Wales: aim of 100  new churches

Ben & Lois Franks

A new initiative called Cant i Gymru has the ambitious aim of seeing 100 healthy churches planted in Wales within the next decade.

Cant i Gymru (meaning ‘100 for Wales’ in English) is ‘a collective of gospel friends’ from across the world and Wales. According to their website, they are ‘believing God for a fresh wave of missional planting in Cymru’, and aim to do this by providing pastoral support, uniting in prayer, and equipping and sending out church planters.

It’s still early days for the collective; their website went live on 25 September this year, and they officially launched with a prayer night on 21 October. However, they have five backing churches and will be supported by charity Waleswide Cymrugyfan for the next two years. Already, they are working with eight church plants and have been approached by six people interested in planting a church.
