Daniel Pajuelo is a young Spanish priest who is an expert on innovative ways in which to talk about God. He has written rap songs and teaches at a school in Madrid.

One day, he was playing the popular computer game ‘Minecraft’ with his 6-year-old nephew, when it occurred to him that the game could be used as a tool to teach the faith to 12-year-old students in religion classes.
