About Us:

I'm the founder of Hear the Heart Ministries. I have a BA in Christian Ministries from Messiah College and while in school I found my calling in Children's Ministry. I am passionate about children learning who God is and about His love. I love using a variety of mediums that engage children. I have a popular puppet ministry called the Barnyard Bunch. Puppets can be used in worship services as a special Children's Moment or they can be used in Sunday school. I enjoy working with pastors to ensure the puppet scripts go along well with the sermon and theme of the day when used in the worship service. I offer children's Sunday school videos and curriculum that are volunteer friendly and easy to use.

This ministry would not be made possible without the help of some wonderful people:

Rick John (My Dad) Built my puppet stages and is always thinking of ways to enhance them.

Sharon John (My Mom) Never would she have dreamed to be sewing puppet curtains and special costumes for my puppets!

Stephen Gallaher: You gave me my first puppet and I would not be where I am today without the start you gave me and the support along the way.

Cody Stoneroad Media Arts & Animation: Thank you for providing me a fantastic logo!
