A Cry in the Dark, Answered by Love

There’s a cry echoing across our cities—a cry too few are willing to hear. Do you hear?

Christian, will you answer?

This cry comes from children abandoned by the very ones who should have protected them. From daughters rescued from sex trafficking, but left with no home -- to abandoned refugee boys trembling in border camps -- clinging to scraps of hope -- will you answer the call? 

Are you haunted by the unspoken grief of the mother from El Salvador who can’t keep her children? Or, do you hear the pain of the father from Witchta, whose only son has disappeared into addiction? When you close your eyes at night, do you still see the 13-year-old girl gripped in total terror and absolute fear, knowing she never got to be a child?

Most of the world hears these cries—yet scrolls on. Christians too. Yes, Christians. But KNOW, our King does not. He suffered and died for those who cry out and mourn. What about you?

"Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ " Matthew 25:37-40

Abundant Life Family Care is KINGDOM Empowered’s answer to these cries. It is not just a new foster care program. It is a holy uprising of radical love, a Christ-centered family movement where the cries of the broken are not ignored—they are met with open doors, open arms, and open hearts. It is a table set in the wilderness. A healing home for the forgotten. A sanctuary of Grace.

“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Our world is drowning in evil and chaos, but the solution is profoundly simple: a loving home, filled with Jesus. What if every Christian household said yes to God’s plan to turn their home into a Grace Home? What if we dared to believe that 1 billion families could rise up and say, “Not on our watch. Not while we have breath. Not while we have a room and a Savior.”

We’re not trying to build an empire. We’re answering a Kingdom call.

“Defend the orphan, plead for the widow.” Isaiah 1:17

And the call is urgent. The hour is late. And the children… they are SUFFERING AND CRYING OUT.

Revolutionizing Foster Care through an Innovative Airbnb-like Web 3.0 Platform

Abundant Life Family Care is poised to revolutionize Utah’s foster care landscape by launching a groundbreaking and extraordinarily unique digital platform—an innovative, "Airbnb-like" application leveraging cutting-edge Web 3.0 technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Explicitly designed to promote and manage licensed private and public foster care homes throughout Utah and beyond, our platform will serve as an accessible, transparent, and comprehensive solution for families in need, foster parents, service providers, and government agencies alike.

“A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.” Psalm 68:5–6

Airbnb-like Digital Marketplace for Licensed Foster Families

At the heart of our strategy is a secure, user-friendly Web 3.0 digital application where licensed foster families in Utah will be able to showcase and promote their foster homes, similar to Airbnb's innovative marketplace model. Each foster family will create a personalized profile featuring detailed descriptions, images, videos, and virtual tours of their home environment, along with clear information about their qualifications, training, specialties, and services provided. This digital platform significantly enhances visibility, allowing foster families to easily connect with prospective parents, guardians, and families from across the globe seeking tailored, compassionate, and family-based foster care.

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Advanced AI Matching System

Leveraging advanced Artificial Intelligence, our platform intelligently and efficiently matches prospective foster care recipients—such as children, single-parent families, refugees, or undocumented immigrants—with ideally suited licensed foster homes. Our AI-driven matching process will carefully consider specific needs, preferences, cultural backgrounds, trauma-informed care requirements, and therapeutic specialization. This precise matching will ensure optimal placements, significantly enhancing care quality, family stability, and emotional well-being for all participants.

“The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

Collaboration with Homeland Security and Government Agencies

Recognizing the urgent need for specialized foster care services, particularly for vulnerable populations such as undocumented immigrants and refugee families, we actively pursue strategic collaboration and formal contracts with Homeland Security and other federal and state entities. By partnering with these governmental agencies, Abundant Life Family Care can directly facilitate safe, licensed placements for families requiring specialized support, ensuring compliance with all legal, ethical, and humanitarian standards.

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.” 1 Peter 2:13–14

Comprehensive Wraparound Services Integration

Our innovative Web 3.0 platform includes a robust integration of comprehensive "wraparound services" providers: Christ-centered medical providers, addictions specialists, psychiatrists, and psychologists, LCSW’s, social workers, nurse practitioners, counselors, therapists, mental health specialists, educational consultants, vocational trainers, financial managers, pastors, bible teachers, coaches, respite care providers, and concerned family members can seamlessly join the digital platform, effectively creating an interconnected network of dedicated service professionals. This streamlined integration allows foster families and recipients to easily access, schedule, manage, and oversee comprehensive wraparound services from a single, unified application interface–Teamwork.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

Blockchain-Enabled Service Management and Payment Solutions

Utilizing blockchain technology, our enhanced platform will offer transparent, secure, and highly efficient management of service provision, documentation, scheduling, compliance tracking, financial transactions, and a safe, encrypted data storage vault. Service providers receive immediate, transparent reimbursement and compensation through blockchain-enabled payment solutions, ensuring clarity, accountability, and promptness. Foster families and service providers alike can easily monitor service delivery, payment processing, and comprehensive care management in real-time.

“Therefore, if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?” Luke 16:11

Robust Digital and Real-Time Support Network

Incorporating advanced Web 3.0 functionalities, our Airbnb-like app will provide an extensive, interactive support network for foster families, parents, and therapeutic service providers. Accessible resources include immersive training modules, ongoing discipleship curricula, "Come Meet King Jesus" and "THE Grace Awakening", community forums, AI-driven mentoring tools, and direct real-time communication channels. This holistic digital ecosystem empowers users to remain continually informed, supported, and connected.

“Encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Transparent, Decentralized Governance and Community Engagement

Our strategic approach includes decentralized governance through a Utah-based Decentralized Autonomous Organization DAO. Stakeholders, foster families, service providers, and community participants actively engage in governance decisions, policy-making, and operational oversight through transparent blockchain-based voting and peer-reviewed audits. This decentralized, community-driven governance model ensures accountability, responsiveness, continuous improvement, and authentic, grassroots empowerment.

“Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.” Proverbs 15:22

Scalability and National Replicability

While initially focused on Utah, our unique platform and operational model are purposefully designed for scalability and replicability. Upon successful implementation and demonstration of effectiveness in Utah, Abundant Life Family Care aims to strategically expand this innovative foster care marketplace nationwide, offering transformative, compassionate foster care solutions beyond Utah's borders.

“Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs.” Isaiah 54:2

Pioneering a New Era in Foster Care

By establishing this pioneering Airbnb-like Web 3.0 platform, Abundant Life Family Care is revolutionizing foster care services—significantly enhancing transparency, accountability, personalized care, and comprehensive community support. Through strategic collaboration with government agencies, comprehensive wraparound services integration, advanced AI matching technology, and decentralized blockchain governance, we are uniquely positioned to transform foster care service delivery.

“Behold, I am doing something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19

This transformative model empowers Utah-based licensed foster homes to serve vulnerable children, families, refugees, and immigrants with unparalleled excellence, compassion, and holistic care—setting an entirely new national standard for family-focused, community-driven, Christ-centered foster care.

Grace Homes, Hubs, and Networks

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.” John 15:12

What is a Grace Home? The New Foster Home

A "Grace Home," as we define it at Abundant Life Family Care, is far more than simply a licensed foster home; it is a sacred sanctuary, intentionally crafted and empowered by the transformative grace and unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Each Grace Home is established when a committed Christian family willingly dedicates their home, their hearts, and their lives to serve vulnerable children, families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities.

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint.” 1 Peter 4:8–9

The caretakers within these homes are not merely foster parents—they are devoted followers of Christ, profoundly called and uniquely equipped through comprehensive pre-licensing discipleship training derived from our foundational eBooks,"Come Meet King Jesus" and "THE Grace Awakening" Grace Homes are explicitly trauma-informed, therapeutically grounded environments leveraging Trust-Based Relational Intervention TBRI practices, holistic integrated medicine, preventative health care, and biblically rooted family support.

Each Grace Home is a vibrant expression of God’s original blueprint for humanity—a nurturing, compassionate place where deep-rooted trauma can heal, and each individual’s inherent dignity and value are fully recognized and restored.

What is a Grace Hub? Holistic Centers of Community-Based Love

"Grace Hubs" serve as essential community-based centers of comprehensive care and support, designed to nurture and uplift families, foster children, and vulnerable individuals within our Grace Homes. Functioning as a centralized home, yet through decentralized resources, Grace Hubs offer coordinated, transparent, and accessible wraparound services including medical and health care, mental health counseling, educational support, vocational training, life skills coaching, financial literacy training, and crisis intervention.

“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42

These Grace Hubs leverage innovative Web 3.0 blockchain technology for operational transparency, efficient resource allocation, and consistent performance tracking. Each Grace Hub operates with a Christ-centered, trauma-informed ethos, reflecting and embodying the transformative love, compassion, and restorative grace of Jesus. Grace Hubs also provide spiritual and emotional care rooted in Scripture, integrating regular Bible studies, community prayer groups, and active discipleship programs aimed at strengthening families and individuals from within.

What is a Grace Network? Connected, Decentralized, and Collaborative

"Grace Networks" refers to the interconnected system of Grace Homes, Grace Hubs, foster families, community stakeholders, and ministry partners united within our Decentralized Autonomous Organization DAO DAPP. Utilizing advanced blockchain technology, Grace Networks will facilitate seamless, secure communication, collaboration, resource sharing, and mutual support among all participating entities. These networks create a dynamic, real-time platform for families and caregivers to access essential resources, share best practices, engage in ongoing training, and foster peer-to-peer mentorship and encouragement.

“So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” Romans 12:5

Our decentralized structure ensures transparency, accountability, and mutual empowerment, reinforcing our commitment to community-driven governance and Christ-like stewardship. Grace Networks also strategically coordinates crisis response, respite care, therapeutic interventions, and comprehensive wraparound services across communities, significantly improving overall outcomes for foster families and children throughout Utah.

What are Grace Communities? Vibrant, Christ-Centered Ecosystems

"Grace Communities" represent the flourishing, transformative ecosystems resulting from the synergistic collaboration between Grace Homes, Grace Hubs, and Grace Networks. These communities will embody our vision for restored local churches, radically transformed by genuine discipleship, compassionate outreach, and proactive, Christ-like service to vulnerable populations.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14

Grace Communities are intentionally designed to break free from the limitations of centralized bureaucratic systems, replacing ineffective practices with efficient, transparent, and decentralized care models. In these communities, vulnerable families, single parents, elderly individuals, and children previously affected by trauma find authentic belonging, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Grace Communities foster vibrant church revitalization, deeply rooted in advanced discipleship training, integrated holistic health care, preventative medicine, and comprehensive community support—setting new standards for compassionate, Christ-centered care.

“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.” Colossians 3:23–24 

Through our carefully integrated model of Grace Homes, Grace Hubs, Grace Networks, and Grace Communities, Abundant Life Family Care offers a revolutionary and transformative approach to foster care in Utah. Each Grace Home, supported by comprehensive community resources from Grace Hubs and Grace Networks, represents a radical commitment to serving and discipling vulnerable children, families, and individuals through Christ’s grace, love, and holistic healing.

Together, these elements forge a groundbreaking, decentralized, and profoundly impactful foster care ecosystem that not only meets the immediate needs of vulnerable populations but also revitalizes and restores entire communities—reclaiming the true purpose and transformative power of Christ’s Church in Utah and beyond.

What Would Jesus Say to Us About the Immigrant at Our Door?

If Jesus were walking the streets of Utah today—if He sat at your dinner table, passed through your neighborhood, and looked you in the eyes—He would not ask for your opinion on immigration policy. He would not be swayed by nationalistic pride, social media rhetoric, or the angry voices of culture wars. He would ask something far simpler. Far more eternal:

"Do you love your neighbor?"

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27

He would remind you that He Himself left the comfort of Heaven to step into the dirt of earth, to clothe Himself in flesh, to enter a womb, and to be born among animals, as a refugee child (Matthew 2:13–15). He would remind you that He washed feet—even the feet of the one who would betray Him. He did not seek political power or earthly borders. He sought the lost, the broken, the despised, and the forgotten.

“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10

He would remind us that He did not condemn the woman caught in adultery, though the law allowed for it.

“He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” ... “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.” John 8:7, 10–11

So then what of the illegal immigrant child—abused, abandoned, traumatized? What of the single mother who fled cartel violence or poverty, desperate for dignity and safety? If Jesus lives in us, then our homes are His homes, and our pantries are His pantries.

Would He send them away with full barns and locked doors?

Or would He say:

“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat;
I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink;
I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
naked, and you clothed Me;
I was sick, and you visited Me;
I was in prison, and you came to Me.” Matthew 25:35–36 

What would Jesus say to American Christians who have comfortable homes, stocked refrigerators, safe neighborhoods, and warm beds while immigrant children sleep on cement floors?

He would remind us:

“To whom much has been given, much will be required.” Luke 12:48

He would not care about your political party. He would not check immigration status. He would not consult Caesar. He would touch the leper, dine with the outcast, and bring healing to the wounded. He would speak truth, yes. But His truth would be clothed in unshakable compassion.

“The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

If you are His disciple, He calls you not to build walls around your blessings, but to lay them down at His feet and let Him distribute them to “the least of these.”

“Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:40

You did not choose to be born in America. It was a gift of mercy, not a reward for righteousness. What, then, will you do with that mercy?

“What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7

Freely you have received. Freely give.

“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

This is not about politics. This is about Jesus. And He is waiting to see if we recognize Him… in the face of an immigrant child.

What About a Safe Zone for Persecuted Jewish Children and Families?

Around the world, the Jewish people once again find themselves under relentless threat. From Hamas rockets and Hezbollah terror tunnels to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Israel is surrounded by enemies who vow her destruction. The threat of World War 3 looms heavy over Jerusalem, and the rising tide of global antisemitism is no longer subtle—it’s violent and open.

“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” Zechariah 12:2–3

Jewish families are being harassed, assaulted, and terrorized in major U.S. cities like New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle, and across states like Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois. The storm is building, and history may soon repeat itself. The question is not if the persecution will increase—it’s when.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.’” Psalm 122:6–7

Will the Jews once again need to flee? And if so, will the Body of Christ in the Great Basin Region be ready to serve King Jesus? Will Christians in Utah and across the Great Basin Region prepare our homes—our Grace Homes—to welcome Jewish families with love, protection, cultural sensitivity, and the radical hospitality of our Jewish Messiah? 

Just as God raised righteous Gentiles during the Holocaust, He is calling us now to be ready. This is our moment to prepare the Safe Zones, light the lamps, and say, “Yes, Lord. Our homes are Yours. Use us.”

“I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3

A Global Call to Radical Love and Holy Surrender

This isn’t just a blog post.

This is a divine summons—to the faithful, the broken, the wealthy, the weary, the willing. To every believer who knows deep in their bones that Jesus didn’t die so we could sit comfortably in pews, but so we could die to ourselves and live for the sake of others.

KINGDOM Empowered has heard the call. And with trembling hands, full hearts, and eyes fixed on Jesus, we are obeying.

We’re building a digital ecosystem to house a spiritual revolution. We’re calling forth 1 billion Grace Homes by 2033—not because we’re powerful, but because He is faithful. Not because we can do it, but because He already said, “It is finished.”

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20–21 

So we surrender. Our lives, our homes, our talents, our treasures. Because He gave us everything. And now, by His grace working through love, we give everything back.

“Freely you received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

To the reader: this is your moment.

Will you say yes?

Yes to the child who needs a place at your table.
Yes to turning your house into a house of healing.
Yes to laying down your comfort so someone else can pick up hope.

We are not building an app. We are building an ark.

Join us. The rain is already falling.

“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place… And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
