Ireland is beautiful
from a physical standpoint; but spiritually, the country is bleak. The church is mired in centuries of religiosity, politics, and turmoil and is quickly being deserted. In the face of rapid economic growth, materialism is quickly filling the vacuum. Yet there’s a great spiritual hunger—a hunger for authentic faith, for real grace, for hope.
Our Vision:
- Irish and American servants who are becoming Christ-dependent, Spirit-empowered and passionate for the Kingdom of God—at home and abroad
- An incarnational community where the gospel is lived out as an authentic witness to what we say we believe about forgiveness, unity, and redemption
- Ordinary individuals who aren’t afraid to ask the question, “What does it look like to lay down my life?”
- Believers who set aside their own cultural trappings in order to see the beauty of God as expressed in other cultures
- People living out their calling to BE as well as their calling to DO, who are beginning to understand who God has created and is redeeming them to be
- Ireland becoming the “land of saints and scholars” once again
We offer:
- Teaching – curriculum includes: Irish history, literature and culture, evangelism, prayer, theology, missiology, masculinity and femininity, personality, and spiritual gifts assessment and exploration
- Experience – working with Irish leaders in placements that provide much-needed hands to churches and to ministries to the poor, to those affected by HIV/AIDS and others in and around Dublin
