Kingdom-Karactors began its puppet and clown ministry in 1989. Our primary goal is to reach children, young and old, and bring Christ into their lives. As a result of many requests, we now sell our own handmade puppets, puppet stages and related accessories. Our Vision:
Our Mission Statement: A
Little of Their History Later that year, she attended a Christian Clown Conference in
Ohio. “I loved it,” Mrs. Blank said. “I was blown away. I came home
and dove into it.” The Blanks feel the response they get from the audience is priceless
and makes their work worthwhile. They perform for every denomination
(or nondenominational) because one of their main goals is to reach the
children. Bonnie said “I believe the children are our future. It
is always amazing to me that God gave us something that is this much fun.”
Bonnie and Jim spend most of their time in puppetry but they still find delight in performing as Happy and Merry Heart Christian clowns. Their goal is to see the ministry grow and to be able to go into more schools for better access to the children. Money they earn from selling their puppets and accessories is used to
help fund their ministry and pay the bills.

Statement of Faith: We
Believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: The Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. We Believe that the bible is God's written
revelation to man and that it is verbally inspired, authoritative and without error in the
original manuscripts. We Believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin
birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily
resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us and his
return to earth in power and glory. We Believe in the personality and the
deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of the new birth in unbelievers and
indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives. We believe that
man was created in the image of God, but because of sin was alienated from God. Only
through faith, can that alienation be removed by trusting in Christ alone for salvation
which was made possible by His death and resurrection.
Bonnie and Jim Blank worked as real estate agents in Delaware and
Maryland in the late 1980's.
Bonnie and other realtors were asked to dress up like a clown during a
real estate convention in 1989. That was when she first became aware of a
Christian clowning ministry that was active in hospitals in Delaware.
After the convention, she contacted Daisy Ding Dong. Daisy was one of the
clowns that was active in church and hospital clowning in the area. The
next day, she performed for a children’s hospital and quickly became
part of the world of clowning.
The following year, they returned to the Christian Clown Conference in
Ohio and purchased 5 puppets. This was the beginning of their careers as
puppeteers. They actually performed a puppet show for an audience of
10,000 people at the end of the show! Their ministry has evolved to be
predominately a puppet ministry by now and their list of puppets have
grown from five to hundreds! They have 7 prepared puppet shows they can
perform and their favorite is the Christmas Show. The show is fast moving
and involves the use of 50 different puppets. See a 
The Blanks now attend Bethesda Church in Hinesville, GA but they still
travel throughout the US for their ministry. They have paraded in the
Disney World Main Street parade, the Hinesville Christmas parade and have
been interviewed by officials with Focus on the Family. They have had
articles written by the Associated Press for nationwide distribution and
recently had a very nice article in the Coastal Courier in
Hinesville, GA.
