March Irish Meal Plan

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up in a couple weeks, this month we will be focusing on Ireland and spending time praying for the work that is happening in Ireland as well as enjoying their yummy food. This would be a great month to dive in and welcome your little ones to “International food” as you might already be serving some of these yummy treats around your home and it might not be quite as “weird” as say Kefta or Tagine or Turkish food…

Facts about Ireland & St. Patrick’s Day

• 91% of Ireland’s people are Christian yet only 1.33% claim to be evangelical 
• Over 4 million people live in Ireland
• 44 different people groups live there with five of those being unreached people groups.
• St. Patrick was actually born in England but was kidnapped and set to Ireland at the age of 16. He escaped and returned to England; however, in a dream God told him to return to Ireland. He entered the priesthood and returned back to Ireland in 433AD where he died in 461AD after 30 years of missionary work.

Praying for Ireland

1. Pray that the Gospel will penetrate hearts of those trapped in religion. 
2. Pray for workers who are building relationships and working hard to share the gospel in this beautiful land.
3. Pray that the work that St. Patrick began would continue and many would come to know Jesus Christ.
