Since 2008, we have partnered with Welsh churches to reach people in their communities for Jesus.
We take a strategic approach.
Equip.
Our main objective is to help churches become equipped to communicate the good news of Jesus in their communities. We want them to know that they are not alone and that their brothers and sisters around the world are helping them and praying for them.
Educate.
In Wales, secular culture and thinking has largely driven out an approach to life that was once guided by Christian principles. Through education we are working hard to renew hearts and minds so that they align with the teachings of Christ once again.
Exemplify.
More than just educating about Christian teachings, we want to make sure we present ourselves as people who exemplify a Christlike identity. We do this by practicing the Fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives so that others can see our works and glorify our Heavenly Father.
Encourage.
The potential for excellence is within each believer. Our desire is to encourage and enhance this potential so that Christians in Wales are prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in their hearts.
Engage.
Today we are more ‘connected’ than ever, and yet many people struggle to engage in good relationships. It is our desire is to partner with churches who want to develop Christlike relationships with those in their communities.
Evangelize.
It is God’s desire to have a meaningful relationship with all His children. We want to assist Welsh churches share this message with people in their communities.
We are proud to stand with our local church partners.
