The 410 Bridge is a Christ-centered, organization helping to redefine the war on poverty through community development in poverty-stricken nations such as Kenya, Guatemala, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic.
Too often in the West, we want to help the poor without really knowing the poor. We want to change that by helping others to redefine the war on poverty on both sides of the bridge – meaning you and those we help around the world!

Meet Chris Joiner
Friends, what a wonderful season of growth we are experiencing here at The 410 Bridge!
For those I haven’t had yet had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Chris Joiner.
I’ve had the privilege of working at The 410 Bridge for the past two years, first as Director of International Programs, then transitioning to President in 2023. Today, I am incredibly blessed to step into the role of CEO.
As we begin this exciting journey as an organization, I want to share more about who I am, my heart for our mission, and where we are headed this year.
Introducing Chris Joiner as CEO of The 410 Bridge
We are pleased to announce Chris Joiner as the new CEO of The 410 Bridge!
Chris has served our organization for more than two years, initially as Director of International Programs and most recently as President. In both roles, Chris has demonstrated a commitment to servant-leadership and a deep passion for Christ-centered community development. As President, Chris pioneered our expansion into three new countries this year: Indonesia, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
New Year: Next Level Ministry
A New Year frequently evokes a multitude of emotions, deeply influenced by various reasons based on the season of life one is at. For many, it symbolizes a rejuvenating fresh start—a precious opportunity to release the burdens of the past and embrace the future brimming with hope. This transition evokes excitement, particularly for school-age children returning to the classroom after a long break from school in November and December here in Kenya. While children are thrilled to reunite with their classmates and dive back into the classroom environment, they may also grapple with a sense of déjà vu; the inevitability of returning to homework, assignments, and the pressure of upcoming exams can cast a shadow over their eagerness for new beginnings.
