Ireland
Overview
BCM ministry in the Republic of Ireland began in 1965 when Alice Lloyd and Claire Burford traveled to the Republic of Ireland to hold children’s Bible Clubs, five-day Sunshine Clubs and teacher training seminars. Over the years the ministry in Ireland has grown, from Bible Camps held in Laytown to a weekly club for children in Kilkenny:
- 1969: the first of five Sunshine clubs began.
- 1970: Alice and Claire started a Bible Club for boys at the Curragh Army Camp in County Kildare. Within a few years, 250 boys were attending that camp. The camp ministry led to opportunities to minister to women and a “Ladies Club” was established in the nearby town of Newbridge. This subsequently led to a Sunday night “fellowship meeting” where husbands were invited. The result was a church plant—Newbridge Bible Fellowship Church.
- 1970: The first annual Bible Club residential camp held for the children of Laytown.
- 1970: BCM ministry in Kilkenny began through a weekly Bible club for primary school children.
- 1978: The “Shalom” home in Newbridge was purchased and serves as a home for BCM missionaries, in addition to the BCM headquarters in the Republic of Ireland.
