Welcome Mission Partners!
Good Fruit is our exclusive bulletin for sustained givers to Eden Invitation,
also known as our Mission Support Team.
Regularly scheduled donations from our Mission Support Team ensure our staff salaries and other operating costs are covered. In this monthly newsletter, we share an inside look at the day-to-day here-- interviews with community members and mission partners, prayer intentions, glory stories, engagement metrics, and more!
As we look back on 2024 in our End-of-Year Campaign, we're sharing Good Fruit with EVERYONE through the rest of December! Campaigns provide the funds we need to make all of our programs and community opportunities available for FREE or low-cost to striving disciples with LGBTQ+ experiences.
Thank you for nurturing the growth of this vital mission in the Church.
Now enjoy wandering about this garden and see the fruits of your support!
