Children's Church Puppet Ministry

. . . for Kids 5-12yrs
Puppeteers 13-Adult

Kids of all ages enjoy the KJV Bible based lessons learned each week!

The backyard is full of excitement and fun learning experiences!

Has the parents' Seal of Approval since 2001!

Younger kids participate while older kids love operating the puppets!

Featuring . . . 

Wilson and the Praise Pals are the "puppet kids" that gather in the backyard each week and learn God's lessons with the neighborhood "human kids" who come to children's church! All kids interact with Wilson and the Praise Pals, singing with them, talking with them and helping each other grow in God's love together with the wholesome happenings in the backyard! There is even a tree house!

Backyard Adventures is not a "puppet show" for kids to watch; it is a place where the kids become part of what happens each week in the backyard with Wilson and the Praise Pals! There is no other children's church puppet ministry of its kind! It's like going back in time to the days of "Spanky and Our Gang" and the life-long friendships and experiences that kids had decades ago!

All episodes are exclusive and originated through prayer and the help of God. Susan Romanov always tells everyone that God is the creator and author of each episode . . . Susan only follows His direction.

WHAT WE DO

We are invested in helping kids make KJV Bible-based choices

We are not a church and we do not want to take kids or families away from their home church. Because Backyard Adventures in Christ with Wilson and the Praise Pals has stood the test of time [from churches using the ministry, to taking it to multiple YWCA kids programs each week, to being featured on stage at the Historic Tennessee Theater as part of a statewide graduation for homeschoolers] and the purpose has not changed. Kids need to study God's Word, know that Jesus loved them so much that He died for their sins and will save them, and gain the wisdom to survive in the backyard of life. Best of all, it is fun!

All episodes are based on the KJV Bible without compromise and are not specific to any particular religion or denomination. A parent or guardian must accompany their children and if the truth be told, they seem to enjoy the experience each time they attend right along with their kids!

If you would like to participate with us and operate a puppet during our episodes, please email for more information.

If you homeschool your kids and would like to include our episodes in your curriculum or you would like to have your kids attend our episodes in person, please email us! 

If you would like to use our episodes in your church ministry, please email us.

"Love these kids! I started writing children's object lesson books for church services in the early 90's and when the first LOVE89 Family Christian Conference took place in Knoxville, TN in 1993 for area families, Wilson and the Praise Pals came to life on the conference stage for kids. Since 2001, Backyard Adventures in Christ Children's Church is the ultimate live interactive hour-long worship and spiritual growth experience for kids with puppets, singing and life-related lessons." -Susan Romanov

The kids pictured here are some of the actual kids who participated in helping make Backyard Adventures in Christ with Wilson and the Praise Pals extra-special in the early days. Carlos [holding blue card] was 10 years old and ran sound behind the scenes and managed the puppeteer scripts. Today they are grown with their own families and still call "Ms. Susan" to keep in touch periodically. What a blessing!
