Flight Attendant Answers Call God Put On His Life 50 Years Ago
May 09, 2018

"I heard God say I need your help. I want you," he recalls.But God's timing often differs from ours. Ken wouldn't fully understand what God was asking of him until several decades later. RELATED: Man Prayed for Time to Serve God, His Answer Came By A Lightning Bolt Colossians 3:23 says "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." And this is precisely what Ken Bridges of Houston, Texas does as a flight attendant for United Airlines. God put him in this profession so he'd always be in the right place at the right time! Ken realized his job would give him access to parts of the world he may otherwise never see. It also opened his eyes to atrocities he would never have seen, as well. So, throughout his 19-year career, the flight attendant answers God's call by helping those in need in foreign countries.
"I'm answering the call of my life 50 years ago," he said.Once Ken recognized his calling, he founded the nonprofit group called Isaiah's Response 6:8 (or IR68) -- “Here am I, Send Me!” The group's goal is to meet needs of as many as possible.

Ken has a special heart for children. In fact, he and his foundation have helped children in 20 countries around the world! Credit: IR68 He and his wife, who is also a flight attendant, help run an orphanage in Guatemala. They also help indigenous former slaves and impoverished villagers in Ecuador. Just last month, Ken visited Rwanda, Africa. And the horrors he saw impacted him deeply."I saw with my own eyes the torment that this country went through," Ken explained. "It's horrifying what the people actually live through. I have a project that I will do there, groundbreaking that I can help for the next seven years."RELATED: Flight Attendant Trusts Her Gut And Saves A Teen From Sex Trafficking Ken has since started a mission to help the children of genocide. He's working to build a school for the villages he visited. You'll find Ken serving just about anywhere and everywhere he can. And he does it all for the glory of God's kingdom.
"There's purpose in my life because I'm making a difference for people. Otherwise, what are you doing? If you don't find joy in what you are doing, then maybe you should look at that," he says.
