BUT WHY PUPPETS?
For many people who use puppets in a faith-based setting, the ultimate goal is to spread the amazing news of Jesus. With their non-threatening demeanor, puppets offer a fun and interactive way to share your message with both kids and adults, making it more engaging and memorable. As many puppet enthusiasts have pointed out, "the puppets can get away with saying things that we can't!" They can be funny and entertaining while still delivering a simple and direct message that speaks to the heart. Involving young people in puppetry can also help strengthen their commitment to the church community. Through teamwork and participation in rehearsals and performances, they are more likely to stay involved and even bring their friends along. At the end of the day, using puppets for ministry is an incredible way to connect with people and share the good news in a creative, engaging, and memorable way.

PUPPET MINISTRY IS CHANGING LIVES
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Puppets possess a remarkable ability to captivate people of all ages, making them much more than just a means of entertaining kids or breaking up a speech or sermon.
Don't believe us? Just observe the audience's reactions when the puppets take center stage. It's not just the children who are engaged - it's people of all ages! At One Way UK, we've seen firsthand the incredible impact that puppetry can have across generations. Initially, we were performing at school assemblies, but now we're also bringing our puppets to care homes, where residents, often with dementia, sing along to music whether that's Christmas carols, Dame Vera singing 'we'll meet again' or delight in the antics of a puppet Elvis.
The transformation that puppets can bring to the audience is truly remarkable, leaving both carers and family members in awe. It's all about using the right resources to create an unforgettable experience.

YES, PUPPETS MAY BE OLD BUT NOT OLD FASHIONED...
It is certainly true that the art of puppetry and some forms of puppetry originated some 5,000 years ago, with Punch and Judy first appearing here in the UK in 1662!
But just because it is old, doesn’t mean it is old fashioned. Puppets are as popular as ever.
Just look at how many TV adverts use puppets to get their message across, or how popular puppets still are on children’s TV, and of course, there’s the Muppets… legends! Add to this the opportunity of having a live puppet show, WOW.
