Mission

We believe hope is found in Jesus Christ, and our calling is to help chronic illness warriors, cancer warriors, and caregivers experience that hope through practical acts of love, authentic community, encouragement, prayer, and compassionate service.
No Warrior Walks Alone!
About the Founder

Tina Marie Medlin is the founder of Warrior Braids Ministry, a Christ-centered nonprofit born from her personal journey with Crohn’s disease. Through years of pain, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness, she discovered that her struggles were not just part of her story, they were part of her calling.
Driven by a passion to encourage others, Tina created Warrior Braids Ministry to restore hope through Christ for chronic illness warriors, cancer warriors, and caregivers. Through Warrior Boxes and other ministry outreach, she is committed to reminding every person they are seen, loved, prayed for, and never alone.
Vision

We envision a future where every chronic illness warrior, every cancer warrior, and every caregiver has access to hope, encouragement, authentic community, and the love of Jesus Christ.
We dream of churches equipped to care for families facing illness, hospitals partnering to provide support beyond medical treatment, volunteers serving with compassion, and future generations faithfully carrying this ministry forward.
Success will never be measured simply by numbers or recognition.
Success will be measured one life at a time-every warrior encouraged, every caregiver strengthened, every prayer offered, and every person pointed toward Christ.
