About Us

We are a group of dedicated Christians from churches across Wales, united by a vision to see God’s Kingdom come here. Our heart is to enable Christian mission in Wales and beyond, support
the discipleship of children, young people, and families, and encourage strategic prayer across the
nation.

Through partnership with churches, Christian organisations, and other groups, we plant and support outreach initiatives, facilitate events and camps and equip leaders of all ages. We are passionate about empowering young people to step into mission and leadership roles, encouraging bilingual approaches to worship and ministry, and resourcing schools and churches through creative projects, training, and the development of resources in both Welsh and English.

Strategic prayer is central to all we do, aligning our work with God’s purposes for Wales. We particularly seek to serve rural areas and to create opportunities for collaboration, including in creative expressions like songwriting.

Our aim is not to build our own reputation, but to work faithfully alongside others to see the Good News of Jesus shared across Wales and to remain open to wherever God may lead.

I enjoy teaching, dark chocolate and strong black coffee. I started my journey with God at 13 years old on a youth camp in Colwyn Bay. God’s love has given me such a full life with the best yet to come. 43:19 Cymru will provide opportunities to share God’s love with others.
