Kandaria 8:00am-8:15am

Here in the States, what you’ll see in this video would have taken days…

The 410 Bridge community of Kandaria had to relocate a brand new 24,000 liter plastic water tank to a location deep within their community.  The tank was delivered to the outskirts of the community, but the cement platform that was built for it was 1-2 kilometers away – mostly uphill.

During my last visit, I heard they were going to move the tank by hand and I was eager to see it.  The journey started at 8:00 am, and believe it or not, it was completed by 8:15 am.  15 minutes!

It would have taken us days just to get the crane in place…  then the flatbed truck….  then clear a path…  then drive the truck to the platform…  then relocate the crane to take the tank off the truck… etc.  etc.

Not in Kandaria…

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:
