Engage has the great privilege to partner in Northern Ireland with youth groups from several churches (Connor Youth) and be a part of two youth events: Summer Madness and Streetreach. The Engage team will begin the experience by spending the first two days in the capital city of Belfast to learn more about the culture and history of the country in relation to faith and the church. After this important cultural learning, the team will join with the Connor youth groups to participate together in the Summer Madness festival, a gathering of youth from all over Northern Ireland who worship and learn together. The festival will consist of times of worship with national bands and speakers, youth-focused workshops, and other fun activities throughout the day. After the four-night festival, the team will be sent out with Connor Youth for a four-day service experience called Street Reach. During Streetreach the team will partner with a local church to serve a community in a variety of ways (street and park clean-up, possible kids camps, gardening/yard work, etc.). Northern Ireland is a beautiful country with rich history and culture. Through this opportunity with Engage, you will get to build relationships and serve alongside other young people in Northern Ireland and see how the Spirit is moving through this country.
