TRAVEL TO THE REPUBLIC of IRELAND
The following are two sobering statistics about the 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland.
1. Only one third of one percent claim to be evangelical Christians
2. It is the least evangelized English speaking country in the world
We have taken two short tours of Ireland, two weeks in 2018 and three weeks in 2019, where we have played for audiences in County Kerry, County Cork, and County Tipperary. There have been friendships created and new plans for future ministry. There is a ministry called "Amazing Grace" in Bantry, Co. Cork. Amazing Grace brought us in to Bantry to do a concert. Attendance epectations were low (30-40) However, nearly 100 people came to the concert, Christians and non Christian attendees. Our concert directly precipitated funding and help for Amazing Grace ministries which will help continue their events, Bible teaching, and study.
