A new series exploring Jesus’ parables in fresh and dynamic ways…
Jesus’ parables are some of best and most famous stories ever told. He used the things and people of everyday life to teach us about God and his kingdom. And yet over-familiarity or cultural differences can often mean we miss the force and challenge of the story. This series uses film to bring the parables to life and show us what they mean for us today.
The series will launch in waves over time, with the first two waves coming in January and Summer 2025 respectively. Wave one is fully funded, but we’re just starting raising funds for wave 2.

with Amy Orr-Ewing and David Bennett
We’re excited to be working with Amy and David, who will be presenting alongside our Ministry Director David Ingall.
We’ll be exploring some of the “big questions” of life, and how in Genesis 1-3 we find many of God’s answers.
If you’ve ever wondered, how should I live my life? What does it mean to be human? Do I matter? Is sex a good thing? What about gender? Is this world essentially good or bad or both? Where does God fit into it all?, then we hope you’ll join the conversation.
We’ve begun work on scripts and content, and hope to raise enough funds to start filming summer 2025, launching early 2026.
How is my gift actually used?
Last year 93% of all our spending was on the costs of making and sharing content (calculated from our Annual Report and Accounts) - the rest is then spent on boring but important things like insurance, office costs, safeguarding, marketing and banking.

If we don’t reach our fundraising targets for a new series we simply wait until we do before the cameras start rolling. We are very unlikely to raise too much for any particular series, as we keep a close eye on our fundraising and stop our campaigns as soon as we reach our target. If we do have a small surplus, or the series costs less than anticipated, then any small excess will go towards the next series.

When we launched Burning Heart at the start of 2022, we set some specific and measurable goals that we hoped to achieve by the summer of 2023. We assessed our performance against those goals (and others) at the end of August 2023, and you can find out how we did here.
A Big “Thank You” to our international givers…
We are so blessed by the generosity of those who give towards our ministry - we couldn’t do it without you! We usually try to write and say ‘thank you’ to everyone who gives, but didn’t realise that our new international giving partner cannot pass on contact details - we’ve now added a form ourselves, but that means those who have given over the past year have had no ‘thanks’ or acknowledgement. We are so sorry - and very very grateful! Thank you! if you were one of those givers, do get in touch and we’d love to say thanks!
