The Miracle and the Movement         Bruce & Tiffany

 

The story of the Miracle Man has now reached every major network.  With heartfelt gratitude, we give thanks to God—and to the heroes on the beach, as well as the dedicated professionals

 

in the medical field who work tirelessly every day. To God be the glory for orchestrating the people and circumstances that brought forth this life-saving miracle.  Perform a search “peanut

 

island rescue” on face book to see the story.  Tiffany and I are now committed to promoting CPR awareness and helping communities access AEDs through our ministry. This second chance

 

at life isn't just a blessing—it's a calling. A calling to save lives. A calling to ignite change. One vision I’ve been building toward is a community-based initiative called LIVE—Legal Immigration

 

Volunteer Empowerment.  LIVE is inspired by a core belief: that compassionate, community-guided sponsorship can transform lives. U.S. immigration law includes provisions for sponsoring

 

individuals seeking to immigrate legally. Yet in today's landscape, deportations too often sweep away innocents, and immigration debates dominate headlines.  We've seen our borders swing

 

between extremes. Now is the time for a balanced, thoughtful approach—one rooted in community, accountability, and human dignity. LIVE seeks to create a system where individuals we refer

 

to as “aliens” (belonging to a foreign country or nation) can become immigrants, and eventually, citizens. That progression is the heartbeat of LIVE.  Our guiding principle? Adopt an Alien.

 

Anyone—individuals, churches, nonprofits, businesses—can help provide the support, oversight, and mentorship needed to guide someone through the immigration journey. This effort reflects the kind of

​

unity and purpose I experienced firsthand on June 25th, when strangers came together on a beach to save my life.  Different skills, One goal, LIVE will operate as a grassroots movement. These are

 

citizen-driven efforts that start locally, build momentum through community engagement, and create meaningful change from the bottom up. We're not waiting for policy to change—we’re activating

 

compassion, right now.  Here’s how it works with Step one:

 

•Build a community of sponsors/individuals willing to adopt an alien and/or affect change.

 

• Sponsors commit to supporting that individual or family for up to seven years—covering basic needs without

 

reliance on government assistance. 

 

• The estimated cost is about $21,000 per year ($147,000 total), similar to raising a child.

​

• The immigrant can contribute through work, but the sponsoring community guarantees the cost.

​

• Once a visa is obtained, the individual transitions to immigrant status, with a pathway toward citizenship within seven years.

​

This model isn’t just about immigration—it’s about relationship. It’s about building strong community ties, fostering civic responsibility, and strengthening the American fabric one person at a time.

Our first goal is to gather 5,000 followers—with more details coming soon.
