Our Mission
On August 27th, 2024, The Branch of Almond Tree completed our 13th seminar to Ensenada, Mexico. Partnering with missionaries, pastors, ministers, and experienced cosmetologists, we’ve successfully forged a significant bond between the Mexican and Korean communities. Through the impartation of invaluable cosmetology skills, our initiative aims to empower the local Mexican community with the requisite tools and education to pursue careers as hairstylists with hair cutting skills, and secure meaningful employment. For further information about our non-profit organization or to explore opportunities for involvement in our mission, we invite you to visit our Youtube Chanel.
Our Future
Our Mission
Our Mission
We equip faithful individuals in foreign missionary work with skills to revitalize their ministries, offer mental health seminars, and engage directly in mission fields to teach and empower local communities.
Through these efforts, we enhance our own talents, foster lasting relationships with those in need, and support healing and recovery, all while exalting God and building new connections. Our future is one in which we continue progressing the word of God in a community that can share resources, skills, talent, and support.
