Testimonials
Daniel is a what I like to call a “methodical visionary.” He has the creative imagination to dream big, but also has the organizational skills to bring a big vision to life, all the while facilitating others with compassion and contagious energy. As an artist, I have often collaborated with Daniel in worship arts ministry; no matter how large the project or task at hand, I can always count on him for inspiration, collaboration, and seamless execution. Regardless of your church’s specific needs, Daniel will be instrumental in helping you listen faithfully, think creatively, and pursue change gracefully.

Mr. Heath facilitated a musical workshop for the music department at my church and we learned through his presentation the importance of the conductor bringing out the best in the choir. We also learned fundamental singing skills, such has diction and breathing. He would be an asset to any congregation looking to enhance their worship experience.

With Daniel you get the rare combination of visionary and gifted realist. In any community he is invited into, he is always looking for what God might be up to and for new possibilities. He is attuned to both the movement of the Spirit, the dynamics of communities and groups, and the purpose and process of worship. Working with Daniel has always been a pleasure and an opportunity to grow.

Joy is the most appropriate word I can use to describe Daniel. He brings joy to his ministry, to his colleagues, and to every new challenge, but most importantly, he radiates joy for the work God is doing in the world. He is a joy to work with — professional, collaborative, innovative, organized, risk-taker, someone who both listens well and responds with empathy. Colleagues like Daniel are rare and you will only benefit from having him in your midst, even if only for a little while.
