Meet Pastor James Mwangi!

One of the things we are really committed to as an organization is the development and utilization of local indigenous leadership.  We realized early on that the long term success and sustainability of our model of ministry is dependent on strong local leadership.  We work primarily on the community level and thus strong community based leadership is essential.  For this reason we created the role of a Community Representative.  Community Representatives are our eyes and ears on the ground in our communities. Their primary role is to serve their community through the implementation of 410 bridge programs and projects, and to aid the Leadership Councils in mobilizing and organizing community members to participate in community projects.

We would like to introduce you to Pastor James Mwangi.  Pastor James is the Community Representative for the Karogoto community.  You probably deduced by now that James is also a Pastor.  We have been blessed by Pastor James’ heart for the community of Karogoto, his desire to serve his community, and his passion to further God’s kingdom.  His leadership has been a crucial part of our success in Karogoto.

James

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:
