Wales
In Wales, we are passionate about sharing the gospel with young people and partnering with the local church through our different ministry areas.
Cardiff Prayer Week – May 2021
Prayer has power to change everything. From Monday 17 May – Saturday 22 May join us in crying out in prayer for Cardiff, Wales, and revival across the UK.
All week, online prayer meetings will be running each morning and evening for you to log into on the Message Wales Facebook page.
If you’re based in Cardiff or live nearby, Message Wales will be running a prayer room in the city. Open from 8am to 9pm each day there will be space for personal prayer as well as chances for us to join together each morning and evening and be led by a different church or organisation from across the city.
