About La Nueva Independencia
La Nueva Independencia means “The New Independence” in Spanish. This community gained its independence from a neighboring community, Chiantla.
It took them more than 10 years (1995-2005) to officially separate.
Coffee is the main crop in the community. Some community members work as electricians and blacksmiths. All families in the community are close and help each other. Most mothers work at the home.
La Nueva Independencia has partnered with 410 Bridge since 2018.

Sponsor the Community of La Nueva
When you sponsor the La Nueva community through 410 Bridge, you support programs and projects that allow the people to fix their own unique set of barriers. Every chance we get, we want to empower and lift up people to recognize that God has given them giftings and skills to move their communities forward to a better and more self-sustaining place.
Sponsoring the La Nueva community, whether for $18, $23, $35, or more a month, allows for this to happen.

A Heartfelt Reflection on Our Trips Summit
This February, a team of staff members from Guatemala, the United States, and the Dominican Republic gathered for a memorable Trips Summit. Our mission? To prepare the Dominican Republic to host mission teams, grow stronger as a unified team, and brainstorm ways to make each mission trip a truly transformational experience—for both the communities we serve and the teams that visit.
Reflections and Hope for 2025 in Guatemala
Over the course of more than forty missionary trips in Guatemala, we shared God’s Word and experienced deeply emotional moments where His presence was undeniable. The hearts of missionary groups, community leaders, translators, and even our team were touched as we worked together to uplift these communities. It has truly been a year of transformation.
