What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
Ireland…who needs to say more? Its rolling countryside is like a patchwork of vibrant greens sewn together, dotted with the ruins of medieval castles and cobblestoned city squares that butt up against its jagged and rocky seaside cliffs. Ireland's past is dotted with violence, but the Irish are committed to peace and are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.
Ministry—While you’ll most likely connect well with Irish teens, intentional relationships are pivotal in building wonder for exploring and sharing the Gospel. Young people in both countries consider God “irrelevant” and have little interest in spiritual things. Therefore, your ministry will really focus hard on building relationships and simply getting to know people. Once relationships are built and you’ve developed trust, you’ll be able to talk about Christ in a low-key, no-pressure environment. You and your team will probably partner with the churches to host “drop-in” youth clubs, do street performances, and run VBS programs as well.
Adventure—Ministering and debriefing in Ireland will provide countless things to do and places to explore! You’ll get to search out crumbling thousand-year-old castles on Ireland’s North Coast, wander the narrow, winding medieval streets of Dublin, and travel back in time as you hear stories of the fascinating history of Ireland.
Experience Culture—You’ll find out right away that the Irish have a strong spirit of independence and are proud of their rich heritage of music, literature, and dance. Their official food mascot? The potato! The Irish tend to be night owls, and your ministry activities often start late and end even later! But don’t fret, if there’s one thing Ireland knows how to do right, it’s a proper cup of tea to keep you going.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
All of your ministry time will be spent in Northern Ireland. You’ll begin by working with Christ Church in Dundonald, a suburb of Belfast. You’ll take part in summer programs for teens, street performances, and even help with a community BBQ. You’ll finish the summer by working with a church in Londonderry/Derry. You’ll be involved with their kids’ club and work closely with local believers to build relationships with teenagers through the Hope Cafe, a ministry reaching the youth of the area.
