Pioneering in Pembrokeshire: reaching Welsh-speakers

After months of prayer, a small group has boldly begun a new monthly service in Haverfordwest – delivered entirely in the Welsh language.

Described as a missional project rather than a church, the initiative (called ‘Rhywd y Brenin’ meaning the ‘net of the King’), was begun by seven people with a desire to better share the gospel with Welsh speakers across Pembrokeshire. They launched the first service on 6 October in Emmanuel Christian Centre in Merlins Bridge, and were delighted to welcome in 22 adults and eight children.

Since October, the group have been encouraged to see new faces each month. The majority came from seeing adverts on social media – a large number are already Christians but keen to worship in Welsh, while others have no current connection to church but were once interested in their youth.
