Love Wales

About our ministry

Love Wales is run by a group of people who have a heart felt desire to reach Wales and the nations with the Love of God. We are are not the only ones who want to do this but our desire is that, as a result of what we are doing, a significant number will hear the Good News that God loves them and has a plan for their lives!

We are an Evangelical mission organisation who believe that the Holy Spirit is still at work in the church today through ordinary Christians. Our vision is for the re-evangelisation of Wales over the next 10 years by working across denominations, lifting up the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

We develop evangelists by providing resources including: prayer support, people to help with evangelistic activities, evangelistic training and evangelism mentoring that will help large or small evangelistic initiatives to reach towns, villages and communities across Wales, hosting and supporting missions that will reach communities.

We also raise up prayer warriors and those with other gifts who will provide practical support and encouragement to evangelise Wales.

We work in partnership with churches in their local area. Love Wales is part of the Evangelical Alliance.

what we believe

Our statement of faith

We are an Evangelical mission organisation who believe that the Holy Spirit is still at work in to the church today through ordinary Christians.

The Fundamental Truths explain our theology and are a statement of faith – they are powerful, non-negotiable and guide all we say and do. They can be summarised as follows:

The Bible

We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The Trinity

We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.

The Saviour

We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and His second advent to receive His Church.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.

Mankind

We believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since the Fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

Salvation

We believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.

The Church

We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and that these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.

The Ministry

We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.

The Ordinances

We believe in the baptism of believers in water in obedience to the command of Christ and the commemoration of Christ’s death by the observance of the Lord’s Supper until His return.

The Commission

We believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the Gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.

The Coming King

We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.

The Future State

We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
