OUR HISTORY - In 1936, the Irish Evangelistic Band was formed to take the Gospel to people in rural Ireland. During the succeeding years, the good seed of the Gospel has been spread by means of Gospel missions, Christian bookshops, the IEB Youth Movement, literature distribution, home-to-home evangelism, outreach teams and in other practical ways.

Sale of Christian literature through Real Life, our Bookshop in Enniskillen, and also Cavan Christian Bookshop. Distribution of Saint Patrick booklets at large events such as the Saint Patrick's Day Parades each year. We thank God for His faithfulness, for answers to prayer as we see evidence of God's work in the lives of people with whom we have contact and for those who have come to faith in Christ. We praise God for all that has been accomplished through our evangelism programme. Thank you for your prayers which make such a difference.

IS GOD CALLING YOU?
We need more people to answer God's call and join us in outreach. If God is calling you, please contact us using the contact details. 'I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me' (Isaiah 6:8). In these troubled times people need the Lord and it is important for us to realise the urgency of reaching them with the Gospel before it is too late. Our commitment is to do all we can and use every means we can to bring to people the life-changing message of the Gospel. We thank God for answered prayer and for His faithfulness.

Ireland needs a Saviour,
This Isle so green and fair
Is burdened with sin and with broken lives,
And few there are who care.

Souls are drifting downward,
Precious souls for whom Christ died,
Oh carry the message to Irish hearts,
Of Jesus the crucified.

Will you help us carry the message?

'The entrance of Thy Words giveth Light' (Psalm 119:130).
