Mission
Restoring
Eden makes hearts bigger, hands dirtier, and voices stronger
by encouraging Christians to learn to love, serve, and protect
God's creation.
We are a Christian ministry dedicated to serving Christ by working with God's people to be a voice for God's creation and all those who depend on it. We live out the biblical mandate
to "speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves" (Proverbs
31:8) as advocates for natural habitats, wild species and indigenous subsistence cultures.
Our Work
Restoring Eden is a rapidly growing network of Christians working to become a
grassroots movement within the church. We are dedicated to empowering Christians to engage in faithful stewardship of the natural world as a biblical, moral, and wise
value.
Our work can best be divided into three categories:
Nature Appreciation
We encourage nature appreciation as a traditional spiritual discipline within the Christian church -- a discipline sadly in need of rediscovery. As Christians, we need to learn to see the wisdom and goodness of God revealed in the created order around us. Scripture is full of examples of encounters with God occurring in the midst of the wonder of nature - from Abraham to Moses and from David to Jesus.
Environmental Stewardship
When
you appreciate something, you want to take care of it. God's
creation is no different. In our own lives, we can take can take
care of what He has made by doing any number of things. From
recycling to bicycling, Restoring Eden is excited to share steps that
households, churches, businesses, and schools can take to more lovingly
steward creation. We also facilitate practical service projects that directly
benefit the creation and the indigenous peoples that rely on healthy
natural resources. Public Advocacy
Public AdvocacyRestoring Eden focuses on advocating for marginalized groups. We call it, "taking care of the least of
these." Working
together, we can make your voice stronger by helping you speak out
for those who can not speak for themselves or even add your voice to make other voices stronger.
Whether it is the inhabitants of small island nations that are disappearing due to climate change, the people of Appalachia being impacted by mountaintop removal, the unborn children impacted by pollution from coal plants, or critical ecosystems, Restoring Eden works to serve as an added voice for them in our modern political arena.
We must be that voice. If we do not speak the truth that God loves his creation--who will?
