Along the way, we found inspiration in a number of different places and things we’ve experienced in Ireland. And thus we’ve produced some different videos and articles over the years which are listed and described below.
It has become quite a list through the years, and includes stuff that is on the lighter and more fun side of things, as well as more
in-depth stuff with deeper studies on the expansion of the Gospel through Europe via Celtic missionaries and the miraculous, which often accompanied their message of Christ, chief of which is our video on The Real St Patrick, which is embedded at the top of this post but listed at the bottom, as there are a number of other materials that go with it for further study.
⚫️ Celtic Cry
So, starting on the lighter side, is this music video which is filled with scenes and surf of Ireland. This is a song that I wrote and we recorded that was inspired by St Patrick’s call to the mission field and the awesome scenery and surf of the Emerald Isle. The lyrics can be seen in the description on YouTube. Also available in audio on Apple Music, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

⚫️ Driving Through the Irish Countryside
A fun video filmed while driving through the Bloody Foreland in the north of Ireland. We were having wild encounters like being shadowed by a cloud following us, and seeing historic sites along the way, amongst other things. Our own wee little Patty can be seen and heard in this video with his squeaky little voice.

⚫️ A visit to Lindisfarne Island
This was a spontaneous trip we were invited on while ministering in northern England. A friend took us out to Lindisfarne, which was a Celtic missionary outpost and produced the Lindisfarne Gospels.

⚫️ The Conversion of the Vikings
The Celtic believers who were captured by the Vikings actually influenced them with the Gospel; God uses the weak things to shame the strong so that no one can boast before him, with signs and wonders following.

⚫ Columcille: Irish Missionary to Scotland
Though he lived in a little later era than St Patrick, Columcille (aka Columba — the anglicized version of his name) was a missionary to the Scots and Picts who was in fact inspired by St Patrick and experienced many miracles himself.

Clouded by myth and obscured by legends, the real St Patrick was neither Irish nor Roman Catholic, but was actually an evangelical-style evangelist from Roman Britain used by God to make headway with the Gospel into Ireland.
