His name is Bruce Barry! He learned everything he knows from his father, Dick Barry, a cartoonist for Walt Disney. Bruce began drawing and designing as soon as he was old enough to pick up a pencil. As a young boy he honed his skills by painting window murals for small businesses in his neighborhood.

Illustrations, sculptures, video animation… it didn’t matter which medium. He used whatever artistic means necessary to create the most intriguing, exciting environments possible. Bruce has been using his amazing gift of design artistry to create themed attractions and environments to inspire the nation.

Then one day Bruce got a call from a children’s pastor. He had NEVER stepped foot into a church. The pastor asked Bruce to hone his powerful skill on the church. “Use that “Disney-like skill and excellence for the church,” the pastor asked.

So, Bruce did! The pastor was so thrilled and affirmed Bruce so much that he began to trust this pastor. Long story short…the pastor told Bruce about Jesus. Bruce knew that he needed something, he was empty. His design wowed people everywhere he went, but that didn’t seem enough. The pastor asked Bruce if he was interested in the ONE thing that could give him meaning and significance.

“Yes!” Bruce said.

And that began a complete change from the inside out. Part of that change was that Bruce wanted to take his skill, his creativity, his vision and make a difference in the Kingdom of God.

He turned his creative energy on the church and the rest is history!

Wacky world is coming to Fairhaven Church to create such an excitement for kids that church is fun, creative, exciting and full of imagery that draws us right to the creator of all fun and creativity - God himself.

I asked Bruce if he would help Fairhaven reach more kids, and he said…No Worries!
