We love hearing about the experiences of our trip participants. Lindsey Allen from Little Brasstown Church in North Carolina recently went on her 2nd 410 Bridge trip to Kandaria, Kenya and shares a bit from her journey below…
A little while back, I went on my second trip to Africa. We have had the privilege of spending time with the people of Kandaria, Kenya. When we were first reunited with the community, they made us feel like we had never left. The singing and dancing began as laughter and tears filled the air. Our week consisted of visiting two primary schools and working on renovations. I had the pleasure of working with the children most of the week. What a blessing! Could they have done the work without us? Yes! They are most definitely warriors. However, coming along side of them forms a connection that can never be broken.
Many often ask..what was your mission, what were your intentions. We intended to minister and to love, however, we return as the students. We learned more than we ever intended to teach. We experienced a love that can’t be explained. And we return with moments that we will never forget. I will forever be connected to the people of Kandaria, Kenya and I will never forget the lessons they have taught me and the love they have shown me.
