The BLESS App helps followers of Jesus love the people God has already placed nearest to them. Sign up as a Light and you receive your 50 closest neighbors, then a daily reminder to pray for and bless five of them by name through five practices rooted in Genesis 12: Begin with Prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, and Share.^1
You can also add friends, family, and coworkers to a personal Bless List, while the app adds your neighbors and serves a new short list each day.^2 Daily encouragement and challenges, video training, and evangelism master classes help turn those rhythms into habits, and you can track each relationship as it grows.^2
Churches can upload attenders and see them on a map, see which homes their Lights have adopted, and hear when new residents move nearby.^1 The individual app is free. Churches can add subscription tools for tracking congregational progress, weekly new-mover lists, and community demographic mapping and mailing lists.^4
Chris and Karen Cooper founded the Mapping Center for Evangelism and Church Growth in 1997, convinced that if believers could see their neighbors by name they would pray, and if they prayed they would go. More than 18,000 churches across all 50 states later used that work.^1 Cooper put the vision this way in a Bless Every Home podcast conversation: "Our vision is that every home in America would be adopted by one or more lights for Christ who live the pray, care, and share lifestyle."^5 Bless Every Home became the BLESS App after The Flourishing Cooperative acquired it in 2024. Palau took over leadership in February 2026, folding the platform into a global evangelism ministry that has served cities for more than 65 years.^1 Dave and Jon Ferguson first named the five practices in B.L.E.S.S.: 5 Everyday Ways to Love Your Neighbor and Change the World.^6
