Myself and Robbie Booth originally founded Pure Heartbeat Music Ministries 1988 as a support network for New Zealand and Overseas artist coming to New Zealand. Such as Amy Grant, Garth Hewitt, Petra, Stryper, Margaret Becker, and many others
In 1994 Pure Heartbeat change focused and stared to produce and perform home-grown to create family musicals based on the stories of the Biblical musicals with wonderful results.
We are now a non profit Christian based biblical theatre company being made incorporated in 2001.
I have directed and have written eight musicals. ?Esther ? A New Musical? in 1994. In 1997 I re wrote Esther with a friend Rosalind Hershkovitz, who lives in Jerusalem and took that musical to Israel, where I was there 10 weeks. We performed it to very enthusiastic crowds for secular Jewish audiences and Muslim plus at two schools which included a performance to a high school in Jerusalem for troubled youth
and many miracles happened there.
Going to Israel changed my life forever and I came back to New Zealand a completely different person and my faith was challenge so much that a lot of things I had brought up to believe were changed virtually overnight. One example of this was the Shabbat.
In 1998 I wrote and produced a musical on Ruth,Arise My Love, followed by Mr Noah in 1999
In 2002 I helped direct Kathy Hills musical We like Sheep
