Care of Creation offers Our Father’s World seminars, presented by director Ed Brown, author of the outstanding book by the same title. Care of Creation’s environmental missions work is based in Limuru, Kenya and is directed by Craig Sorley (named one of Time Magazine’s Environmental Heroes of 2008). Care of Creation is partnering with Eden Vigil to offer the Summer Institute of Environmental Missions, summer 2011.
Often bearing the subtitle Christians in Conservation, A Rocha (a Portuguese word meaning “the Rock”) is one of the world’s most well-established international conservation agencies. National chapters can be found in many countries, including the US and Canada. For local believers who want to roll up their sleeves and contribute practically to conservation efforts, local chapters of A Rocha are a great place to start. Eden Vigil workers are helping start a local chapter in Manhattan, KS.
All creation care advocates owe a debt of gratitude to the Evangelical Environmental Network ( EEN ) which has done so much to help launch a Creation Care movement within the Church. One should also explore the Evangelical Climate Initiative, ECI, of which Lowell Bliss, director of Eden Vigil is now a signatory.
Eden Vigil was pleased to be an exhibitor at Flourish 09, a national conference of pastors and church leaders dedicated to Creation Care. Flourish as an organization works “with local churches and partners to share ideas about how to integrate creation care with ministries of evangelism, compassion, missions, and community service.” Book early for Flourish 10 in Houston, TX.

Dr. Matthew and Nancy Sleeth write some of the most readable books on Creation Care. That ease of use is also evident in Blessed Earth’s highly-practical and inspirational website. Their mission statement reads: “Blessed Earth is an educational nonprofit that inspires and equips faith communities to become better stewards of the earth. Through outreach to churches, campuses and media we build bridges that promote measurable environmental change and meaningful spiritual growth.”
