Ireland
RegisterBummer!
This trip is not currently active, but don't go anywhere.
Adventure awaits you in Ireland! Travel by plane, train, and coach through the vibrant patchwork of green rolling countryside and see ruins of medieval castles, tiny cottages, and seaside cliffs. Christianity has had a rich and colorful history here over the centuries, but sadly, many churches have been turned into community centers or museums. During your time on the island, you will have many opportunities to share about the hope and continued need for the Gospel and serve, encourage, and work alongside local ministers and Christian organizations.
Join the story of what God is doing on this mission trip to Ireland. Build lasting friendships with other believers and fall in love with the Irish people and their beautiful land. Say “YES” to God working in and through you this summer!
A rolling countryside like a patchwork of vibrant greens sewn together dotted with the ruins of medieval castles and cobblestoned city squares that butt up against its jagged and rocky seaside cliffs. Ireland’s past is dotted with violence, but the Irish are committed to peace and are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.

Outreach
Ireland has a strong history of Catholicism and Protestantism; however, due to centuries of conflict between the two, many Irish youth have become disillusioned with the idea of established religion. You’ll partner with local churches and ministries to make new friends and share about the new, meaningful life Jesus desires for them to live. You will first work with a church in Londonderry. There, you will have the opportunity to help serve at a women's shelter, serve at a food pantry, lead a summer kids club, have some outreach BBQs, and meet many teens and adults out on the streets to share the Gospel with. After that, we will head to Portrush. This seaside town is full of people on summer holiday. You will work with a ministry called Boardwalk Collective to reach the kids and youth of Portrush. In the past, we have been able to do outreach teen nights, street performances, service projects, and even work at their surfing summer camp. Lastly, we will finish our ministry time in Dundonald, a suburb of Belfast. We will focus our time there on a large kids club, a week of teen nights with many local youth, and street evangelism in Belfast. This summer will be full of many different types of outreach. You will surely be able to find a fit for yourself.
Adventure
Personal development
Ireland and Northern Ireland are full of exciting opportunities. How about traveling to the Emerald Isle? You’ll see amazing things like Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, and Carrickfergus Castle. Explore thousand-year-old castles, walk the beaches of the North Coast, and maybe even enjoy a taste of your heritage. You may even get to experience the largest bonfire you've ever seen as the people of Ireland celebrate Orange Day. When we are in Dublin, you will experience many different things that will give you a taste of adventure and culture. Any interest in Gaelic culture and sports? Come check it out; you won't be disappointed. While you may not find any leprechauns or pots of gold here, other amazing sights can be found, such as Dublin Castle, Trinity College, Riverdance, the Ireland National Museum, and so much more. There is always something new and exciting to experience in Ireland.
Team Dynamics
Growth
If you come this summer with an open heart and willingness to serve, we’re confident you will grow in your walk with Christ. As you leave your comfort zone behind, you will have opportunities to trust God daily. We will help you know what it means to place your identity in Christ and how to serve others selflessly. You will grow in a community of like-minded believers as you dig into God’s Word daily. You will have opportunities to step out of your comfort zone to share your testimony. We will walk you through amazing teachings throughout the summer to help you go deeper into God's word. Each day, you will have time for personal devotions/quiet time with some fantastic group discussions afterward. As we reach our last days, we will walk you through debriefing. We also spend time teaching, reflecting, journaling, praying, and planning for the future during this time. We want to help you take what you have experienced and learned during the summer and apply it afterward. Debriefing is a great time to bring closure to your summer and propel you forward in your walk with Christ!
We are committed to seeing you undergo a transformation that will be so profound thatyour parents won't recognize you when you return!
What are students saying about royal servants?
the royal servants experience
While every Royal Servants Trip is different, there are some things that never change.
From Training Camp to debriefing, every aspect of our ministry is focused on discipling our students. Through small group discussions, large group teachings, and an extensive debriefing process, we want to ensure your student is not only emotionally prepared for a summer overseas but also that they are prepared to apply what they learn in the summer to their life at home.
It is important for our teams to start with a solid foundation before they embark overseas. At Training Camp, you will begin building relationships with your team, learn how to share the Gospel, and prepare for what life will look like overseas. You will leave Training Camp ready to face any challenge that may come your way.
Over the course of the summer, you will experience how transforming life in Christian community can be. Through daily quiet times and small group discussions, you will deepen your relationship with God. Through outreach, you will gain new understanding of God's heart for the world and the Church. Through being in community, you will learn how to love those around you.
After weeks packed full of ministry outreaches, you will transition into a week of debriefing. Going home after an intense summer ministry experience can be challenging emotionally and spiritually. Debriefing is a time of reflection about what you have experienced, seeking wisdom from God, and preparing for the challenges you might face going home.
Throughout the summer, you will hear teachings on foundational Christian truths. Our biblical worldview is best described as historic Christianity, and we teach from a traditional perspective on morality and values that the church has held for over 2000 years. Refer to our Statement of Faith and make sure we are the right fit. On everything else, we encourage students to seek answers from their parents and local church community.
Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip.
Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country before and during the trip. The team will be moved to a stable location if a situation threatens the team's security, whether from political or environmental conditions.
Royal Servants mission trips are led by Reign Ministries’ staff, not part-time volunteers. Our staff care deeply about students and see leadership as a privilege. Each staff member is intensively trained on how to connect with and lead students. They are fully engaged in every aspect of the mission trip, whether being involved in ministry, leading Bible studies, or just hanging out building relationships. They are intentional to ensure that each student is discipled beginning at Training Camp and through debriefing prior to returning home.
