Silas Nfor, Director of Victory Vision Puppet Ministry, asked me again to work with the team to help with a program on January 19, 2014 in Yaounde. He also asked me to help them broaden their ministry, including his vision of Christian and moral education on Yaounde television.
With an already heavily committed schedule, I introduced to the team Holly Emmerich, talented singer and actress with far more performing experience than I. Holly grew up traveling around the world with Christian drama parents who now own The Rocky Hock Playhouse, a live Christian musical theatre. I suggested that Holly be the coach and I serve occasionally as a consultant / assistant. I agreed to helping with the January 19th hour-long program at the International Christian Church of Yaounde as a puppeteer and with balloon sculpture, paper cutting, ventriloquism segments thus adding variety to the program and giving the other puppeteers short breaks.
