Executive Directors: Julius and Shanda Karow
Julius and Shanda Karow married in 2011 & knew that their passion together would be for the Orphan. Julius was adopted by his grandparents and knew the importance of family reunification, having a strong support system and keeping siblings together. Shanda grew up in a mainly single parent home with her siblings and mom who became a licensed mental health therapist and worked with children under CPS care. Together Julius and Shanda became foster parents in 2012. Over the years they have fostered over 25 children and were blessed to become the forever family to 4 of those children through adoption. Throughout all of the highs and lows of their journey, they knew their Heavenly Father was guiding their path, but they were always searching for people who could support & understand all that their family was facing. This is the passion behind Kingdom Care: that no family would face this journey alone or be without a supportive group of people to rally alongside them as they say “Yes” to caring for the orphan. Their Journey has led them to the Orphan Care Pastors roles at Risen Nation Church where they serve a congregation devoted to emptying the foster Care system as well as Executive Directors of Kingdom Care.

Board of Directors
President of the Board : Matthew Hammersky
Matt & his wife Sydney planted and Pastor Risen Nation Church in Pasadena, Texas. He has always had a heart for the orphan. He and his wife helped start an orphanage with founders Mike & Lidiette Rosas in Bogota, Colombia called Love Bought International. They have also spent over a decade serving at risk youth in the community with various outreach programs and youth ministries. In January of 2020 they began fostering their son Michael. He had extreme behaviors and really pushed them to the limit. Thankfully with the help of Jesus, the community of Risen Nation, Kingdom Care and The Sanctuary Foster Care Services they never gave up on him. It’s been a long journey but they will be adopting him officially in October of this year.

Vice President of the Board- Chase Hansen
Chase and Amy Hansen were married in 2013 and have three children, Josephine, Isabel and William. As a family they have served The Church in many capacities throughout the years with the intention to be the hands and feet of Jesus however that looks and in whatever season. Their ‘yes’ to the orphan looks like supporting Kingdom Care in their ministry today and hopefully being able to foster and/or adopt in the future. Their heart is to see The Kingdom come to earth and to spread the love of the Father.
