"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
— Gospel of John 8:12 (KJV)
April 2026 — A monthly reflection on community, service, and impact
The Divinebod Foundation exists to be a beacon of encouragement, service, and opportunity within our community. Just as light guides the way through darkness, our mission is to help illuminate paths for those who may need support, resources, or encouragement along their journey.
Through programs that focus on accessibility, wellness, and community outreach, we aim to uplift individuals and remind them that no one has to walk their path alone.
We believe that when we help others see possibility, strength, and independence in their own lives, we reflect the very light that inspires this mission.
A Founder's Light
April Message from Otis Bartlett
April is a season of new beginnings — and that's exactly what we're stepping into as a foundation. This month, we're not just planning events; we're building something that will outlast any single gathering.
I'm especially excited to share that The Sanctuary — our private online community — is now open. This is a space I've been praying over for a long time. A place where our community can connect, encourage one another, share testimonies, and grow together between events. It's free, it's faith-centered, and it's yours.
We also have two incredible new experiences coming this summer — the Air & Space Museum on June 13 and the National Zoo on July 18. Both are free, both are open to families, and both are designed to inspire wonder and purpose in everyone who attends.
Our April goal is $5,000 — and we're already at $1,700. Every dollar goes directly toward program supplies, equipment, and materials. We're making real progress, and I believe we'll reach it together.
Thank you for being part of this light. We're just getting started.
With gratitude and purpose,
Otis Bartlett

Monthly Community Support Goal
April Goal: $5,000
To continue expanding programs and outreach, The Divinebod Foundation has set a monthly support goal of $5,000. These funds go directly toward program supplies, equipment, and materials that make each session possible — ensuring every participant has what they need to grow, build, and thrive.
Where Your Donation Goes
Every dollar raised this month goes toward the supplies, gear, and materials needed to launch and sustain our programs. Here's exactly what we're working toward:
Faith & Fitness
- Resistance bands, jump ropes & agility cones
- Reusable water bottles & hydration supplies
- Program t-shirts & faith-based journals
- First aid kits & safety gear for sessions
Hands That Build
- Hammers, screwdrivers & measuring tools
- Lumber, wood & raw building materials
- Safety goggles, gloves & protective gear
- Paint, stain, craft kits & finishing supplies
See For Me
- AI-powered smart glasses for training
- Tablets, assistive software & navigation aids
- Accessible workbooks & printed materials
- Volunteer coordination & participant support
100% of donations go directly toward programs, supplies, and the people we serve — never toward administrative overhead or unrelated expenses.
