Our mission at Eden is bigger than a building. It’s about transforming lives. Through our dedicated church missionaries and life-giving ministries, we are reaching communities locally and globally with hope, compassion, and the truth of the Gospel. From neighborhood outreach to international partnerships, every step we take is driven by one calling: restoring cities and nations through the power and love of Jesus. You can find out more about our ministries below.
Alex’s calling began in 2014 during an extended season of prayer, when Jesus met him in a way that redirected his life toward evangelism. Since then, Alex and his wife have carried the gospel into unreached nations, preaching Jesus and expecting Him to confirm His Word through signs and wonders. Together they have traveled to 19 nations and have seen large crowds respond to Christ through mass crusade evangelism and compassion ministry. Their strongest doors have opened across Asia, with a deep investment in Sri Lanka, and growing opportunities in Africa, including a recent campaign in Madagascar. Through dozens of campaigns, they report about 163,556 decisions for Christ and ongoing care for thousands through practical support and resources.
Steve and Ros first came to Mozambique on a short-term visit in 1999, returned for three months in 2000, and then resigned their jobs to move full-time in 2001. They have now served for 25 years on the outskirts of Maputo, in a nation marked by deep poverty and constant need. Their ministry centers on caring for orphans and vulnerable children while building long-term strength in the community through education, healthcare, Bible school, housing support, and evangelism. Their heart is simple: love the poor, honor the culture, and live as an example of Jesus where daily life is hard and hope can feel out of reach. They invite you to pray, visit, and come serve alongside them.
Rob and Ticee serve in Alaska with a clear burden: many of Alaska’s 231 villages have little to no lasting missionary presence. Their main focus is the interior along the Yukon River, working among Athabascan Native Alaskan communities where trust is built through time, consistency, and relationships. They bring the gospel through evangelism and discipleship, staying committed for the long haul in places that are costly and difficult to reach. Rob also draws on his paramedic training to provide pre-hospital care training for village first responders, meeting practical needs while building bridges for the message of Jesus. They invite partners who will pray and give so the gospel can reach remote villages and remain there through faithful presence.
In early 2017, Rich heard God tell him to “feed the homeless,” and he obeyed by walking Seattle’s Pioneer Square with breakfast sandwiches. That step of obedience became Reach Ministry, which now serves over 600 people each week through meals, prayer, encouragement, and the gospel. Reach focuses on people impacted by homelessness, addiction, and deep brokenness, meeting practical needs while building real relationships and walking with people into discipleship. Since 2017, Reach reports 1,230+ outreach events, 70,000+ people served, 15,000+ who heard the gospel, and 5,200+ commitments to Christ. Rich and the team also train and mobilize churches and everyday believers to step into outreach with clarity, structure, and steady compassion across the Northwest.
Millie’s calling began at seventeen during a YWAM Discipleship Training School, where she encountered the Holy Spirit and saw a vision of Seattle saturated with God’s presence. That moment stayed with her for years, and in 2020 the Lord brought her to Seattle and began speaking to her about planting a House of Prayer. Out of that journey, Adoration House took shape as a prayer room in the University District, built to host daily prayer and worship and to carry God’s presence across the city. Alongside it, Ancient Gate Coffee serves as a natural entry point to meet students, neighbors, and people far from Jesus through steady relationships, honest conversation, and care for each person’s story. Millie brings fourteen years of ministry experience, including six years on staff with YWAM, theological studies at Northwest University, and church and ministry planting work since 2020. Join believers from over 100 churches as they gather for daily prayer for Seattle, and partner through prayer, volunteering, or giving.
God has a vision for the redemption of people from every nation, tribe, and tongue, and that passion became ours in 2011 when we left a 6-figure corporate salary to see that vision accomplished. India has more unreached people groups than the next several nations combined, and we serve here to make disciples and plant the Church among unreached unengaged people groups. We model Christ through community and relationships with the lost. We often say the gospel in India does not need more pulpits, but more tables, because meals and conversation create space where walls come down and bridges to Christ are built. Alongside disciple-making and church planting, we also oversee financial and administrative work for other church planting teams and their BAMs (Business As Mission). India is a nation of nations, with wide diversity in climate, culture, language, religion, and daily life. In the middle of constant movement and change, we cling to God’s story of love and redemption for all people. We ask for your support through prayer and financial support.
Christian and Alison are full-time missionaries in Cambodia, serving as National Training Directors and as Directors of the Eden Training Center. God promised them they would see Cambodia become a godly, prosperous nation in their lifetime, and they carry an Edenic mandate for Cambodia to be restored to what God has always planned for His creation. They direct and lead as teachers at the Eden Training Center and are responsible for quarterly national district leaders training meetings. They train ministers by going into the villages, district by district, so that every member of their 5-fold ministry team of 450+ ministers will be fully equipped for the work God has called them to do. They also facilitate multiple outreach opportunities to bring the Kingdom of God to the Kingdom of Cambodia. They are located in northern Cambodia, ministering in largely rural village areas across a Buddhist nation, working in over 13 provinces. Christian graduated from Global Bible Institute in Modesto, CA, and Alison graduated from UC Davis with a background in Communications. They interned at Calvary Temple Worship Center in Modesto where 5-fold ministry was emphasized, served in leadership there, and also sat under a Messianic Rabbi for two years. They have served full-time on the field for over 17 years. They invite you to partner through prayer, encouragement, and giving, and they would love to hear from you.
Cathie’s call to missions began on a short-term trip to Africa, where God gripped her heart for those who have never known Him, with a focus on children. Scott was called out of Eden Church to train and send the next generation of workers, returning the hearts of sons to the Father. Together with their children Mattea, Evey, Nixon, and Cruz, they serve as President and Global Expansion Leaders with YWAM Colorado Springs. Their focus is the 3.2 billion people who have little to no access to a Bible, a church, or other believers. They pursue this through church planting, Business as Mission, language schools, community development, and other pathways that open doors for the gospel. Their work is mainly in the 10/40 window, within the major religious blocks where Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and communism still dominate. For the past 30 years, their campus has trained and sent long-term and short-term missionaries, sending out over 200 long-term workers and over 5,000 participants on short-term teams. They invite you to join the story of Christ changing the world.
Pastor Emmanuel Thandu sensed a call to missions through seasons of prayer, Scripture, and serving in his local church, growing into a deep burden for people who have never heard the Gospel. During a mission outreach, he saw lives changed by God’s grace and recognized that this was not only a desire, but a calling. He and his family, his wife Sharon, elder daughter Joycy Rose, and younger daughter Nancy Rose, committed to follow God’s leading with humility and use what God has given them to impact lives for eternity. Their ministry is centered on church planting and spiritual leadership, along with caring for orphans and vulnerable children through Mercy Tribe Children’s Home. They also serve widows and minister in remote and tribal villages across Araku, Paderu, Ananthagiri in Andhra Pradesh and mountainous areas of Odisha, combining practical help with spiritual guidance. They work in rugged, difficult-to-access regions among tribal communities with unique languages and strong cultural traditions, often walking long distances to reach villages through door-to-door evangelism, preaching, healing prayers, and discipleship. With 20 years of experience in rural and tribal ministry, they invite you to partner through prayer, partnership, or financial support to help the Gospel reach those who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ.
On a short-term trip to Cambodia, Jerry walked through an overripe rice field and audibly heard God three times say the souls of Cambodia were ripe for harvest. He asked God to confirm this to Wilma, and at the same time in Modesto, California, Wilma had an open vision of Cambodian faces and audibly heard God say, “GO,” receiving a deep love for the Cambodian people. When Jerry returned home she told him, “I guess we’re going to Cambodia.” On January 21, 2002, they left full-time, and over 24 years they report seeing over 200,000 souls saved and discipled. Their focus is to “Save the Lost and Teach the Found” through one-on-one evangelism, raising up leaders from new believers, and establishing house churches and churches. They now oversee 104 District Leaders/Pastors who oversee 420 pastors, with close to 1,000 children’s Village Bible Clubs reaching 35,000+ children, adult church attendance around 25,000, and 600–800 salvations recorded monthly. They also provide rice monthly to 300+ widows, fully support 79 orphan/destitute children placed in 15 pastors’ homes, and help establish schools in remote areas through local churches. In Battambang, they oversee “Road to Eden” English classes with around 150 students, and Wilma teaches Bible as English Literature classes for university students. They invite you to join through prayer and financial support.
