Flannel Graphs

Kim and Melissa Bingham

Jeremy and Melissa Bingham started H.O.M.E. T.E.A.M.S. (Helping Our Missionaries Excel, Teaching Everyone About Missions Support). They are Missionaries in support of Independent Fundamental Baptist Missions work.

Their sending Church is Bible Baptist Church of Rendon, Texas.

Their main thrust is to see lost people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  They  want to support Missionaries through special projects. They also want to encourage Missionaries through friendship. Another benefit is that they teach and encourage Churches and Christians to care for their Missionaries.

Kim and I drove to Bible Baptist Church to pick up several sets of flannel graphs that H.O.M.E. T.E.A.M.S. raised the money for and bought. They asked for donations for the flannel graphs and people gave. Melissa also had a cutting party ; where people volunteered to help cut out the characters.

The flannel graphs will be used in our ministries in Ecuador. They always draw a crowd.

A few years ago Mauricio and I went to a city in  Ecuador searching for a young boy. We found him and set up our flannel graph on a refrigerator outside of someones home. As Mauricio was telling the Bible story using the flannel graph a crowd began to gather around us. Adults, teens and children all listened intently. There were around 60 people listening and watching by the time we were through.
 I do not remember how many were saved that day, but it was exciting.

We want to thank H.O.M.E. T.E.A.M.S., the people who donated money for the flannel graphs and the people who donated time to cut out the hundreds of flannel graph characters and scenery.
