What it reported doing in 2025
1. In 2025, Olive Tree International (OTI) successfully curated and hosted a series of five specialized webinars via Zoom, designed to bridge the gap between biblical history and modern-day missions. These sessions provided a platform for global experts to share critical insights with our community: * Geographic & Historical Context: 03/21/25, Elder Jerry Wang opened the year with a detailed reflection on "Visiting the Holy Land in 2024," providing contemporary context to sacred sites. * Missionary Preparation: 04/25/25 Rev. Abraham Chang and 09/19/25 Missionary Grace Lan delivered strategic sessions on the practicalities and spiritual urgency of " How to Prepare for Jewish Mission" & "Standing at the First Line" of Jewish missions. * Theological & Cultural Depth: 05/16/25 Rabbi Charlie Cohen's "The Faith of Olive Tree" & 07/11/25 Brother Ty Perry's "It is the Time to Stand with Israel" explored the roots of the faith and the ethical imperative for Christians to stand in solidarity with Israel.
