Ireland, the Emerald Isle across the sea, I find it hard to find the words to express my feeling on the matter. Ireland, a land gripped by the hand of Satan who will not make it easy on those that attempt to snatch souls from his grip. Ireland is a closing field as the European Union would like to close the door on missions to this land forever. We are given a brief moment in history to come to the aide of the struggling Irish church to ensure that there Irish at the throne of grace. Satan would love to destroy this growing church and slam the door on all hope for this land. We must come to the assistance of men like Joseph and John faceless to you but real Irish men who are prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to save their fellow Irishmen. These are men who have given their lives for the cause of Christ. In the face of such dedication we in America must ask ourselves if we are willing pay the price to come their aide. After spending a month traveling this land I have been convinced of one thing and that is it will not be easy to come their assistance. Many things face us; challenges that would be easy for us to give up in the face of. The question that faces us now is who will come to Ireland’s aide for Christ’s sake?

What a trip I was so blessed to travel all over seeing various missions and seeing the many sights. But few of the experiences were as much of a blessing as meeting the growing number of Irish believers. They are true and genuine folk, and it was a pleasure to work with them even for a brief time. Since my call ten years ago I have prayed and prayed hard for this land and it was such a blessing to see the people I have prayed for. I didn’t know them they didn’t know me, but some how we were united in the work of Christ.

An Irish cry:

“Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let [Ireland] hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem [Ireland] from all his iniquities.”

Psa 130

Will God use you to answer this call or will He be forced to look another?
