Welsh Awakenings
The Story of God's Work in Wales
Wales is a small country on the western fringe of Great Britain. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, dominated by mountains, and overshadowed by its dominant neighbour England, the spiritual history of Wales has been little known throughout the Christian church more widely. Yet Wales has a rich evangelical heritage, and, from the 18th to 20th Century, seemed unusual in the frequency with which it experienced powerful revivals – outpourings of the Holy Spirit, bringing many souls to Christ.
Join Jonathan Thomas on a journey through the length and breadth of Wales, exploring the history of God’s work in this beautiful country. Discover leaders like Griffith Jones, Daniel Rowland, Thomas Charles, David Morgan and Evan Roberts,
and learn lessons from the past for God’s church today.
Wherever you live in the world, may we be stirred to cry out with Isaiah,
“Oh, that You would rend the heavens, and come down!”
