Please pray…. tragedy in Ngaamba

Please pray for the community of Ngaamba today.

There was a vehicle accident yesterday involving some of the children from Itumbule Primary School. There are multiple confirmed deaths and many serious injuries. While we do have a 410 Bridge team on the ground in Ngaamba, no US team members were involved nor were they in proximity to the accident.

This is a school that many of our teams have served and invested in, and our hearts break for the families and community members that have been effected.

Information is still coming in. At this point, most details are unknown and a good amount of misinformation has circulated.

We ask your prayers for the community, and your patience with us, as our staff seeks the most accurate information to share with you.

We sincerely ask that you resist reaching out directly to our Kenyan staff or Ngaamba community members in search of information. Our desire is to protect them from the incredible volume of communication and questions that they don’t yet have answers to.

If you would like to send your condolences and prayers, please email them to prayer@410bridge.org. Once more details and information becomes available, we will be sure to give you other avenues to show your support and love.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our office (770.664.4949)

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:
