Mike Jens: 我在海军陆战队服役期间信奉了耶稣基督，这彻底改变了我的人生轨迹。在意大利那不勒斯服役期间，我经历了一次属灵的转变，从此开始阅读圣经，并对上帝的旨意有了更深的认识。起初，我渴望从事传统的牧师工作，但上帝引导我将动画作为我的事工平台。我创作的儿童动画系列《西奥》旨在通过生动有趣的故事情节，向孩子们传授重要的圣经教义，例如称义、成圣以及如何认识耶稣基督。这部动画系列不仅在美国，而且在世界各地帮助儿童学习圣经真理，并对基督产生信心。 Wayne Shepherd: Mike Joens的信仰故事和他的动画作品都非常鼓舞人心。他的经历和《西奥》动画系列向我们展示了如何将信仰融入到日常生活中，并通过创意的方式向他人传扬福音。Mike Joens的动画作品制作精良，内容既具有圣经基础，又充满趣味性，深受家长和孩子们的喜爱。这证明了高质量的基督教作品能够吸引大众，并产生积极的影响。
