The Solution
“Wealth is a deep understanding of the natural world.” ~Bill Mollison.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…
A body divided cannot stand. Nor a family. Nor a community. Nor a people.
We are as a peoples, are split in every way imaginable. At every step, and in every way: divided, discouraged, deceived, and way off course.
I come to tell you that this is not a bug in the software, but a feature of this current system. The devil divides. God multiplies.
We have forgotten to be kind, to our fellow humans. We have forgotten how to live in the natural world. We have forgotten how to coexist in homeostasis with regard to our finite natural resources.
This is a calling to all. A calling to be better versions of ourselves. Better to each other. Better to the least of us. Better to the most helpless.
Remember my people - Remember to love one another: As we all live out the very fight of our lives. On this tiny blue dot. In an infinite cosmos.
There is no planet B.
“To have made even one person's life a little better, that is to succeed.” ~ Thoreau
Our Creation Care Ministry is born to unite people in shared purpose. By providing a loving works in Earth Care, and People Care. Religious or not.
Come all ye takers. Come one come all - lets fix this mess!
The universe, and the natural world it produces, is genius in it’s complexity. We are granted this creation, abundant beyond words; and yet we set ourselves against the immutable laws of Nature. We set ourselves against one another. Time and again, instance after instance - we destroy nature, and each other - for earthly things. Temporary things.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
We need to work within the laws of Nature, not against them. But this society hasn’t yet learned how.
This Church is designed to be a light in the dark: while seeking to provide for, and to help others to provide for; our shared collective needs. The Eden Foundation Church is created to help provide for peoples complete hierarchy of needs across our core ministries. While we can’t fix everything, we can certainly leave it better than we found it.
“We don't have any power of creation - we have only the power of assembly. So you just stand there and watch things connect to each other, in some amazement actually. You start by doing something right, and you watch it get more right than you thought possible.” ~ Bill Mollison.

Come be part of the solution. We are here for all people. Not just people of the same, or similar religions. This isn’t some closed club. No church should be a religious book club.
Church is where people go to meet God. The bible teaches us: That when two or more believers are gathered together, that God is in the midst of them (Mat 18:20). This Church will build Forests of food to benefit all life on earth, and experience God in Nature. The Congregation in the Wilderness.
Now whether you are religious or not - you are welcome to join us in healing this world.
If the church scene isn’t your scene, then by all means: The good of the deed can be in the deed itself.
Caring for earth and caring for people can absolutely transcend every limitation of the divisive human imagination.
We understand that the number one reason people don’t go to church is because of church people. I’ve long said: We Christians are the only army that kill their wounded. I would ask any of you with church-hurt to remember: Church is an ICU for the spiritually malnourished. Where the broken and disheveled come to be healed. Where the downtrodden go to be built back up. So please be kind. Serve your fellow humans with honor and love, out of the unifying spirit of thanksgiving. For it is better to Give than to receive.
We extend hands of brotherly love from across the isle.
We won’t push our beliefs on anyone. Its your soul. God is a gentlemen. He will not force himself into your heart. You have to ask him in.
We extend the same respect to all people.
“God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.” ~Martin Luther
“What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us.And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.” ~Thoreau
“Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small-scale intensive systems which are labor efficient and which use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs stress ecological connections and closed energy and material loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working relationships and connections between all things.” ~ Bill Mollison
Imagine a society of people helping people. Imagine a cleaner, healthier world. Help us. Help yourself. Help others. Please. Join in. Donate. Lend a helping hand. For the good of all peoples, everywhere. Be the light that shines in the dark.
The hope of Glory is Christ in you. For many are called, but few are chosen.
