Question

Patrick was born in Britain around 360 A.D. When he was 16 years old, Irish pirates kidnaped him. The pirates sold
him as a slave to a local king. Patrick did not understand the language spoken in Ireland. This made his masters very
angry. Sometimes they would beat him because he could not understand their instructions. Patrick had to work hard. He
took care of the king's sheep. He had no house or apartment and no soft bed. Instead, he lived outside on the mountain
night and day. Patrick also had no one to talk or to play with. He was sad and lonely. While caring for the sheep, Patrick
came to know God. Patrick had heard about God from his Christian grandfather. Alone on the mountain, he talked to
God. After six years of slavery, Patrick escaped and returned to Britain. Soon, God called Patrick to return to Ireland as
a missionary.Patrick obeyed. At first, the Irish people did not want to hear about God. They worshiped many false gods.
To worship a false god is to worship Satan. Satan does not want people to believe in the true God. Satan tried to stop
Patrick from telling the Irish people about the true God. Sometimes these followers of Satan put Patrick in prison. But
God is stronger than Satan. God let Patrick rest in the prisons. When Patrick had rested, God freed him to tell more
people about the true God. All over Ireland, people listened to Patrick. They turned from their false gods and Satan to
the one true God. Thousands accepted God's Son Jesus Christ as their Savior. They were baptized. Hundreds of
churches also started. A church is a place to worship God and to learn more about him.For thirty years, Patrick told
people about the one true God. When he was an old man, he was amazed by how God had worked through him. He
wrote, "Those who never had a knowledge of God, but worshiped idols and impure things have now become a people
of the Lord, sons of God."Patrick died in Ireland March 17, 460 A. D., but his work continued. Within one hundred
years, Ireland had become a Christian nation. In fact, Ireland sent missionaries to the rest of Europe. The land which
once enslaved him, he had set free.
