Environmental missions

  • "…for the stewardship of creation. …an evangelical voice promoting environmental stewardship and economic development built on Biblical principles"

  • Jesus Christ is the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all things—the implications are profound. Colossians 1:15-23 and Romans 8:18-27 emphasize “all things” even though we quickly tend to focus on Christ's redemption of us and ignore the rest of His creation. My selfish, self-centered perspective can easily blind me to the truth that redemption isn’t just about me, but is about all of His world. Creation care is a logical extension of a desire to honor the One who made everything, actively holds it together and died to restore it to its original good purposes. The way I teach about God's world will reflect what I really believe about Christ.

    Lowell Bliss introduces Environmental Missions as a historic practice and present opportunity to labor with Christ in caring for the environment and making disciples among all peoples.

  • "…an alternative environmental commentary"

"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books—a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects."

Albert Einstein
