I had a couple of very good and instructive opportunities during the month of September. First, we had a site team from Dawson Baptist Church in Alabama to visit with us. We’re planning for them to bring a large youth choir (about 150 people, including adults) to North Wales in summer 2023. It’s a huge project, but we’re very excited about it.

Here are a few things related to the work of the Ministry, as a whole.
