When Rome fell, the world was in crisis.
Civilization crumbled, and paganism filled the void.
It seemed like the darkness would swallow the whole world.
But God was at work.
A young Roman Briton named Patrick had been dragged to Ireland as a slave…
But years later, he returned—not with an army, but with the gospel.
And the land that once enslaved him was conquered for Christ.
In a single generation, the pagan stronghold of the Celts was transformed.
The same story played out across Europe.
As the old world fell, monks didn’t retreat in fear…
They built faithful communities, preserved truth, discipled nations…
And through them, darkness did not have the last word.
Note the hope this brings today…
The world may be in crisis, but Christ is still Lord.
The gospel still transforms lives—and cultures.
The way forward remains the same: faithful men, living in community, shaping the future.
