Journey Overview
We want to use the context of St Patrick to remind the 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. There is a national evangelistic campaign called What's The Story taking place around St Patrick's day 2025. Our annual St Patrick's Challenge is all about sharing the Gospel with people living in Ireland who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus, knowing that the Gospel will make an impact on their lives.
