Eden Ministries

Published on September 10, 2025

Last Sunday, we had the privilege of meeting some of the team from Eden Ministries. If you missed it, make sure you watch the interview as Richard Beaumont chats with Michelle, Jacob and Israel from Eden.

Who is Eden?

Eden’s mission is to extend God’s love to people who have been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.  

According to the ILO, 49.6 million people are trapped in modern-day slavery. 

Eden’s vision is a world in which no one is bought or sold. Through a relationship-focused and trauma-informed approach, Eden seeks to reach both individuals at high risk of trafficking and those who are victims of human trafficking, and provide care for the whole person: their physical, emotional, spiritual, economic, and social well-being.

A Message from Eden.

Thank you NewHope for welcoming us on Sunday. It was a privilege to share our heart to end human trafficking and to highlight our microgreens program.

Microgreens Project. As Israel and Jacob (joining us from the front line in Yangon) explained, the microgreens program tackles the root causes of trafficking by improving nutrition. Many in Myanmar face crippling medical debt simply from preventable illnesses caused by malnutrition. By providing affordable nutrition, we help reduce that vulnerability. Every pack of microgreens powder is grown, harvested, and processed by survivors, who earn a fair wage and rebuild their lives through dignified work.

You can watch Cherry’s story below, which shows the impact of the program from rescue to rehabilitation, or visit the Eden website to find out more.

Eden Jewellery. Alongside this, our jewellery social enterprise also creates employment for survivors, and every purchase helps fund Eden’s work while covering all admin costs—so donations go entirely to the frontline.

Eden jewellery is beautiful on the outside—but its true beauty lies in the transformation it represents. Every purchase helps fund safe shelter, trauma counselling, vocational training, and long-term employment for survivors of trafficking. When you wear Eden, you wear freedom. Find out more.

How You Can Support. We’d love your continued support. Please pray for the safety of our team in Myanmar, for lasting breakthroughs for women and girls escaping trafficking, and for resilience as they step into freedom.

You can also contribute financially here. Donations are tax-deductible in Australia, and each and every gift goes towards a vision of a world in which no one is bought or sold. Thank you!
