Paying for Harvard…

Calling all sponsors!! We have an amazing opportunity to assist our children in Kenya in making it to High school. This year, we had over 150 students who qualified for Provincial  and National level high schools around the country. This is a HUGE improvement over years past and show a lot of hope for the future of our communities. The better the high school you get into, the better your chance of going to college… and the better a student’s capacity to give back to their 410 Bridge community as an adult.

However, just because the students qualify for a great high school doesn’t mean they will get to go… the better the school, the more expensive it will be.  For some of these students, they have worked SO hard and have been accepted into GREAT schools, but without our help, they won’t be able to go…

In many ways, it is the economical-cultural equivalent of being accepted to Harvard and not being able to afford it.

So, let’s get involved! We need 2 sponsors for every one of the 153 students who qualified for secondary school. That means we need 306 sponsors at $39 a month… to raise up leaders who will impact millions in their communities by the time they graduate college. Crazy huh!? That so few people on this side of the bridge can so simply affect the lives of millions on that side!

Let us know if you’re interested in sponsoring a secondary school student. We are still gathering their pictures but we can tell you their stories. Email us at “info@410bridge.org”… and take advantage of this amazing opportunity!

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:
