Meet the Fosters
John and April Foster are the founders of Fostering Foundations, LLC, a ministry and movement devoted to rebuilding marriages, restoring families, and reclaiming identity in Christ. Married for 30 years, they are best friends, ministry partners, and bold carriers of the light of Jesus everywhere they go. Together, they are called to mobilize the Body of Christ to rise, fulfill their purpose, and glorify the Father in every sphere of influence.
April serves as CEO, bringing vision, spiritual leadership, and prophetic encouragement, while John serves as CFO, the wise and steady builder with degrees in finance and accounting and an MBA grounding their mission with strategy and strength. Where April confronts hopelessness, John tackles helplessness. Together, they anchor hearts in truth and empower people to live with courage and clarity.
They have raised two incredible children, homeschooling them through high school with a classical Christian education firmly rooted in God’s Word. Their passion for family extends beyond their own home as they mentor married couples, equip individuals to anchor their identity in Christ, and serve teenagers in foster care through camps, mentorship, and ongoing support. They believe no young person is forgotten and no marriage is beyond restoration.
Now in their 8th season of the Bedroom and Bible podcast, John and April invite listeners into authentic conversations as they read Scripture aloud, share rich dialogue, and pray—modeling what it looks like to pursue Jesus together in marriage. Their heart is simple: to help others move from information to transformation through real encounters with the Holy Spirit.
April is a bestselling author, speaker, and mentor whose books include The Unexpected Guest (2025), The Joyous Journey of Loss, Before She Knew Jesus, and The Joy-Full Entrepreneur. She is currently writing the Love Colored the Way trilogy, created to awaken hearts to God’s relentless love.
Whether scuba diving, hiking mountain trails, skiing, riding in hot air balloons, enjoying beaches, or traveling full-time in their fifth wheel, John and April live with a spirit of adventure. They love Jesus with all their heart, mind, and soul—and their greatest joy is carrying His presence wherever they go, calling others to rise for such a time as this
