Olive Branch 4 Widows (OB4W)
Rooted in James 1:27, Olive Branch 4 Widows (OB4W) partners with Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church to provide compassionate care and practical support to widows and widowers in our church family and community.
Founded and led by Fred and Mary Moses, OB4W offers help with everyday needs—such as meal preparation, changing light bulbs, light touch-up painting, and friendly visits—along with emotional encouragement and prayer. For larger needs, like car repairs or home maintenance, OB4W connects individuals with trusted service providers.
Through this partnership, SMBC is able to extend the love of Christ by ensuring that no widow walks alone. Together with OB4W, we aim to stand alongside those navigating loss, offering both tangible assistance and the warmth of fellowship, so they may continue to live with dignity, hope, and community support.
