Eden is here at Buttershaw ...

Started ten years ago, Eden (http://www.eden-network.org/) is a modern missionary movement that recruits and trains disciples to live radically for Jesus by leaving often comfortable settings and moving to live and work in areas of the country that are close to God's passionate heart for the poor, but that are often marginalised and forgotten by the rest of society.

Eden projects work with local Churches to see young people as the answer and not the problem for Estates across the North of England. Innovative youth and community work is central to the Eden vision. Teams of people 'tent make' by working in a normal jobs but then living incarnationally amongst the young people they seek to serve. Eden teams are lead by a paid worker who co-ordinates the work and manages the team.

Our Eden team has started with the arrival of Gavin and Maz Humphries. They will be adding prayer letter and photos of the work very soon. Now you can keep up to date with the Eden Blog.
