Who's who

Carwyn Arthur

Originally from Llandovery but now living in Pontypridd with my wife, Alicia. Presently a minister in Treorchy. I present the 'Bible Explorer' course and take assemblies in some of the primary schools in the Rhondda area as part of the work of 'Menter Ysgolion Cymraeg'.

Adam Colman

I live in Cardiff with my wife, who's a teacher. I do schools' work for Menter Ysgolion Cymraeg part-time, and manage IT part-time. I've been a Christian since I was twelve, and have always wanted every child to know that they can know Christ even at the age they are, rather than have to wait until they're older. I'm delighted to be able to go into schools and let children know how amazing God is.

Mary Nicholas

Bethan Jenkins

I'm from Glyn-neath, originally, but have lived in Merthyr since the seventies. I'm a member of a chapel in Merthyr and like being part of the Merthyr Welsh-speaking community. I've been presenting Bible Explorer and taking assemblies since 2004. My prayer is for pupils to see that the Bible is:

• not an uninteresting book for old people, but the Word of God for everyone, and
• is full of ordinary people like us that God can use.

I pray that they will come to know God through Jesus Christ, some day. I'm sowing seeds: God owns the harvest. it's a privilege and a pleasure to be able to go and present the Bible and take assemblies.

Brenda Culff

I'm from West Wales originally and moved to Cardiff in 1998 to
take a job as a teacher in a Welsh language primary school. I now live on the outskirts of Cardiff with my husband and attend a church in Cardiff.

I support the work of Menter as I believe it is important for everyone to hear about the goodness and grace of our God and for it to be presented in a creative and relevant manner.

Angharad Ellis (Secretary)

I've been involved with Welsh-medium education for almost all my working life. This year I'm teaching Latin four days a week in Cardiff schools. We've brought up the family (the third of our sons started at college in September) in Cardiff. I've known Gwen for a long time, and when we heard about the possibility of being able to introduce the Christian message in Welsh-medium schools, I was only too glad to offer to help with the administrative side.

Emyr Macdonald

I'm a native of Aberystwyth and came to Cardiff in 1977 and then returned here in 1986 after a time in England. My wife, Elaine, and I have two daughters in their teens, Rachael and Ffion. I lecture in the Physics department of Cardiff University.

Jonathan Popham (Treasurer)

I came to the Lord as a boy of nine. I'm a bank manager and am married with three young sons. I'm excited about all the doors of opportunity that God is opening for Menter's work amongst Welsh-medium schools and how the gospel is being reached to a new generation of children for perhaps the first time.

Huw Pritchard

I'm 43 (but the time flies!). I'm a member of a Welsh-language church in Cardiff. When I saw that God was sending workers to go to explain his work in our Welsh-speaking schools, I thought I had to help in some way! So I'm a trustee! – one who believes in a merciful, righteous, triune God – and I trust in the finished work of Jesus as the only way to the living God. It's a privilege to defend the message of the Gospel in Wales and support this initiative.
