Welsh baptists look forward to new youth event

Hopes are clearly running high for an exciting new youth initiative designed by the Baptist Union of Wales (BUW) which plans to host its first event in early February.

‘Esgyn’ (English ‘Ascend’) is the result of a period of discussion, prayer and dialogue between a variety of individuals within the BUW who share a concern for young people and want to see more provision for them across Wales.

Tim Moody (see photo), current president and a former youth worker, has said: ‘For the past year or so, God has been stirring a passion within me and a few others within the Baptist Union of Wales to see how we can provide for the young people of our churches. As we have sought God’s face with open hearts and hands, we are excited to begin to share with you the results of much prayer and work’.
