-Tonight we'll meet two prominent

-women in the Christian faith today.

0:00:410:00:47

-One leads the Christian Union

-at Bangor University...

0:00:470:00:51

-..and the other is a former prison

-chaplain facing a new challenge.

0:00:510:00:56

-We'll also hear performances

-by soprano Llio Evans...

0:00:570:01:01

-..and Elin Fflur.

0:01:010:01:03

-The congregational singing comes

-from Rhos-y-Gad Chapel, Llanfair PG.

0:01:070:01:12

-We begin with

-O Am Gael Ffydd I Edrych.

0:01:120:01:15

-My name's Elin Bryn Williams,

-I'm 20 years old.

0:03:130:03:16

-I'm studying Welsh

-at Bangor University.

0:03:160:03:19

-I was brought up in Bala

-but now live in Pwllheli.

0:03:190:03:23

-I was brought up in a Christian

-household. My parents are religious.

0:03:230:03:27

-It was natural for us to read the

-Bible and pray in our daily lives.

0:03:280:03:32

-I had the privilege

-of knowing God from an early age.

0:03:320:03:36

-Going to university has seen

-my faith flourish considerably...

0:03:380:03:44

-..because I've had to stand

-on my own two feet as a Christian...

0:03:440:03:49

-..rather than rely

-on my parents' faith.

0:03:500:03:53

-Being a Christian

-is important in any environment...

0:03:530:03:57

-..but it's great at university

-because you know you're not alone.

0:03:570:04:02

-It can be a very lonely place.

0:04:020:04:05

-The Christian Union at university

-is a supportive network.

0:04:050:04:11

-It's a society where we can

-share our faith and God's love...

0:04:110:04:15

-..with people in a natural way...

0:04:150:04:18

-..whilst gaining the support

-of fellow students.

0:04:180:04:21

-I hope we're able

-to reach out to Welsh students...

0:04:210:04:25

-..as the Christian Union...

0:04:250:04:27

-..and embrace local churches...

0:04:280:04:30

-..since there are few Welsh-speaking

-Christians at university.

0:04:310:04:36

-I hope during Freshers' Week that we

-can offer alternative activities...

0:04:360:04:41

-..to demonstrate

-our support and love.

0:04:410:04:44

-Next, a performance

-by a young girl from Llanfair PG.

0:06:470:06:51

-Soprano Llio Evans is on the brink

-of a successful career...

0:06:510:06:55

-..having graduated from

-Dennis O'Neill's Academy of Voice.

0:06:550:06:59

-She's currently performing

-on stages right across Britain.

0:06:590:07:03

-She performs today in the music room

-at Plas Newydd on the Menai.

0:07:040:07:08

-# When life's

-long pilgrimage is past

0:07:170:07:25

-# And we with griefs have strived

0:07:250:07:32

-# How soothing to the wounded heart

0:07:330:07:39

-# The healing balm

-these words impart

0:07:390:07:48

-# We soon shall rest

0:07:490:07:54

-# We soon shall rest

0:07:540:07:59

-# We soon shall rest

0:07:590:08:06

-# We soon shall rest in heaven

0:08:070:08:15

-# The name of loved ones

-thither gone

0:08:250:08:31

-# Upon are hearts are graven

0:08:320:08:38

-# Who now from every trouble free

0:08:380:08:45

-# No pain, no cross again shall see

0:08:460:08:54

-# To mar

0:08:550:09:00

-# To mar

0:09:000:09:04

-# To mar

0:09:040:09:09

-# To mar the praise of heaven

0:09:100:09:19

-# When shall the vision

-of that place

0:09:280:09:34

-# To this sad heart be given?

0:09:340:09:41

-# O, God, my Saviour, Father, Friend

0:09:420:09:48

-# An ear to this petition lend

0:09:480:09:57

-# Prepare my soul

0:09:580:10:03

-# Prepare my soul

0:10:030:10:08

-# Prepare my soul

0:10:080:10:14

-# Prepare my soul for heaven #

0:10:150:10:28

-Next is a hymn about God's goodness,

-sung by the Rhos-y-Gad congregation.

0:10:330:10:39

-JC Job knew only too well

-about bereavement.

0:10:390:10:42

-He lost his wife

-and three of his children.

0:10:420:10:45

-The hymn expresses the comfort

-the hymnwriter found in God.

0:10:450:10:49

-"Ar yrfa bywyd yn y byd

-A'i throeon enbyd hi

0:10:490:10:54

-"O ddydd i ddydd

-addawodd ef oleuni'r nef i ni."

0:10:540:10:59

-For years, Rev Nan Powell Davies

-has worked as a chaplain...

0:12:550:12:59

-..in a prison.

0:13:000:13:01

-Nowadays, she's involved

-in another interesting project.

0:13:020:13:06

-I worked at Altcourse Prison

-in Liverpool as a chaplain...

0:13:080:13:12

-..to Welsh-speaking prisoners...

0:13:120:13:15

-..because Northwalian men

-were imprisoned there.

0:13:160:13:19

-I worked there for eight years.

0:13:190:13:22

-I look upon that time

-as a huge privilege...

0:13:240:13:28

-..to be with people at the most

-vulnerable time in their lives.

0:13:290:13:34

-I left the prison three years ago.

0:13:380:13:40

-I now work as a life and witness

-officer for the Presbyterian Church.

0:13:410:13:45

-If working in a prison

-was a challenge...

0:13:460:13:49

-..this job

-is even more challenging...

0:13:490:13:51

-..because we're facing a stark

-deterioration in our churches.

0:13:510:13:57

-Conversely, I also think

-it's a very exciting time...

0:13:570:14:01

-..to be in this job.

0:14:010:14:03

-My job revolves

-around the church's mission...

0:14:030:14:06

-..to spread the gospel.

0:14:070:14:08

-How do we live by the gospel?

0:14:090:14:11

-How do we embark on ventures

-that aren't traditional...

0:14:120:14:16

-..and don't only focus on

-maintaining the few who are left?

0:14:160:14:21

-Instead, we want to focus

-on something new and exciting...

0:14:210:14:25

-..that reaches people...

0:14:250:14:27

-..and makes the gospel

-relevant to people's lives.

0:14:270:14:32

-I know that many of Dechrau Canu

-Dechrau Canmol's viewers...

0:14:360:14:40

-..are loyal members of churches...

0:14:400:14:43

-..and are disheartened

-by the deterioration in Wales.

0:14:430:14:47

-They think, "Well, if I

-don't do something, who will?"

0:14:470:14:52

-They may have even lost the desire

-to do it themselves.

0:14:520:14:56

-We have to show initiative,

-we have to pray...

0:14:560:15:01

-..and we have to share

-the little we have left.

0:15:010:15:04

-It's our mission in life.

0:15:040:15:08

-Matthew 28 tells us, "Go!"

0:15:080:15:11

-He doesn't say, "Stay here

-and do that which is nice and safe."

0:15:120:15:15

-He urges us to find disciples.

0:15:150:15:18

-# Bless the Lord, oh, my soul

0:15:350:15:39

-# Oh, my soul

0:15:390:15:43

-# Worship his holy name

0:15:430:15:47

-# Sing like never before

0:15:490:15:54

-# Oh, my soul

0:15:540:15:58

-# I'll worship your holy name

0:15:580:16:03

-# The sun comes up

0:16:050:16:08

-# It's a new day dawning

0:16:080:16:12

-# It's time to sing your song again

0:16:120:16:19

-# Whatever may pass

0:16:190:16:22

-# And whatever lies before me

0:16:220:16:26

-# Let me be singing

0:16:280:16:30

-# When the evening comes

0:16:310:16:35

-# Bless the Lord, oh, my soul

0:16:360:16:40

-# Oh, my soul

0:16:400:16:43

-# Oh, my soul

0:16:530:16:57

-# I'll worship your holy name

0:16:570:17:01

-# You're rich in love

0:17:040:17:08

-# And you're slow to anger

0:17:080:17:11

-# Your name is great

0:17:110:17:14

-# And your heart is kind

0:17:150:17:18

-# For all your goodness

0:17:190:17:21

-# I will keep on singing

0:17:210:17:26

-# Ten thousand reasons

0:17:280:17:30

-# For my heart to find

0:17:300:17:35

-# Bless the Lord, oh, my soul

0:17:350:17:39

-# Oh, my soul

0:17:400:17:43

-# Worship his holy name

0:17:440:17:48

-# Sing like never before

0:17:500:17:54

-# Oh, my soul

0:17:540:17:57

-# I'll worship your holy name

0:17:570:18:02

-# And on that day

0:18:040:18:07

-# When my strength is failing

0:18:080:18:12

-# The end draws near

0:18:130:18:15

-# And my time has come

0:18:150:18:18

-# Still my soul will sing

0:18:200:18:23

-# Your praise unending

0:18:230:18:26

-# Ten thousands years

0:18:290:18:31

-# And then forevermore

0:18:310:18:35

-# Bless the Lord

0:18:360:18:40

-# Oh, my soul

0:18:400:18:43

-# Oh, my soul

0:19:070:19:10

-# I'll worship your holy name

0:19:100:19:16

-# Sing like never before

0:19:160:19:20

-# Oh, my soul

0:19:210:19:24

-# I'll worship your holy name

0:19:270:19:31

-# I'll worship your holy name #

0:19:350:19:46

-I want to thank God for the strength

-he gives us as individuals...

0:19:560:20:00

-..through the holy spirit.

0:20:000:20:02

-I'm asking if he'll

-give universities more strength...

0:20:020:20:07

-..so that we can

-see his spirit working...

0:20:070:20:10

-..and that people realize
