo, as Felipe has named his show, has had a lot of media attention.
It was covered in a news item on BBC News 24 and was mentioned in a two-paged
article in The Times. His show was also an important feature
at the CMS venue at last years Greenbelt.
Puppet Mundo aims to share the Gospel in a fun way, mainly through song.
In addition, Felipe has undertaken the training of teenagers to become
'puppeteers for Jesus'. "These puppeteers, when they graduate,
will be part of my legacy to St John's Church and to the local community
in Sparkhill", said Felipe.
