Ministry opportunities in Ireland

The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is the only English-speaking Catholic nation. While Catholicism has been a major influence over the country and culture, few people have a living relationship with God. Traditional “religion” has failed to tackle serious social problems such as alcoholism, depression and suicide.  

OM in Ireland officially launched in 2002 with the goal of supporting the Irish church. This is done in a number of ways including: helping churches through our Partners for Church Growth initiative, offering short-term ministry opportunities, and working with local Jesus followers to share the gospel. 

How you can get involved:

• PRAY
  • Pray for Ireland to be reached with the gospel, for new churches to be planted, and for existing churches to be strengthened and encouraged.
  • Pray for the Lord to send more labourers to the Republic of Ireland.
  • Pray for the ministry of OM Ireland that we would be faithful to the ministry to which the Lord has called us.
• GIVE — Give here (Donate | OM.org) to help support the work of OM in the Republic of Ireland.
• GO — See the job opportunities listed at Opportunities | OM.org. Contact us at: Contact | OM.org or visit our website: www.om.org/ie
