It supports international partners from its congregation, whose work includes theological teaching, church planting, Bible translation, teaching, development work and healthcare alongside local churches. Its external giving gives preference to individuals, groups and organisations furthering evangelical Christianity and with strong links to Eden, for example where church members are directly involved. It also provides discretionary welfare grants to people in its church community facing financial hardship, and makes miscellaneous grants at the discretion of its Elders and Trustees. In assessing international partners, it considers the suitability of the candidate for the specific work, spiritual and theological maturity, and whether appropriate support networks are in place at home and overseas.
