Our St Patrick's Challenge is all about sharing the Gospel with people who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus, with confidence that the Gospel will make an impact on their lives.
We want to use the context of St Patrick to remind the people in Ireland of the message that St Patrick brought to the country long ago and its relevance today. There will be an emphasis on personal evangelism and church partnership during this outreach.
The programme begins with training and orientation at Lacken House, OM Ireland's headquarters. Participants will head out in teams to share the Gospel through St Patrick's Day activities in partnership with local churches across Ireland.
We are looking for people who are passionate about Jesus and want to share His Good News with others. Participants need to be flexible, adaptable and teachable.
Check with your local OM office for travel insurance requirements.
Initial accommodation will be at Lacken House. We provide bedding and towels. During the outreach at churches accomodation can vary, so participants may need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow (check with office). If you have any particular need/requirement, please let your local OM office know.
All meals are provided and included in outreach cost. Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements.
