The Tree of Life Project is a visionary ministry initiated by the Chinese Christian Herald Crusades (CCHC) at Eddy Farm, designed to inspire participants to pass on their mission calling to their families and future generations. At the same time, it supports the continuing work of CCHC in community outreach, evangelism, and pastoral care, especially for those outside the traditional church setting.

At Eddy Farm, we are developing a “Missions Walkway” lined with 280 flowering trees of seven distinct species. We invite 280 individuals, families, or ministry groups with a heart for missions to join this meaningful initiative.

Each participant may be a named contributor. A bronze plaque, placed beside each tree, will be engraved with a personal message of encouragement or a meaningful quote. These 280 plaques will form a collective and living witness of missionary vision, supporting today’s ministry while sowing spiritual seeds for future generations. Just as each Tree of Life will grow and flourish, so too will the participant’s heart for missions echo within their family and faith community, encouraging others to rise up in faith and service.

Over the years, the trees will grow tall and strong, becoming a lasting testament to devotion. Spring brings blossoms that adorn the farm with beauty and fragrance. Summer delivers rich green foliage, offering shade and rest. Autumn transforms the landscape into a canvas of gold and red.

Future plans include family-centered events and retreats that make Eddy Farm a beloved destination for renewal and connection. Several prayer rooms will be built throughout the property to offer spaces for personal reflection and spiritual retreat.

Each garden area will feature a small chapel for family altar gatherings, where several households can come together for worship, encouragement, and fellowship. Themed sections of the walkway will offer special attention to different community needs, ensuring the space remains inclusive and spiritually prosperous.
