Samuel - God's Bridge of Transition

                                  "And the boy Samuel grew in stature, and in favor 

                                                both with the Lord and with men."
                                                                   1 Samuel 2:26

This is Samuel......He is a young humble 15 yr old boy that was brought to this Kisii orphanage yesterday by an elder of the church who found him by the river crying and wanting to commit suicide as he had lost both his parents to illness and had been living with his uncle who had been providing for his needs and caring for him. Samuel's uncle had ultimately lost his job and was unable to afford food for even his children and immediate family. Samuel in despair had not been attending school as he did't have the funds and resources for the fees, books and uniforms, and he was in deep depression and hopelessness when the elder found him crying and brought him to the orphanage. The love of Samuel's heavenly Father saw His young son and sent a man, a bridge of His love, a man filled with the love and Spirit of Jesus, to reach out to him and save him from the clutches of the enemy of depresssion, hopelessness and despair. Bringing Samuel to the orphanage the Pastor and his wife and the love in this orphanage is restoring him to new life and hope again. Samuel has been fed, received new clothes, has been given a home to sleep and live in, and a family to love him, and now he will be able to return to school again and look at his bright future through the eyes and heart of His heavenly Father. Samuel's story is similar to many of these orphan children.
Their lives are being turned around by God's LOVE.

      The Pastor & Samuel

This Kisii orphanage is a kingdom orphanage, filled with redeeming love and hope and purpose that brings these children that have lost their parents, their love and security, and any hope for provision or care back into a bright future. This orphanage IS a bridge of LOVE into these children's lives to restore and redeem them back into the loving care and security of their Father's arms.

In the Bible there were direct similarities between the young boy, Samuel, and Jesus. Both were children of promise. Both were dedicated to God before birth. Both were bridges of transition from one stage in the nation's history to another. I believe this young boy Samuel that was brought to this orphanage yesterday represents this "bridge of transition" between his family, his nation, but also a generation of young orphaned children that are lost and hopeless and are being bridged back into their Kingdom future and purpose with their heavenly Father. This is a Kingdom hour, and we need to see through Kingdom eyes into the lives that God brings into our paths. God's Kingdom is coming into this earth through us, His Body. Let's BE His hands, His feet, His arms, AND His Bridge of Love.
