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.
YOUTH NIGHTS
Every term, we run YOUTH NIGHTS events where young people from different churches all across South Wales gather together to connect, worship, pray, hear inspiring stories from their peers about what God’s doing in their lives, and. encourage each other in their evangelism. We’d love your young people to come along to our next event on 10 May 2024.
