Eden Mission

Spiritual and social development: Eden Mission ministers to couples going through our spiritual empowerment program in the countries of uganda and democratic repubilic of congo. These families are enrolled in a discipleship program led by a team of trained pastors. The focus is on biblical marriage. The goal is to equip participants with a true gospel worldview guided by the biblical word of god. Once the marriage is on solid footing we continue programed social development focusig the training in the areas of child development parenting and community relations. Due to limited education opportunities 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 reconciliations of broken marriages.

Health and nutrition: Eden Mission focuses on two areas of community health and nutrition; children's nutrition and the health of pregnant mothers throughtout 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. Our sponsored clinics were visited by 5,179 pregenant women in 2021. Each mother received a maternity kit and a visit with a healthcare worker.

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 education 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.
