Wales
In Wales, we are passionate about sharing the gospel with young people and partnering with the local church through our different ministry areas in prisons, schools and communities.
To connect with young people, the Message Bus goes around Wales providing a great way for churches to engage young people with the gospel in a fun way, our LIFT events encourage young people in their walk with Jesus, in Tremorfa our Eden team has been running for four years leading youth groups, discipleship sessions and building community in the area.
Each week, our prison teams run Alpha and discipleship courses to support young offenders and share the gospel and we also have a heart to share the love of Jesus with the most vulnerable on the streets. Through our Street Pastors and Night Base teams, we take to the streets of Cardiff every weekend to assist people who need help and to share the love of Jesus in every opportunity.
WILD Youth Tours
Want to bring a night young people won’t forget to your church and community? Then WILD is the answer.
Combining fun and high-energy activities with the gospel, games and giveaways, WILD is a great way to reach out into your community and connect with young people.
Planned in partnership with you, your WILD event will bring activities tailored to your community and venue to you. These could range from VR headsets and laser tag to zorbs and crazy golf. But WILD is about more than one night.
