Haiti Update

Widow Project

Our second service team just returned home from a week in Haiti.  The team was incredible, and we saw God do some pretty incredible things in and through the 12 people that answered the call to go and serve.  We had the opportunity to love on Orphans, to help 12 women start a small business that will allow them to earn income to feed their families and start to rebuild their lives, and we spent two amazing days working to build a house for a Widow and her family of seven kids.  This amazing women had her home totally destroyed by the earthquake and is living in a tent on the side of a mountain with her children.  As we interacted with her and her children, and worked side by side, we learned so much about family and faith.  As I attempted to explain to the “Madam” why we were there and that we were servants of Jesus, she quickly and boldly spoke up proclaiming “Jesus Loves Me” as she patted her hand against her heart.  What an incredible demonstration of faith!

I am wrapping up my time in Haiti today, and am very excited about the opportunities we have to serve the people of Haiti through the local Haitian Church.  Please continue to pray for our ministry as we unite and mobilize the body of Christ in the US, Kenya, and Haiti.

One Day At Church

One day at church I felt a calling or a nudge that God wanted me to serve in a different way. I looked through my church’s opportunities and as soon as I saw Kenya I felt a wash of joy flood over me. I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

Learnings From Kiu, Kenya

Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006. 

At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.
