Papa speaks in chapel |
|
Johnny is known as Papa to our Grandkids, but he is known to the outside world as String Man. That is because he can do many string tricks and paper tricks, teaching spiritual truths along the way. If he is in a "touchy" area where we can't speak openly about Christ, he adapts these stories to basic life choices everyone can benefit from. While visiting with our kids in Bandung, Indonesia, String Man was invited to BAIS, our grandsons' school, to perform/teach. He amazed the masses!

And Papa, aka String Man, taught the Grandsons one-on-one how to do the tricks and tell the accompanying stories. They are his little disciples. These are great tools to use with kids and adults alike and the opening to share the Gospel. Johnny has used this method in at least 8 countries, including the USA. Our public library at home uses him regularly.
I'm so glad Stringman got to visit all the kids' classes, and chapel too! Their friends will never forget him, I'm sure. I've asked Stringman on his blog to come to Kansas to amaze our masses...still awaiting his reply :).
ReplyDeleteI remember the enjoyment the kids had in Switzerland when he shared the string and paper stories with them.
