October 20 saw the first gathering of Calon
Lân at Rhiwbina Baptist Church in Cardiff.
After several months of praying together,
the group launched the new Welsh language
missional community. Cardiff’s population currently stands at 350,000 and is rising.
More than 10% of its residents speak the
Welsh language and this new group hopes to
reach out to the tens of thousands of speakers who have little or no connection with
any church.
