Who We Are.
​
EOS COLLECTIVE is a group of artists of Christian faith. They come alongside churches to support them in their evangelistic outreach to their communities. They use the Creative Arts and the imagination as a bridge to share the Good News to the people of Wales.
EOS is the Welsh name for the Nightingale.
The bird’s uniqueness is that it sings in the night as well as the day.
​​
In May 2024 Lio Cheung joined and established EOS Collective with Lois Adams who already had a small Creative Evangelism ministry in Wales. Together with other artists their projects grew more ambitious and are shown all over Wales. They are both committed to their local church and Morphe Arts Cymru.
​
Some of EOS Artists are supported financially by their local churches, charities, trusts and individuals, whilst other artists are volunteers. We endeavour to offer our services free of charge or at the lowest possible cost. But we would welcome any donations to sustain this ministry.
What We Do.​
​
In the past we’ve been involved in a wide variety of creative projects all around Wales; on a large and small scale; through the medium of Welsh and English; public and personal.

SUPPORT
The desire of EOS Collective is to give everyone the opportunity to hear and know the person of Jesus Christ and the love and forgiveness God offers. EOS Artists do this through discussing life's big questions within our culture and communities, using the Creative Arts and the imagination.
Our aim is to be funded by the church for the church. EOS Collective plans to develop new creative resources, equip and enable churches to present Christ to the people of Wales in gripping and imaginative ways.
Lio and Lois work as Community Artists and Creative Evangelists. They are funded in part by their local churches (Cardiff Welsh Evangelical Church and The Bridge Church, Pontprennau) with the remainder coming through the generous donations of supportive churches, organisation, trusts and individuals. For this reason, Lio and Lois does not charge a set fee for the services she provides. There is a suggested rate of £160 per day (plus travelling expenses), however this is completely voluntary.
We appreciate that every church situation will vary and we wouldn’t want cost to hinder opportunities for evangelism and gospel work, and so you are welcome to give more or less than this, as you are able. For those who wish to partner with EOS Collective and support us on a more regular basis, details can be found here ->
Commendations
"I heartily commend Lois Adams to you. She is a servant hearted, gospel focussed worker for the kingdom. She is bilingual and highly skilled. She is in gospel work for the long haul. I have witnessed her diligence , creativity and willingness to work hard, in a team or on her own, in the service of others, churches (which are not her own) and our needy community. In days when some consider there to be lack of gospel workers we now have the opportunity to support financially and prayerfully someone who God has raised up for this very purpose. "

Planned and curated so professionally, by Lois Adams, and with such enthusiasm and confidence, it was greatly appreciated by all involved with its staging and delivery. The public who attended the exhibition and evening events voiced impressed comments about the whole event and the video and photographic records made by Lois have been subsequently used to continue discussion on this theme which is so relevant in today’s society.
Lois conducted guided tours through the exhibition and these were totally engaging and informative and her pleasant and relaxed approach encouraged discussion and comment from all her groups. During evening events Lois spoke clearly and thoughtfully to large groups which were well attended. I cannot speak more highly of this talented and gifted young woman.

Lois worked with us for 5 months preparing for our church outreach over 4 days at the Hay Book Festival. Thousands of people would be passing our stall and we needed something eye catching and also to potentially draw them in to deeper discussions
Lois was able to develop with us the concept of “belonging” - in geographical location, identity and faith. We had a wonderful exhibition which Lois designed and hung for us and we also were able to give free hot drinks to people as they viewed the exhibition.
Lois was wonderful to work with and was a positive energy in our outreach. She was reflective, taking in our ideas, and was available to check out thoughts we had as a church. Lois took part in a creative way in our 2 church services and remained with us throughout the whole of our 4 outreach days.

"Roeddem yn ddiolchgar iawn o allu cyflwyno ymweliad arddangosfa ‘Merched y Beibl’ fel rheswm a chyfle i amrywiaeth o blant a phobl i ymweld aÌ‚’r capel, nifer ohonynt erioed wedi bod yn yr adeilad o’r blaen. Y caffaeliad mwyaf i’r wythnos yn ddi-os oedd Lois ei hun – ei ffordd agored, hwyliog o siarad efo pawb a’i hawydd i gyflwyno ac arddel ei ffydd ym mhopeth mae’n ei wneud. Amcangyfrifir fod oddeutu 400 wedi dod i weld yr arddangosfa yn ystod ei chyfnod yn y capel. Diolchwn am bob un ohonynt, gan weddïo y bydd ffrwyth i’r hadau a blannwyd."
