International Mission Opportunities

Ireland

Dates: May - June, Every Summer, 4 weeks
Cost: $2600 (all inclusive)
Coursework: Global Studies Credit ICS 2991 Option

This mission trip has a long tradition in Northern Ireland.  We have served with the towns of Ballynahinch, Carryduff, and Killyleagh.  In each place we spend 3 years working alongside the churches, lifting up their arms as they minister to their communities.  Summer 2009 marks the start of our ministry to Belfast, the capital of the province.  Our primary ministries are Children’s Bible Club for the youngsters ages 4-11, Sports Camp for students aged 11-16, and church involvement. These activities not only involve games and fun, but also provide an opportunity for us to present the gospel to young people who feel the stress between Catholics and Protestants in their community.
