A sweet invitation.

In Isaiah 55, God so clearly laid out his intentions for His people (that’s us too!) when He said:

“Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best,
fill yourself with only the finest.
Pay attention, come close now,
listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.
I’m making a lasting covenant commitment with you,
the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.”
-v.2-4 from The Message translation

As we enter this preparation time for Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., our hearts and minds are leaning into this sweet invitation open to all people from all nations and especially in the communities where we serve. We are abundantly blessed to know that we have friends we call family at The 410 Bridge – that’s you! What a time to be grateful as we look back over this year quickly coming to a close, and see God’s faithfulness to provide time and time again – whether it be through your donations, your selfless service on the ground, or your much appreciated prayers and encouragement. We hope you know that we’re on this journey together – with you and for you. And our highest praise belongs to God, so let’s enjoy His presence this season and believe Him for greater things yet to come.

In these next few weeks throughout December, we’ll be sharing stories of celebration happening across Kenya, Haiti, Uganda and the U.S. – we’re excited for you to celebrate with us! And, in this season of giving, we’ll also have a couple of ways you can show your love…

First, we’ll have an opportunity for you to get involved in Sharing the Good News in its truest sense – purchasing a Bible in the native language of Swahili or Creole – to be placed into the hands of a family household without access to the best news ever – the Gospel. Stay tuned on the details coming very soon at 410bridge.org/Christmas.

Second, there is a new trend that we believe could help us deepen our impact together – Giving Tuesday – taking place on December 1. Look for an invitation to participate with The 410 Bridge coming your way soon!

In all of this we know, Jesus Christ is our sweetest invitation. For He is The Invitation, The Giver, AND The Gift.

What more could we ask for than an opportunity to simply give it all back to Him with a cheerful heart?

He is GOOD. We are GLAD. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Teaching Supplies Are Transforming Lives in El Pajal

In the rural community of El Pajal, Guatemala, education has long faced an uphill battle. For many teachers and students, the lack of basic classroom materials isn’t just a challenge—it’s a daily reality. Imagine trying to learn math without a notebook or teach a reading lesson without any books. For children in El Pajal, this is far too familiar.

Teachers in this community are deeply committed to their students. Many have gone as far as spending their own limited income on supplies, determined to give their students the chance to learn and grow despite the odds. But the burden shouldn’t fall on them alone.

That’s where the 410 Bridge community—and your support—steps in.

Why 410 Bridge’s Team Leader Training Sets a New Standard for Short-Term Missions

In a sea of short-term mission options, it’s easy to get swept up in hype. You pack bags, raise funds, and pray hard—but how often do leaders pause to ask, “Am I really equipped to lead well?”

At 410 Bridge, we believe mission trips should be more than impactful—they should be transformative for everyone involved. That transformation starts with leaders who are deeply prepared: spiritually, emotionally, and logistically.

That’s why we created the 410 Bridge Team Leader Training, a free, online course designed to equip you with the tools, vision, and confidence to lead a mission team the right way—with dignity, humility, and eternal purpose.

Here are just a few glimpses into the lives of the people who make Kiu such a remarkable place…
