is a joint initiative of Evangelical Alliance and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, steered by senior church leaders from a range of denominations, and geared for those who have a heart for reaching Ireland. In a sense it combines two concepts – an EA Assembly of Leaders and a BGEA School of Evangelism, seeking to bring leaders together to inspire and encourage in our mission task.

The keynote speakers for the event will be Ravi Zacharias, world-renowned apologist and philosopher, Anne Graham Lotz, who needs little introduction to Ireland, whilst Bible readings will be led by Trevor Morrow, minister of the Presbyterian church in Lucan on the outskirts of Dublin. The theme they will all be helping us unpack is the centrality of Jesus Christ in our mission task to a post-modern, rapidly becoming post-Christian world!

However, the event will not just be platform teaching! The programme is geared to help us engage in mission under four main streams – the challenges of sharing faith, church, society and children/youth. For each of these streams there will be plenary speakers and a series of practical workshops highlighting thriving examples of mission in Ireland, led by those working in different parts of the land.

We think this is perhaps the first time that an attempt has been made to bring together over
600 leaders, clergy and laity, from across Ireland, under a mission banner, and steered by such a group, and we trust that you will challenge your church to send you along with several key leaders from your fellowship to share in what we hope will be an unforgettable experience.
