Journey Overview
We remind people of Ireland of the message that St Patrick brought to the country long ago, and its relevance today. Evangelism & Church partnership. 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.
Note that visa costs, background checks, and travel to and from Ireland are NOT included in the outreach cost. More information about OM Ireland and our programmes can be found at www.om.org/ie and also the national evangelistic campaign: www.patrickstory.ie. Once participants are accepted, we will send practical information.
What To Expect
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. There is a national evangelistic campaign, The Patrick Story, in March 2026.
Participant Profile
Age Range: 18-70
We are looking for people who are passionate about Jesus and want to share the good news with others. Come prepared to be flexible, adaptable and teachable.
