Meet the Training Team
Cam is a skilled puppeteer who began performing at just six years old, performing in church, overseas missions and many professional film projects. Puppet ministry has taken him around the world. He’s passionate about training others to use puppets to connect with audiences of all ages to share the Gospel.
Ian started his Church puppet team in 1998, With over 20 members they have a busy programme leading outreach in churches, schools, and care homes. He coordinates international missions and, with 30+ years of experience, his aim is to inspire others to use creativity in sharing the Gospel.
But why puppets?
For years, puppets have captivated audiences through TV series, movies, advertisements, and marketing campaigns, leaving a lasting impression with their entertaining and visually memorable presence. At One Way UK, we have led the way in pioneering puppetry as a dynamic, engaging, and powerful medium to teach and share the Gospel, both in the UK and across the globe.
Puppets possess a unique quality - contrary to popular belief they are not just for kids, they are incredibly effective tools that open doors to various settings. They offer you the opportunity to connect with schools, care homes, prisons, community events, and, of course, find their special place within churches. The international popularity of puppetry serves as a testament to its universal appeal and its ability to bridge diverse communities.
