Partnering with Military Ministries by Linda Sheimo

DONATE HERE

Olive Branch International was launched over 30 years ago, in coordination with multiple Christian military-focused organizations, military entities and people wanting to reach out in a new way.

This year at the Fellowship of Christian Military Ministries Conference, I (Linda) had the opportunity to share how Olive Branch Ukraine has developed relationships across the community to care for military members and families.  Their ability to provide support in chaplain degree-producing programs, chaplain ministries, and support to military members and their families is built on the investment of our partners for thirty years. 

Their programs are lessons for military-focused ministries around the world.

The OBI display table told our story for 2025.  The banner with Ukraine unit patches attracted attention and interest.  The Olive Branch Ukraine flag brightened our table and the pictures succinctly showed our joy engaging in multiple events.

Even now, we partner with the Family of Christian Military Ministries to support Olive Branch Ukraine.  Our outreach has always been in partnership with others.  Olive Branch International and Olive Branch Ukraine have collaborated with Digital Bibles in Ukraine and restricted countries to distribute audio Bibles. This is a great example of how we multiply outreach by working with a wide range of organizations. 

There is an increased need for coordinated effort between organizations as we face overwhelming needs to care for our military and military members in Ukraine and around the world.
