Voice of Truth Stories
Meet Samara Jules-Robinson from Orlando, Florida
In the pages of Voice of Truth (14th Edition), I discovered a source of inspiration that resonated deeply within me— Ephesians 3:20. The Bible is not a book of words but a living guide shaping my journey with courage and compassion. As I delved into the verses that spoke to my soul, Isaiah 6:8 became my heartfelt prayer: Here I am! Send me (NKJV). It symbolized my readiness to answer the divine call and positively impact the lives of those in need.
Growing up, Isaiah 41:10 became my refuge during life’s storms. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand (NLT). Beyond assurance, this verse became a personal anchor, a reminder that fear had no place in my journey when guided by the Almighty.
These verses weren’t just words; they laid the foundation for my mission. In 2021, I founded Mentors for Fatherless Children and Abused Families Corporation, not as a career move but as a spiritual response to a call to serve families in crisis. Leading troubled youth through tough times wasn’t a project; it was a purposeful endeavor to strengthen family bonds and bring them closer to God.
Galatians emerged as a guiding principle, offering wisdom on the fruitage of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, and self-control. These virtues weren’t lofty ideals; they became practical tools in our work.
In every interaction with the families we support, we aim to embody these qualities, creating an environment reflecting the compassion outlined in Galatians 5:22.
Our journey with Mentors for Fatherless Children transcended mere programs; it became a spiritual journey. Starting with a limited budget and self-funded events and services, the organization became a beacon of hope in the community. The impact of small, positive actions, akin to leaven, transformed the lives of over 1,500 individuals, emphasizing the ripple effect of goodness within the community.
This journey is about reaching out to families in crisis, offering them support and understanding that transcends mere assistance. It’s about making a tangible difference in their lives, guided by the principles that have been my personal rock.
On this spiritual journey, every act of kindness becomes a testament to my faith, every moment of compassion echoes the call to serve, and every positive change reflects a higher purpose.
I invite others to join me on this spiritual journey, where scriptures are not distant references but intimate companions, guiding us to uplift, educate, and motivate those in need through peace, love, and unity. Let’s weave a story of courage, compassion, and transformative love together.
Thank you again,Samara Jules-Robinson Founder – Executive Director, Mentors for Fatherless Children and Abused Families Corporation
