Creation Care
Evangelical Environment
Network (EEN) is a unique evangelical ministry whose purpose is to
"declare the Lordship of Christ over all creation" (Col. 1:15-20). EEN
was formed because we recognize many "environmental" problems are
fundamentally spiritual problems. EEN's flagship publication, Creation
Care magazine, provides you with biblically informed and timely
articles on topics ranging from how to protect your loved ones against
environmental threats to how you can more fully praise the Creator for
the wonder of His creation.

those who can not speak for themselves. Restoring Eden also facilitates
practical service projects that directly benefit the creation and the
indigenous peoples that rely on healthy natural resources.
