Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland around 432 A.D. As more and more English and Scots settled in the north, tensions grew between the mostly Catholic Irish and the largely Protestant settlers. When the Republic of Ireland gained independence in 1922, Northern Ireland remained a province of the United Kingdom. However, conflict continued within Northern Ireland with civil violence peaking in the 1960’s through the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Though the past 20+ years have been relatively peaceful, segregation still exists today.![]()

Materialism and hedonism are societal strongholds. Mistrust and resentment still present challenges to reconciliation and the spread of the Gospel. There is great need for repentance and forgiveness. To date, the Lord has not yet supplied a person of peace that would enable Biglife or any of our partnering organizations to provide disciple making movement training within this place. Please join us in praying for the Lord’s provision of this person(s). hubs.la/Q022SSgy0
This past Friday, we wrapped up our 2023 staff retreat. Disciples representing 6 continents gathered together in Georgia, USA for a week of worship, fellowship and encouragement. It is always a blessing to have the opportunity to spur one another on for the Kingdom of Jesus. Praise the Lord for all He is doing across the globe. We are humbled to be part of it.
Today is Day 5 of our participation in 10 Days of Prayer. Our global Biglife family is gathering each day in their homes to be in the Lord's presence together, longing to be molded more and more into the image of Jesus. In addition to personal transformation, we are crying out for the nations asking the Lord to open new doors of opportunity. You can learn more at hubs.la/Q022J5_Y0.
As we have shared previously, our partnership with 10 Days of Prayer has been a great blessing. This amazing ministry is helping our Biglife network to grow in prayer and we are able to serve 10 Days by providing Disciple Making Movement training for each of the many opportunities that continue to open within their network. ![]()

"Grateful to see more disciples equipped for the great comission. Legacy church leaders and some of their disciples, people from other networks and neighbouring towns all joined for a training. We are greatful that a Café owner opened his business to see this take place. We are praying for the establishing network and for fruitful fellowship."![]()
