Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO EQUIP AND EMPOWER FAMILIES TO LIVE HEALTHY LIVES, MAXIMIZE AVAILABLE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND BE CHRIST-LIKE TRANSFORMERS OF SOCIETY.
SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: EDEN MISSION HAS OVER 250 COUPLES GOING THROUGH OUR SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRIES OF UGANDA AND DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. THESE FAMILIES ARE ENROLLED IN A DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM LED BY A TEAM OF TRAINED PASTORS. THE FOCUS IS ON A BIBLICAL MARRIAGE. THE GOAL IS TO EQUIP PARTICIPANTS WITH A TRUE GOSPEL WORLDVIEW GUIDED BY THE BIBLICAL WORD OF GOD. THIS HAS BEEN CRITICALLY IMPORTANT IN THESE COUNTRIES DUE TO THE RAMPANT TEACHING OF FALSE DOCTRINES BY UNSCRUPULOUS CHURCH LEADERS, ENCOURAGING THEIR MEMBERS TO STRAY. ONCE THE MARRIAGE IS ON SOLID FOOTING, WE CONTINUE PROGRAMED SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOCUSING THE TRAINING IN THE AREAS OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT, PARENTING AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS. DUE TO LIMITED EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND A HIGH ILLITERACY RATE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE STRUGGLED TO TEACH BASIC CHILD DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES AND COMMUNITY WELLNESS. AS A RESULT OF OUR TRAINING WE HAVE HEARD AMAZING TESTIMONIES OF IMPROVED PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS AND THE RECONCILIATION OF BROKEN MARRIAGES.
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: EDEN MISSION OFFERS THESE COUPLES AN EIGHTEEN MONTH VOCATIONAL TRAINING BEGINNING WITH A SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. IN A CULTURE OF LOW ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND HIGH POVERTY LEVELS, MANY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE NOT ABLE TO PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION LEVELS, THUS LIMITING THEIR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. EDEN MISSION TRAINS PARTICIPANTS IN THE FOLLOWING VOCATIONAL AREAS: CARPENTRY, SMALL SCALE FARMING AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, TAILORING AND VEHICLE MECHANICS. THESE APPRENTICESHIPS HAVE IMPACTED THE INCOME LEVEL OF MANY OF THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM.
HEALTH AND NUTRITION: EDEN MISSION FOCUSES ON TWO AREAS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION; CHILDREN'S NUTRITION AND THE HEALTH OF PREGNANT MOTHERS THROUGHOUT THEIR TERM. GEOGRAPHICALLY, EDEN MISSION SERVES IN AREAS THAT GOVERNMENT REPORTS INDICATE HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF MALNUTRITION AMONG CHILDREN AND ALSO THE HIGHEST FERTILITY RATES AMONG WOMEN. WE SPONSOR CLINICS TEACHING THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULARLY SCHEDULED VISITS WITH A HEALTHCARE WORKER DURING PREGNANCY, BREAST FEEDING AND BASIC CHILDREN'S HYGIENE AND HEALTH. IN SUMMARY EDEN MISSION'S VISION OF 'HEALTHY FAMILIES, GLORYING GOD' ADDRESSES THE SPIRITUAL, ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF A FAMILY IN NEED.
