... Welsh revival

We got up early on Saturday November 9th, for our Location Learning trip to Wales.



The day started with a beautiful sunrise as we left at 7:15.
We arrived in Llanelli, Antioch Church Centre at 11:30 or so. http://www.antiochchurch.co.uk/

Karen Lowe, the Pastor, gave us an inspiring talk about the Welsh Revival of 1904/05 and the impact upon the women and children. She has made a DVD of the story and written a book, "Carriers of Fire - The Women of the Welsh Revival 1904/05".

After an excellent lunch at their cafe, we drove over to Loughor to Moriah Chapel, the home church of Evan Roberts who was instrumental in that Revival.


There is a memorial to him and on one of the sides, is written:

Dear Friend, God loves you. Therefore, Seek Him Diligently, Pray to Him Earnestly, Read His Word Constantly, Yours in the Gospel, Evan Roberts

He would leave leaving cards with these words upon making personal visits.

Lovely Bethan gave a great talk about the life and times of Evan Roberts and R gave an excerpt from one of Evan Roberts sermons. There were quite a few tears shed.
