We often see and hear about awe-inspiring examples of people doing things for the Gospel, reaching millions of people and causing miraculous transformations. Yet from preaching in front of millions, to making supper for after a church service, there are vast array of creative roles that are valuable and needed.
Focusing on Mal Heap, a puppeteer and creative jack of all trades, we explore how he has used his gifts in a multitude of ways. Yet each of the 5 episodes focus not just on one person's unique gifting, but on different biblical principles that you can apply today.
