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. We do this through a number of ways, including partnering with churches through our Partners for Church Growth initiative, offering short-term ministry opportunities, and working with local Jesus-followers to share the Gospel.
