"Your...video was a winner with all my kids! David watched it twice! I knew they'd love the tune. And the words just made them laugh. Haley wants to imitate it for the Spanish church!"

So much fun! My kids really enjoyed the show, too.

"We are blessed to have known Larry & Vonnie Pratt for many years and are pleased that they are willing to come to our family events with their puppet ministry. Using their musical talent and wonderful creativity, Country Lovin’ Puppets presents a tender approach to deliver a powerful message. Their program is fun for all ages! Can’t wait to have them back!"

"It was wonderful to work with you and the puppets again this year at Shiloh Bible Camp. I am always surprised and delighted at the way you work the camp, the leaders and the speaker into the dialogue with one of the puppets and Mr. “Splat or Sprat, or whoever.” Those routines make the presentation very real and personal which makes the overall Biblical message come close to home for the audience. A look around will find the entire audience glued to the action. The only distraction I personally find is watching the children enjoy the show and they really do. May God richly bless you as you and The Country Lovin’ Puppets as you continue in ministry."
-Tex and Mary Newman
"From beginning to the end, Vonnie, Larry and their lovable puppets captivated the attention and hearts of their audience. In our group we had a wide variety of ages from baby to grandparent and it was fun to see everyone laughing, smiling and singing along. Thank you for sharing your gifts and ministry with others."

"What a blessing to have Larry and Vonnie Pratt serving on our church's ministry team these many years. They have servant hearts and a genuine love for our Savior that overflows from their lives. They serve weekly on our church music team, except when they are called on to do puppet ministry in children's church, or are called away to minister in other churches. They both sing and play several different instruments. Larry also leads our music team when our other leader is away.
Larry is a great resource for me for pulpit supply, and he is an excellent communicator of God's Word. God has laid it on their hearts to give themselves more fully to Christian ministry, perhaps even serving full time as God may direct.
I encourage you to give them a call if you need pulpit supply, someone to lead your music some Sunday, would like them to put on a children's puppet program for Sunday school, children's church or special event. By the way, parents love their puppet shows almost as much as the kids do."
