Saoirse / freedom - Worldwide Irish Diaspora Outreach
Saoirse, which is the Irish/Gaelic word for Freedom, is an outreach to the worldwide Irish Diaspora. People of Irish extraction number 60 million around the world, 40 million in the US alone. The vision of Saoirse is to provide an all Irish ministry team of musicians singers and speakers available to churches wishing to reach out to those of Irish descent living in their areas. This would be especially relevant during Irish festivals such as St. Patrick's Day. The Saoirse team would provide Christian music, songs and testimonies done with an Irish expression. The team would always work in harmony with a local church or group of churches.
The first Saoirse outreach was held in October 2004 in association with the Urban Expression Group of Churches which is based in the East End of London. Many non Christians of Irish extraction came along to this Celebration of Irish Christianity simply because it was an authentic Irish night in their area ( by clicking here, you can read a special article written about it.).
