Eden’s mandate is to go to the most challenging urban areas and share God’s life-changing love incarnationally in word and action.  Eden teams choose to live in these communities, sharing the problems of those growing up there and ministering to their needs.

To date, The Message has planted ten Eden partnerships, involving around 300 people becoming ‘downwardly mobile’ and moving into Greater Manchester’s statistically toughest communities.

In 2009, a vision was born to see Edens planted elsewhere in the UK, including London and Sheffield.
