Ben is a digital missiologist, ethnomusicologist, and game developer who has spent over 25 years exploring how technology, indigenous art forms, and Scripture can come together to connect meaningfully with people and cultures. Walking alongside indigenous communities across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and learning from their rich cultural expressions, he has supported the preservation of their intangible heritage through ethnography, arts and music production, and training.
Driven by a desire to make the Scriptures meaningful and accessible across generations, Ben leads a video game development company, creating transformational games and interactive experiences for learning. Working with faith-based organisations, he explores culturally sensitive ways of bringing transformational texts to life for a digitally connected generation.
Ben serves on the Global Advisory Council of the Global Ethnodoxology Network and as a Language and Culture Advisor for other organisations. He also contributes to theological education, specialising in ministry in the digital space.
As a Catalyst for Arts, Ben’s heart is to see indigenous artistic expressions and emerging digital technologies come together, opening new pathways for people to encounter and engage with Scripture in ways that are authentic, meaningful, and deeply rooted in their own cultures.
