Help us support the families of the Ngaamba accident…

The community of Ngaamba suffered a great tragedy earlier this week when a truck full of students and adults rolled over on its way to a music event. Five young girls were killed and over 50 children and adults were injured. Many of the injured are still in the hospital recovering from their injuries. As you can imagine this type of tragedy had a huge impact on the entire community as they mourn the loss of family and friends, and care for those that were injured in the accident.

The emotional toll of this on the families involved is nothing short of catastrophic. The emotional suffering is compounded by the financial implications of medical bills and funeral expenses. We have decided to partner with local churches in the community of Ngaamba in an effort to raise funds to help the families that lost loved ones, and those that are injured with the expenses associated with this tragedy. In last several years hundreds of people have gone and served the community of Ngaamba on 410 Bridge service trips, many of whom spent time with the people most effected by this accident. We want to demonstrate God’s grace and love to these families in a time when they need it most. If you would like to make a contribution to help support these families please click on the link below to make a donation. Our prayer is that the body of Christ in the U.S. and in Kenya will untied together to minister to the needs of these families.

One Day At Church

One day at church I felt a calling or a nudge that God wanted me to serve in a different way. I looked through my church’s opportunities and as soon as I saw Kenya I felt a wash of joy flood over me. I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

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:
