Ndibai Start-up Training

Business Start-Up Training (BST) is an incredible program where people learn skills and strategies for starting small businesses. Ndibai has been able to receive a couple of these courses in the past year. Community members will receive the opportunity to sign up for a class. The classes are usually about one month long and are hosted by a trained indigenous facilitator.

BST graduates are empowered with the ability to create jobs and spark change in their communities as they step into their giftings. They are challenged in economic empowerment, social community, and spiritual growth.

Together, they participate.

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:
