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.

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. 0 0 2. On November 30, 2025, OTI celebrated a decade of ministry with a landmark Intercultural Thanksgiving Banquet at the Grand Dynasty Chinese Restaurant. This evening served as more than just a milestone celebration; it was a tangible manifestation of our mission: * Unity in Diversity: The event brought together 120 attendees, including a significant delegation of over 30 Messianic Jews from the Tsemach Adonai Congregation. * Fostering Fellowship: By sharing a meal and stories, the banquet successfully deepened the bonds of friendship between the Chinese Christian community and the Jewish people. * Strategic Outreach: The evening solidified long-term partnerships and provided a vibrant space for cross-cultural dialogue and mutual spiritual encouragement. 0 0 3. Recognizing that true allyship begins with understanding, OTI prioritized cultural immersion for its leadership team throughout the year. Our co-workers actively participated in traditional Jewish observances to gain first-hand experience of the heritage we support: * Pesach Seder: Six OTI representatives joined the Passover Dinner at Tsemach Adonai Congregation, engaging in the liturgical retelling of the Exodus to better understand the foundations of Jewish identity. * Hanukkah Celebration: Five co-workers attended the Hanukkah Dinner, celebrating the Festival of Lights and further strengthening our relational ties with local Jewish congregations. * Impact: These experiences have equipped our staff with a nuanced, respectful understanding of Jewish traditions, directly informing our outreach and education programs. 0 0 0 ChiChun Lee CEO/Director 20.00 13200 0 0 Howard Chen Chairman/Director 15 0 0 0 Pam Leng Secretary/Director 10 0 0 0 Yachin Lan Director 5.00 0 0 0 Wenyan Shuster Director 5.00 0 0 0 Neng Gevargiz CFO/Director 1 0 0 0 Lianhai Fu Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Chichun Lee P O Box 1321 Campbell CA 95009 4088599997 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 57031 59652 62424 63524 54102 296733 57031 59652 62424 63524 54102 296733 10000 286733 296733 0 0.96630 0.934 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Computer and Internet;167|Ministry Partner Support;11998|Payroll Tax and Work Comp;3559|Payroll Processing Fee;340|Mission Expense;610|Office Supplies;119|Retreat;1455|Special Event;10208|Supplies;960|Honorarium;2400^Total;31816^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 A reconciliation adjustment was made to the 2025 opening net asset balance to account for discrepancies between the 2024 Form 990 (Part I, Lines 21 and 27) and current bookkeeping records.
