Karen H. Johnson is the founder, President and Pastor of the Hebraic/Prophetic ministry and church, Olive Tree Connections.  Karen and her family first came to Nashville in 1997.  Shortly thereafter Karen was invited to join the ministry staff of Trinity Music City Church, part of the TBN family located in Hendersonville, TN.  For several years, Karen conducted a Prophetic School of Ministry in the conference center on the grounds of TBN.   Week after week lives were challenged, impacted, and changed, leaving many listeners with a desire to pursue a deeper walk with God.   The impact of Karen's powerful, life-changing teachings began to spread and eventually opened doors for a ministry base in New York City and the formation of Olive Tree Connections.
Karen's prophetic style of teaching has inspired hosts of people to greater heights: leaders in the church world, marketplace business people, children, teenagers, music industry professionals and even entertainers.  Through Karen's teachings many have begun to discover their personal assignments and callings.   The ministry of OTC is multi-faceted in purpose, multi-cultural in membership, and cutting edge in its approach to teaching God's Word.  Weekly, OTC holds two Hebraic based teachings through a Sunday morning worship gathering, and a Wednesday evening prophetic praise, worship and discipleship gathering.

Karen has appeared on the local TBN Praise the Lord program, the Christian Television Network, God's Learning Channel, several Nashville radio stations, and various chapters of Women's Aglow International.  Throughout Karen's ministry she has never forgotten the poor, the hungry and the homeless.  Karen has ministered  in such diverse venues from maximum security prisons, coffee shops, Planet Hollywood to TBN.  Karen ministers and teaches in New York City, as well as at other churches and in ministry groups throughout America.

Karen is the mother of three children and resides with her husband in the greater Nashville area.
