Our Story

Olive Branch Ministries International is a Texas-based Christian nonprofit created to serve people by compassionately ministering to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our mission is rooted in sharing the Gospel while giving volunteers meaningful opportunities to use their individual skills and gifts in service to others.

For more than 15 years, Olive Branch Ministries has served communities in Peru through medical mission trips, educational outreach, church support, and other hands-on programs. These trips bring together medical professionals, students, educators, families, and volunteers who share a desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of the people and communities they serve.

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with churches, universities, medical professionals, and local organizations. The establishment of Olive Branch Ministries Peru has strengthened our ability to work within the country, support our Peruvian staff, and facilitate the delivery of medications and supplies in accordance with local requirements.

What began as a desire to meet immediate needs has grown into an ongoing ministry built around service, partnership, and lasting relationships. We believe every person has something valuable to contribute, and we remain committed to creating opportunities for people to serve God by serving others.

Olive Branch Ministries International: Peru, South America

For more than 15 years, Olive Branch Ministries International has been serving communities across Peru. Key to this ongoing mission is Olive Branch Ministries Peru, our registered local nonprofit and the heart of our daily operations. Our on-the-ground team coordinates transportation, ensures our volunteer providers and medical clinics meet all government regulations, and provides real-time guidance on travel and safety. Living in the communities we serve, our Peruvian staff continue walking alongside patients long after visiting teams return, helping them navigate the local healthcare system for follow-up care after being seen by the OBM team.
