About Olive Tree Ministries
Olive Tree Ministries Inc. directs most of its giving toward Bible teaching, prophecy, and Christian media, with grants that often support program work rather than one-time relief. The largest recent award in the file was $400,000 to Rock Harbor Church in Bakersfield, California for program support, followed by $303,000 to Chosen Ministries in New York, New York. Those gifts sit alongside a pattern of funding ministries that communicate an end-times message, including Behold Israel, which received $75,000 in 2025 and another $15,000 in 2024 for support of its mission. The foundation’s stated purpose is to help people understand biblical times, contend for the faith in Jesus Christ, and help the Church stand against deception. That mission shows up in both its program grants and its active conference and speaking efforts. Olive Tree Ministries Inc. also supports humanitarian and faith-based work tied to Ukraine and Israel, while continuing to back churches, broadcasters, and evangelical organizations with recurring support across multiple years.
What Olive Tree Ministries Funds
A clear theme in the portfolio is prophecy-focused teaching. Olive Tree Ministries Inc. gave $25,000 to Declaring Zion International in 2025 for program support and $10,000 to Prophecy Update in Bakersfield, California for program support, both aligned with Bible teaching and end-times content. Media and broadcasting are another recurring channel. The foundation awarded $10,000 to His Channel Ministries in Santa Ana, California for program support and $10,000 to His Channel in Anaheim, California for support of mission, alongside an earlier $11,000 gift to Hischannel Ministries that was split between Daniel’s Vision of the End Times and the Israel Project. Humanitarian and faith-based international work also appears in the record. Good Samaritan Mission received $63,000 in 2023 for support donation for Ukraine, and Radio Mv received $28,000 in 2023 for support Ukrainian radio. On the Israel side, Impacting Israel received $50,000 in 2025 for program support.
