Every ministry, born of the Holy Spirit, possesses a unique history, a constantly evolving narrative, and a profound impact. Outreach Ireland, no exception, carries a rich story that shapes its current mission and results.
2019 brought the beginnings of inner stirring and a sense that there is more in God than just attending church and being faithful to the within the four walls-workings of a local fellowship and the Fathers heart, or at this stage the lack of it is revealed.
As far back as 2010 God birthed a vision of reaching our community on a consistent basis for the gospel which never left the paper on which it was written.
March 2020 saw the first major lockdown hit Ireland, Industry, schools, churches were shut down and the unprecedented times of the Covid Pandemic were upon us and our world was changing forever.
After a slight easing of restrictions in the summer of 2020 October brought the second major lockdown, and further lockdown restrictions were announced Christmas Eve of this year.
As the world was saying lockdown God was saying mobilise and on the 17th of March 2021 our Outreach in Navan was birthed helped at the time by Evangelistโs John Edwards and Dermot Landy.
Easter was early in 2021 and on Easter Saturday two of us were on the streets of Navan our team quickly grew to 12 who regularly went on the street 2 times a month.
June 2021 after attending a retreat hosted by John Edwards friendships were made with other evangelists and Church partnership was born.
The summer of 2021 marked a significant chapter in the journey of Outreach Ireland as partnerships were forged among churches in Shannon, Dublin, and Tralee. These collaborations not only strengthened what were to become our core values but also amplified the efforts of outreach initiatives in Navan and these locations.
The first Revival Ireland Outreach Event took place in Navan on the 8th of January 2022 it was in Revival Ireland that we sought to put words on what God was already doing in and through us our mission statement was born.

Revival Ireland was disbanded in August 2023 after being in operation for just over a year; however when a vision is rooted in God this vision will come to pass only people change our God remains the same.
Outreach in Navan remained consistent and continued throughout 2023 in March 2024 we partnered with Oasis Christian Fellowship in Roscrea and it was apparent that the heart of partnership was still vibrant and alive and God was still very much in the business of moving in this way.
On the 4th of April 2024 the Outreach Ireland Face-Book page was launched and throughout 2024 28 Outreach Events were held partnering with 13 different churches North, South East and West of the country.
The vision of partnership had moved into the next level and God was doing something very special within Outreach Ireland.
Our mission statement was refined and members of our team started to move into new places of freedom and authority God was establishing Outreach Ireland our mission statement now reads;
