After witnessing the blessings experienced by both giver and recipient in the incident described in the post above, I contacted our friends Darrell and Sandy Blatchly to see if they still have a need for puppets and vent figures. (Sandy is the Family Circus lead ventriloquist.) Several readers have, in the past, responded to this need. Thank you! The Blatchley's have an amazing ministry to extremely needy families in the Philippines. They have a trained staff of puppeteers and many nationals ready to be trained in the art. But the need is greater than the resources available. I highly recommend this cause, and it's easy to lend the Blatchley's a hand if you have a puppet donation - What a great way to start this New Year! Read on:

Hi Clinton, Thank God for all His blessings. The Family Circus ministry to the children and their families continue to grow. Those calling Family Circus their church home are approaching 7,000. We continue to obey His instructions to feed the poor, feeding thousands of severely malnourished kids each week, bringing in the lame, deaf, widows, orphans. God remains faithful to supply the needs. We do a lot of praying, and though we grieve when we see some young people abandon Him, make wrong choices, and even have their lives snuffed out early, there still remain so many who have their names written in the Lambs book of life.
Donated dummies/puppets both Human & Animal would be would be wonderful gift to the children’s ministry here in Davao City, Philippines. We have a trained team of children workers and the puppets would be given a great home and tender loving care.
