Community Spotlight Wednesday! Kawira, Kenya

The first phase of the Kawira Water Project is complete! The community members are now able to pipe water to their farms and homesteads. The second phase is now under way. This phase is the construction of the water tank base and lying of more pipes throughout the community.

The 410 Bridge Community Coordinator, David Muchai, has purchased textbooks for distribution throughout the schools of Kawira. The distribution was halted due to the nationwide teachers’ strike, but should resume in the upcoming weeks.

A team from Christ Community Church visited Kawira in late June. The team worked side by side with the community trenching, laying down pipes, and  starting construction of the water tank base. The team was also blessed by the opportunity to meet the children who received Bibles from BigStuf 2012. A few team members had participated in the Bible purchase and distribution and were able to meet the children who had received the Bibles with their picture! The team members and children of Kawira were excited about the opportunity to meet and share the Word.

Thank you to all who have invested in and prayed for the community of Kawira!

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:
