Hebrews 10:24 Calvary The Brook - Grand Terrace California       has been with Ripples Puppet Ministry since Fall of 2009.  His marriage in 2008, and subsequently, the birth of his son Caleb Gideon in 2009, awoke a passion for reaching children that had (up until then) been largely dormant.  When Director Davies expressed a need for some help with Ripples, Benjamin, and his wife Heather, agreed to lend their aid. While not having extensive training in any one area, Benjamin has displayed talents in areas such as: graphic design, drawing, photo manipulation, prop building, acting, and general computer knowledge and troubleshooting. He has also been known to dabble in fixing and hacking together equipment when he is able. Personally, Benjamin is married to his longtime sweetheart, Heather (also in Ripples).  He also has two wonderful children: Caleb Gideon and Evangeline Abigail.  In addition, he works for an engineering company in Corona, CA as a Computer Aided Drafter / Technician.  He has been extremely blessed to work for a Christian owned company since 2006. For the past 3 years, Benjamin's church home has been Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, where he has been serving there in the children's ministry as a small group leader for 1st and 2nd grade.  Also, Ben has participated in several Men's Ministry bible studies at Calvary Chapel the Brook. While not a regular Sunday morning attendant there, Ben nonetheless considers the men and women at the Brook to be his dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Ben's jobs with Ripples include: setup, puppeteering, live acting, prop building, backstage choreography and comic relief (among others).  Ben's positive attitude and humor are always in large supply, and he likes to share! Ben is willing to do anything that needs doing when it comes to Ripples.  You may not often see him due to his (mostly) backstage responsibilities, but he's there!  Say "Hello" to him sometime! It is Ben's hope that all people, young and old, are richly blessed by Ripples Puppet Ministry. Click thumbnail to enlarge
