Welsh evangelicals are getting ready to ask passers-by for ‘three words to describe their life’ as they seek to share the gospel at some of the country’s most popular festivals.
Believers are due to be reaching out at the Hay Festival (25–29 May), the Royal Agricultural Show in Builth Wells (24–27 July) and the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Boduan (5–12 August).
The Evangelical Movement of Wales website says: ‘Each team will have an experienced leader who will lead a team of Christians in a sensitive and effective way to share the good news of Jesus. This will be done by holding talks, offering refreshments, questionnaires, demonstrations, sharing materials and praying. Our theme this year is Life: What’s Your Story? and we will be encouraging people to think of three words to describe their life.’
It adds: ‘The work has three main objectives: Firstly, it is important that we as Christians participate and support major national events in order to be the salt and light of our country.
‘Secondly, it is an opportunity to support the churches of Wales by providing training and an opportunity for Christians to share their faith with others. We pray that talent and confidence will be built up and returned to the local situation for the daily use of churches.
‘Finally, it is an opportunity to share the gospel with thousands of lost souls who have no connection with a chapel or a Christian.’
