Set Free

We’re taking an active stand as 21st century abolitionists.  It’s in our DNA since our founding in 1860.  Our observance of Freedom Sunday in 2011 launched our efforts to raise awareness to this modern day issue.  You can learn more about how to abolish slavery at International Child Care MinistriesSet Free Movement and International Justice Mission.
 

Eden Reforestation

We are excited to partner with a ministry that has a love for the splendor of creation and cares deeply for the well-being of humankind. Realizing that environmental destruction, through radical deforestation, is a major cause of extreme poverty and oppression in impoverished nations. Deforestation is also considered one of the primary causes behind the climate change crisis.  Eden works hand in hand in communities to plant trees and provide work for locals.  Learn more by going to www.edenprojects.org.
