410 Bridge Baby Shower!

In the almost 10 months that I have worked at The 410 Bridge, my co-workers have not only become friends, but they have also become family. I feel so blessed to be able to come into work every day and work with the most amazing people.

My husband, Chad and I are adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia and we got the call last week that we are to travel THIS week to pick him up! It was a complete surprise as this part of the process has been taking a little bit longer for other families. So, what did the incredible people that I work with do? They threw us a last minute baby shower yesterday leaving us both feeling so blessed and loved! Some friends from BigStuf and our small group came as well! Here are some pictures!!

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.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
