Over the summer months many missions and gospel events are going on all over the country. One such outreach by students from Cardiff University went on into July and took place in the Rhondda Valley.
Wales has seen great days for the gospel in years gone by, but now things are different. For some time students from Cardiff Christian Union have had a burden to evangelise the valleys of South Wales and have set up a group called Revive to reach out. During term time a number of them go up to the valleys each week to work in youth clubs based in local churches in the area.
This summer, for the second year, a special three-week mission was organised from June 17 to July 7. The first week was for training and, as part of that, the students studied the epistle of Romans with the help of invited ministers, which gave a good grounding in the gospel. Then the two weeks of outreach began in the towns of Cymmer and Tonypandy, working alongside local pastor Keith Day of Rhondda Apostolic Mission, Cymmer, and Pastor Dave Jones of Bethel Bush Free Mission (FIEC) in Tonypandy.
